Abrasion Resistant, Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Compliant Coatings for Hydraulic Structures.

Abstract

The Corps of Engineers has used solution vinyl paints for the corrosion protection of hydraulic structures on inland waterways for many years. These coatings have an excellent service life; however, the liquid paint contains high quantities of solvents. To comply both with existing and anticipated pollution regulations, it is necessary to evaluate potential coatings to replace those currently used. Ten elastomeric polyurethanes were tested in the laboratory; six were recommended for field testing. They were applied to an epoxy basecoat system consisting of MIL-P-24441/29 F150, Type IV primer and MIL-P-24441/30 F151, Type IV topcoat. This epoxy system is the latest and lowest-VOC version of MIL-P-24441. The report includes laboratory and field test results.
