If you came here from an online forum where folks post questions and answers to questions, you should note there are four kinds of forums. First is the real, proper and honest forum. They work as you would expect them to work. Next are company forums. These are really marketing tools for the sponsoring company. Most posts ask questions that can be addressed by the vendor's own products or post about how good the vendor's products are. Folks with solutions using other vendor's products, or those that have issues with the vendor's product, don't get their messages posted and are usually kicked off the forum for good. Third are 'vulture' forums. These have a few industry sponsors and when unsuspecting posters ask for a solution to a problem the sponsors swoop down and go into selling mode. The final kind of forum are 'dead' forums where the most recent posts are months or even years old. Know which forum type you visit.

1. Epoxy coatings are used because of their outstanding chemical resistance, durability, low porosity and
strong bond strength. Better protective coatings are available but not as common, field applied, brush-on, roll-on,
or trowel-on coatings.

Hi, I train spray painters
in Queensland Australia the technical aspects of
Polyurethane paint. However some people just can’t
get the difference of the two major types. Polyester
vs Acrylic. I would like to use your excellent
discussion paper in my training as an unbiased view
and give credit to author Paul Oman and your
company.

(11/14) Where are Epoxies Used? - click here
2. Epoxies consist of a ‘base' and a ‘curing' agent. The two components are mixed in a certain ratio. A chemical
reaction occurs between the two parts generating heat (exotherm) and hardening the mixture into an inert, hard
‘plastic'.
3. Epoxies yellow, chalk (or more commonly least lose their gloss), in direct sunlight (UV). The yellowing can
be a real problem. For pigmented epoxies select colors that are dark or contain a lot of yellow (such as green).
Even clear epoxies will yellow and cloud up. Often epoxies are top coated with latex or urethanes that will retain
their color and attractive gloss. This is particularly true if color coding or matching company colors is important.
4. After the two epoxy parts are combined there is a working time (pot life) during which the epoxy can be applied
or used. Generally the pot life will be anywhere from minutes to one hour or longer. At the end of the
pot life
the mixture becomes very warm (or even dangerously hot) and quickly begins to harden.
5. Epoxies will harden in minutes or hours, but complete cure (hardening) will generally take several days. Most
epoxies will be suitably hard within a day or so, but may require more time to harden before the coating can be
sanded.
6. In theory, a temperature change of 18 degrees F. will double or half the pot
life and cure time of an epoxy.
Higher temperatures will lower the viscosity (thin) the epoxy, but also reduce the working time a person has to
apply the epoxy. Spreading out the mixed epoxy instead of keeping it concentrated in a bucket or container will
extend the pot life.
7. Generally epoxies become too thick and cure too slowly to be applied at temperatures below 50 or 60 degrees
F. Temperatures in the 60s, 70s, or low 80s, are best. After the epoxy has cured, it can handle temperatures well
below zero degrees F.
8. Epoxies will begin to soften at about 140 degrees F, but will reharden when the temperature is reduced. For
common epoxies this temperature is approximate upper end of working temperature range of epoxies. Special high
temperature epoxies do exist, however.
9. By their nature, epoxies are hard and brittle. Additives can be added to epoxies that make them less brittle,
but generally at the loss or reduction of other positive epoxy properties such as chemical resistance.
10. There are special epoxy formulations that have increased chemical resistance, increased temperature resistance,
the ability to be applied underwater, (also
click here) and enhance resistance to yellowing
and UV damage.
