Effect of Carbon-Containing Conducting Fillers on the Properties of Epoxy Coatings

  • Published:
Materials Science Aims and scope

Abstract

We have established that antistatic coatings based on EP-0010 putty and graphite have low adhesion to metal and breaking strength but are resistant to the action of an operating environment. The use of carbon black as a conducting additive increases 1.5–3 times the strength of free films obtained on the basis of the given epoxy composition as compared with graphite and decreases their mass losses in an operating environment. The adhesion of epoxy coatings based on the EP-0010 composition modified by carbon black is 2–2.5 times as great as that of coatings with a graphite filler. The use of a plasticizer based on epoxidated vegetable oil instead of an inert phthalate plasticizer in a carbon-containing epoxy composition is promising and, in the case of optimal content of the components, enables one to enhance significantly the physicomechanical characteristics of antistatic epoxy coatings and their resistance to the action of the operating environment.
