This novel water-based epoxy system, which offers comparable performance to traditional solventborne epoxy/polyamide systems, can also be applied on civil engineering concrete substrates, and has a lower applied cost.
By using these novel reactive silicones, formulators can develop more-durable solutions that enable customers to reduce system costs by extending the interval between recoating, and by keeping their tanks, pipelines, ships and other assets in service with less downtime.
The combination of a high-Tg, hydrophobic, high-MW alkyd with the proper surfactants and levels can produce a highly corrosion-resistant DTM alkyd emulsion when formulated with select pigment dispersants.
The Avro Heritage Museum, located in Woodford, Cheshire, has revealed its largest renovation project, the Avro Vulcan XM603, which has been restored to the same iconic livery as when it was first manufactured in 1963.
