Abstract:

In search for tomorrow's technol. for water-based coatings, Decora Manufg. and The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, have initiated an intensive research program for designing, developing and manufg. new coatings based on crosslinked, room-temp.-cured silicone-epoxy resins. The new water-borne coatings have most exciting characteristics such as: non-stick properties, effective release, high lubricity, corrosion protection and abrasion resistance. The coatings are environmentally friendly and easy to use. These coatings are ideal for marine, agricultural, industrial and maintenance applications. This paper brings quant. measurements related to the dispersion technol. (particle size, stability, shelf-life), to the non-stick properties (deicing, low surface energy, easy-release and non-stick), lubricity, adhesion to substrates, viscosity, dynamic and static friction coeffs. and environmental impact (low VOC, non-toxicity, low-leaching). The coating was tested in various industrial coating systems and was found to exhibit excellent non-stick and release properties. Special attention was given to Zebra Mussels, Quagga Mussels, and other bacterial and algal bioforms. The coating proved to be efficient as foul-release coating with very low biofouling adhesion. The low adhesion applied to many other substances in which foul-release means easy-clean and low wear. [on SciFinder(R)]
