Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of anticorrosion repair, in particular to an anticorrosion repair process based on underwater sealant coating and winding method. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of marine engineering, water conservancy facilities and other fields, underwater structures are long-term affected by harsh environmental factors such as seawater erosion, marine organism attachment and water flow scouring, which are prone to corrosion, damage and other problems. This not only reduces the safety and service life of the structure, but also may cause serious economic losses and safety hazards.

[0003] At present, the traditional underwater anticorrosion repair technology has many defects. In terms of underwater structure surface cleaning, the commonly used method is difficult to completely remove rust and attached marine organisms, resulting in insufficient adhesion between the subsequent repair material and the structure surface, affecting the repair effect, while in terms of repair material, many existing underwater sealants have poor performance. Some sealants have slow curing speed, long construction period, which increases the engineering cost and time cost; some sealants have poor corrosion resistance and aging resistance, and cannot effectively resist the erosion of seawater and other harsh environments for a long time, resulting in corrosion problems of the repaired structure again in a short period. At the same time, the existing sealants have poor anti-attachment effect on marine organisms, which cannot prevent marine organisms from growing on the surface of the repaired structure, further accelerating the corrosion of the structure. In addition, the existing underwater sealants mostly do not have good conductivity and antibacterial properties, which cannot meet the functional requirements of some special projects. The present application aims to solve the above problems and provides an anticorrosion repair process based on underwater sealant coating and winding method and underwater sealant, which effectively solves the problem of underwater structure anticorrosion repair and improves the durability and safety of the repaired structure through innovative material formula and advanced construction process.
