Novel Technology Enables Industrial Coatings to Perform at New and Longer-Lasting Levels
For durability, toughness, adhesion and corrosion resistance in industrial coatings, enhancing the base epoxy resin is key to high performance. These improvements must be provided while maintaining compatibility with the hardener system during cure.
Carbon nanotubes with their individual tube properties of high tensile modulus (~800 GPa) and tensile strength (~100 GPa) are well recognized to potentially improve both the impact as well as durability of epoxy systems.
