Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of corrosion protection technology, and more specifically, to a corrosion protection coating process for desulfurization towers and flues. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, desulfurization towers and flues, as core equipment of desulfurization systems, are exposed to highly corrosive media such as sulfur-containing flue gas and spray slurries (e.g., limestone-gypsum slurry) for extended periods. They also face the effects of temperature fluctuations and airflow erosion, making their substrate (steel or concrete) highly susceptible to corrosion damage. Industry statistics show that desulfurization towers without effective corrosion protection measures have an average service life of only 3-5 years, and the equipment repair and downtime losses caused by corrosion failure result in substantial economic costs for enterprises annually.

[0003] Existing anti-corrosion technologies for desulfurization towers and flues mainly include rubber lining, glass flake mortar, and FRP (fiber reinforced plastic) anti-corrosion. While rubber lining offers good initial protection, it suffers from temperature sensitivity during application (requiring control between 15-30℃) and the mortar layer's tendency to detach due to substrate deformation. Traditional glass flake mortar anti-corrosion processes have several drawbacks: First, substrate acceptance standards are vague; for example, steel substrate welds are only visually inspected, failing to detect internal defects, and the threshold for treating honeycomb pitting on concrete substrates is unclear, easily leaving potential corrosion risks. Second, sandblasting parameters are not strictly controlled; mixed abrasive particle sizes and excessive moisture content result in insufficient surface roughness of the steel substrate (often below RZ50μm), making it difficult to achieve a rust removal grade of Sa2.5, thus affecting the coating. Thirdly, the primer formulation is poorly adapted to the construction environment. In low-temperature environments, the primer viscosity increases sharply, making it prone to sagging and missed areas after application. Furthermore, the content of anti-rust pigments is insufficient (often below 15%), failing to form an effective anti-rust barrier. Fourthly, the material ratios and construction parameters of various coatings, such as glass flake putty, FRP reinforcement layer, and wear-resistant layer, are not standardized. For example, the warp and weft density of fiberglass cloth is too low (often 3×3 threads / cm), and the content of corundum in the wear-resistant layer is insufficient (below 30%), resulting in insufficient structural strength and wear resistance of the coating. Fifthly, the final inspection only focuses on leaks, neglecting the coating thickness and adhesion testing, making it impossible to comprehensively evaluate the anti-corrosion effect.

[0004] Furthermore, existing processes lack sufficient precision in controlling the construction environment. When the temperature is below 5℃ or the relative humidity is above 85%, forced construction leads to poor coating curing, resulting in cracking, blistering, and other problems. To address these shortcomings of existing technologies, there is an urgent need for a desulfurization tower and flue gas duct anti-corrosion coating process that features rigorous process steps, precise parameter control, adaptability to different substrates, comprehensive testing, and suitability for a wide range of environments. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to overcome the defects in the existing anti-corrosion coating processes for desulfurization towers and flue ducts, such as incomplete acceptance of the base body, non-standard sandblasting treatment, unreasonable coating ratio, poor adaptability to the construction environment, and incomplete detection. The present invention provides an anti-corrosion coating process for desulfurization towers and flue ducts that can achieve differential and precise treatment for steel base bodies and concrete base bodies, ensure long-term stable anti-corrosion effects through multi-step parametric control and the synergistic effect of multi-level coatings, and has strong construction controllability and a wide adaptation range.

[0006] Technical solution To achieve the above-mentioned invention object, the present invention provides an anti-corrosion coating process for desulfurization towers and flue ducts, and the specific technical solution is as follows: An anti-corrosion coating process for desulfurization towers and flue ducts includes the following steps: S1: Base body acceptance: Conduct a comprehensive inspection on the steel base body or concrete base body of the desulfurization tower and flue duct. Among them, for the steel base body, it is required that the welds are continuous without interruption, all edges and corners are chamfered with an arc transition of R≥4.5mm, the welding slag, welding spatter, etc. are removed cleanly, and the welds have no defects such as pores, cracks, and undercut and are polished smoothly; for the concrete base body, it is required that there are no through cracks, no holes with a size greater than 10mm (length or width) and a depth greater than 5mm, sporadic honeycombing and pitting are allowed, all construction joints, pouring joints, and formwork joints are polished flat without inclusions, and the edges and corners are chamfered with an arc transition of R≥6.0mm.

