The improved adhesion, good corrosion resistance and good QUV gloss retention show that the hydrophobic resin in the hybrid polymer can be used to reduce the effects of high acid on corrosion and of styrene on QUV gloss retention.

Following the results from this study, biobased preventative is an excellent and environmentally acceptable alternative to petroleum-based products in temporary corrosion protection.

Although CBPC coatings are relatively new in mine, quarry and aggregate processing applications, their use will only grow as word spreads about how they can inhibit carbon steel hopper and structural corrosion for decades as well as reduce premature maintenance and replacement.

Binders that show a high contact angle both before and after the salt spray test perform better for corrosion protection, compared to those that show low contact angles before and after the test.

The adhesion/corrosion balance of the previous study yielded significant new insights into resin design. Polymers with good wet adhesion and good corrosion resistance could be isolated, and those properties correlated back to their monomer compositions and particle morphologies.

This tester provides multifunction nano and micro/ macro modules on a single platform. Both modules include scratch tester, hardness tester and wear tester modes, providing a wide and user-friendly range of testing.
