Chapter 14-15 Flashcards
Summarize the relationship between drying and curing
“drying = removal of solvent by evaporation , cannot stand up to minor scratches bumps or other damage
curing = chemicals process in which the coating crosslinks to reach its optimum hardness”

convertible and non convertible coatings
“2 types of curing mechanism
Non-Convertible Coating - no chemical change , can be re-dissolved in solvent used/ single component coatings / aka Thermoplastic - can be reheated, remolded and cooled.- typically single coats
Convertible - cure through a chemical change as a result of an irreversible cross-linking reactions / aka thermoset - coatings that strethen when heated will not resoften after the inital cure. cannot be redissolved by their orignal solvent - typical multicoat/single coats . Chemical cure”
Non-Convertible Coating -
no chemical change , can be re-dissolved in solvent used/ single component coatings / aka Thermoplastic - can be reheated, remolded and cooled.- typically single coats
Convertible -
cure through a chemical change as a result of an irreversible cross-linking reactions / aka thermoset - coatings that stregthen when heated will not resoften after the initial cure. cannot be redissolved by their original solvent - typical multicoat/single coats . Chemical cure”
Non convertible - solvent evaporation (vinyl and chlorinated rubber)
“1. no chemical change
2. when the solvent evaporates from the applied film into the air, the resin pigment, and additives remain on the surface.
3. permanently dissolvable in their own origianl solvents, care needs to be taken not to overcoat these types of coatings with coatings containg aggressive solvents without first apply a test patch to veriyf.
4. must not apply to thick or will trap solvents within the film
5. rapid solvent evaporation can be prone to dry spray and cobwebbing.
6. solvent evaporation contains VOC.
“
Non convertible - coalescence (latexes or acrylic and water emulsions)
“cure through evaporation of water combined with the fusing together of the resin/binder particles
1. tiny particles of resins are dispersed in the water
2. when water evaporates the resin particles fuse together (coalesce) to form a continuous film
3. requires a min of 50F, if under 50F curing may stop and may not start again.
4. not good for immersion service,
5. should not be top coated with strong solvents .
6. too high tem can cause caoting to dry too quickly on the surface and blister “
Convertible - oxidation (alkyds, drying oils,)
“1. once the solvent evaporates, these coating cure by reaction with o2. the oxidation process never stops as long as the coating is exposed to oxygen.
2. typical single coating
3. environmental concerns - high temp decreases curing time
4. overcoat - application to an alkaline surface can cause adhesion isses (galvanized metal) - SAPONIFICATION (form soap)
5. excessive film build - can prevent oxygen from permeating through the enter film”
Convertible - co reaction cure (vinyl ester, polyester, urethanes, polyureas, polyXXX, epoxies,fluropolymer )
“1. cure by cross-linking at least 2 chemicals (polymerizations)
2. 2 component coating comes in 2 separate containers a base and a hardener or catalyst.
3. pot life
4. mixing ratios - worng mixing ratios
5. mixing the overcoat windows - top coating “
Convertible - fusion ( silicone high temp coatings and bake phenolic coating)
“1. curing a coating film through the additon of heat
2. baking or cooling schedule may be needed
3. temperature - need to follow bake and heat schedule to complete cure.”
Convertible - hydrolysis (inorganic zinc and mositure/single cure polyurethanes)
“1. absorb humidity from surround air to complete the curing process.
2. req min of 40% RH”
Non convertible - solvent evaporation
(vinyl and chlorinated rubber)
Non convertible - coalescence
(latexes or acrylic and water emulsions)
Convertible - oxidation
(alkyds, drying oils,)
Convertible - co reaction cure
(vinyl ester, polyester, urethanes, polyureas, polyXXX, epoxies,fluropolymer )
Convertible - hydrolysis
(inorganic zinc and mositure/single cure polyurethanes)
Convertible - fusion
( silicone high temp coatings and bake phenolic coating)
cure through evap of water combine with the fusing together of resin/binder particles
coaleascence
Cure by cross linking (polymerizzation) at least 2 chemcials
co reaction
Require some amount of moisture vapor in the surrounding air for the coating to cure
hydrolysis
Cure by reaction with atmospheric oxygen once the solvent evaporates
oxidation