[0007] S2: Surface purification treatment: Use compressed air (pressure 0.4 - 0.6MPa) to blow the floating ash and sand grains on the surface of the base body. For the parts with attached oil stains, use styrene (purity≥99.5%) to wipe and clean, ensuring that there are no oil stains, floating dust, sand grains and other pollutants on the surface of the base body; at the same time, blow the floating ash and sand on the surface of the scaffolding used in the construction clean with compressed air as well, to avoid pollutants falling onto the surface of the base body during the construction process.

[0008] S3: Sandblasting treatment: For the steel base body, select quartz sand or copper slag with a particle size of 0.5 - 2.0mm, dry and angular as the abrasive; the compressed air needs to be treated by a three-stage oil-water separator to ensure cleanliness and dryness (water content≤0.1%), and the driving pressure is controlled at 0.5 - 0.7MPa. The sandblasting operation follows the order of "starting from the difficult parts, from top to bottom, from the edges to the middle, from the outside to the inside", and the running direction of the spray gun is parallel to the surface of the workpiece. After sandblasting, the surface roughness of the steel base body needs to reach RZ≥60μm, and the sandblasting rust removal grade is not less than Sa2.5 level; if visible rust spots appear on the steel base body before the bottom coating or the rust removal grade < Sa2.5 level, secondary sandblasting needs to be carried out, and after being detected and confirmed to meet the requirements, the subsequent construction can be carried out.

[0009] S4: Primer Application: After sandblasting, the steel surface must be coated with one coat of primer using a brush or roller within 4 hours (to prevent rust re-entry). During application, the coating condition must be checked regularly. Any drips (length exceeding 50mm) or missed areas (area exceeding 5cm²) should be addressed immediately. 2 For any issues such as unevenness, immediately smooth the surface with a roller or brush or apply additional coating. Simultaneously, use a wet film thickness gauge (accuracy ±2μm) to test the wet film thickness in real time, ensuring it is not less than 60μm. For areas with a thickness less than 60μm, promptly apply additional coating until it meets the requirements. The primer material should be prepared according to the weight ratio of "paint:initiator:accelerator = 100:1.5:0.8", or adjusted according to climatic conditions (e.g., in low-temperature environments, the accelerator ratio can be appropriately increased to 1.0%). During preparation, a professional mixing operator should operate the mixing process. First, use a mixer (300-500r / min) to stir the primer for 5-8 minutes until uniform. Then add the initiator and stir for 1 minute, and finally add the accelerator and stir for 1 minute (total stirring time 1-2 minutes). Record the batch number and amount of material used (accurate to 0.1kg).

[0010] S5: Drying: After the primer is applied, allow it to dry. The drying environment should meet the following requirements: temperature 5-43℃, relative humidity ≤85%. The drying time should be adjusted according to the temperature: 4-6 hours at 25-35℃; 8-10 hours at 15-25℃; 12-16 hours at 5-15℃, to ensure that the primer is completely cured (no stickiness to the touch).

[0011] S6: Applying Glass Flake Adhesive: After the primer dries, apply the first coat of glass flake adhesive using a special trowel, with a thickness controlled at 0.8-1.0mm. After the first coat dries (24 hours at 25℃), check for defects such as bubbles, hollow areas, and missed areas. Repair any defects (e.g., bubbles need to be broken and filled with adhesive) until acceptable, then apply the second coat of glass flake adhesive, also with a thickness of 0.8-1.0mm. After the second coat dries, check and repair again. In addition, before applying the base lining, a styrene sensitivity test must be performed on the substrate (primer surface): Cover the substrate surface with cotton wool soaked in styrene, let it stand for 1 hour, and observe. If the substrate shows no softening or wrinkling, the test is passed; if it fails, sandblasting and primer application must be repeated until the test is passed. At the same time, check the curing status of the base layer (no marks when scratched with a fingernail), damage (if the scratch depth exceeds 0.2mm, the base coat needs to be reapplied) and missed areas. After repairing to the acceptable level, remove the dust and impurities from the surface of the base layer, wipe it clean with styrene, and then carry out the base lining construction.

