Field Testing of Water Emulsion Epoxies.
Abstract
The Civil Engineering Laboratory conducted a field test of two water emulsion epoxy coatings, a low solvent epoxy coating, a regular solvent epoxy coating, and a control alkyd coating. The coatings were placed on either sandblasted steel panels or over weathered alkyd coating panels for exposure at Kwajalein, Marshall Islands (a marine atmospheric environment). Test data were collected after one-half year and 1 year of exposure; the test panels are still in position for further study. After 1 year of exposure, the low solvent epoxy and the alkyd control panels are in better condition than the two water emulsion epoxy systems and the regular solvent epoxy panels.
