Abstract

The water-based epoxy fire retardant coating is formed by reaction curing, which not only has good anti-corrosion performance, but also has environmental protection and flame retardant performance, which is suitable for construction machinery painting or steel structure buildings. However, the curing and cross-linking process of water-based epoxy coatings is centered on the curing agent, which gradually diffuses into the epoxy resin particles. The curing agent molecules first contact the surface of the epoxy resin dispersed phase particles and undergo a cross-linking curing reaction. As the reaction progresses, the relative molecular weight and glass transition temperature of the epoxy resin on the particle surface gradually increase, so that the diffusion rate of the curing agent molecules into the particles gradually slows down, which means that the curing reaction inside the epoxy resin dispersed phase particles Less than its surface, resulting in a low internal crosslink density, and ultimately not all epoxy groups have the opportunity to interact with the activating groups of the curing agent. Therefore, this paper studies different proportions of waterborne epoxy emulsion and curing agent. The results show that when m (epoxy emulsion): m (curing agent) = 7:3, the fire resistance and comprehensive performance of the coating are the best.
