Coatings Flashcards
Is there a chemical change to the resins in a non-convertible coating?
No
How do you determine the WFT through math?
DFT divided by %solids= WFT
What is polymerization?
When 2 chemicals react to make a coating film.
Most coatings are named due to their what?
Their resin.
Which coating has excellent resistance to sulfuric acid?
Phenolic coatings
Should rubber be overcoated by convertible coatings?
Nope!
Should a convertible coating go on top of a solvent-effected coating?
Nope!
What is a common failure in VINYL coatings?
Solvent blistering
Do ACRYLIC coatings have a good resistance to UV?
Yes
What is a common failure for ACRYLIC coatings?
Incomplete cure
Do BITUMINOUS coatings have good UV resistance?
No
Which coating type commonly fails due to applying it too quickly?
ALKYDS
Which coatings should only be used as a primer?
Zinc coatings
What is the most common failure for POLYESTER and VINYLESTER coatings?
Incomplete/failure to cure
Moisture-cured URETHANE is prone to what type of failure?
Incomplete cure because of LOW HUMIDITY
Silicone coatings are often coated over what?… but not always.
INORGANIC ZINC
INORGANIC ZINCs are usually applied at what mils?
.75 mils
ALKYDS react with what to cure?
Oxygen
How do EPOXYESTER coatings cure?
Oxidation
Most marine coatings are ORGANIC or INORGANIC?