[0012] S7: FRP reinforcement layer construction: Based on the coating structure requirements, there are two construction methods: For FRP-reinforced coating structures: After the second layer of glass flake putty has been inspected, repaired, and dried, first apply a layer of resin (the same resin used for the glass flake putty) to the putty surface, with a thickness of 0.2-0.3mm. Then, lay the fiberglass cloth flat on the resin layer and press it firmly along the warp and weft directions with a scraper to ensure that the fiberglass cloth is fully impregnated with the resin (no white threads) and no air bubbles are generated. After the resin has cured and dried (12 hours at 25℃), repeat the above steps to apply the second layer of resin-lined fiberglass cloth and dry it again.

[0013] For the wear-resistant glass flake coating structure: After the second layer of glass flake putty has been inspected, repaired, and dried, first apply a layer of resin (0.2-0.3mm thick), spread the fiberglass cloth, compact it, and let it dry (dry for 12 hours at 25℃); then apply a layer of wear-resistant coating with a thickness of 0.5-0.8mm by spraying, let it dry (dry for 24 hours at 25℃), then repeat the resin-lined fiberglass cloth construction (one layer), and after drying, apply a second layer of wear-resistant coating with the same thickness of 0.5-0.8mm, and finally dry it (dry for 24 hours at 25℃).

[0014] S8: Topcoat Application: After step S7 is completed and the coating is completely dry, apply the topcoat. Select a suitable topcoat paint according to the corrosion protection requirements, and apply it by spraying or brushing to ensure uniform coverage without defects such as runs, pinholes, or missed areas. After application, allow it to dry and cure under specified conditions.

[0015] S9: Final Inspection and Acceptance: After the topcoat is dried, use an electric spark leak detector (accuracy ±1V) to detect leaks. The leak detection voltage is calculated at 5V / μm (if the topcoat thickness is 40μm, the leak detection voltage is 200V). Move the probe along the coating surface at a speed of 50-100mm / s to ensure there are no leaks (no sparks generated).

[0016] S10: Construction Environment Control: Throughout the construction process, the climate conditions of the work area must be monitored in real time to ensure that the temperature is maintained between 5-43℃ (using a digital thermometer with an accuracy of ±0.5℃, recorded every 2 hours), the relative humidity is ≤85% (using a digital hygrometer with an accuracy of ±2%, recorded every 2 hours), and the substrate surface temperature is more than 3℃ higher than the dew point (using a dew point meter to measure the dew point temperature, comparing the substrate surface temperature with the dew point temperature every 2 hours). If the environmental conditions exceed the range, construction must be suspended, and adjustment measures (such as using a hot air blower for heating and a dehumidifier for dehumidification) must be taken until the requirements are met before construction can continue.

[0017] Furthermore, during the basic acceptance test in step S1, the inspection scope covers all welds to ensure that there are no defects such as porosity, cracks, or slag inclusions inside the welds (defect equivalent ≤ φ2mm); for the honeycomb pitted surface of the concrete substrate, a ruler (accuracy 1mm) and a depth gauge (accuracy 0.1mm) are used for measurement. If the area of ​​a single honeycomb pitted surface is greater than 0.01m², the inspection is considered complete. 2 (e.g., 100mm×100mm) Repair treatment is required first: use an angle grinder to grind the perimeter of the honeycomb surface to a solid base, remove dust, apply an interface agent (epoxy resin: hardener = 5:1), and after the interface agent is surface dry, fill the honeycomb surface with epoxy mortar (epoxy resin: quartz sand: hardener = 1:2:0.2), compact and smooth it, and then inspect it after curing for 72 hours.

[0018] Furthermore, the quartz sand or copper slag abrasive used in step S3 sandblasting must be screened through a 2.5mm mesh screen before use to remove particles larger than 2.5mm in diameter (sampling inspection is required after screening, with a particle pass rate ≥99%). Simultaneously, a Karl Fischer moisture analyzer (accuracy ±0.01%) is used to test the abrasive's moisture content, ensuring it does not exceed 0.5% (if the moisture content exceeds this limit, it must be dried in an oven at 80-100℃ for 2-4 hours and cooled before use). During sandblasting, the distance between the spray gun and the workpiece surface is controlled within 100-300mm using a measuring tape (e.g., 200mm for flat surfaces, 150mm for corners), and the spray angle is controlled between 30°-75° using an angle gauge (e.g., 45° for flat surfaces, 60° for welds). This avoids damage to the substrate due to excessively close distance and incomplete rust removal due to excessively small angle.

[0019] Furthermore, the primer used in step S4 is an epoxy primer, which contains anti-rust pigments (such as zinc chromate yellow). The content of the anti-rust pigments accounts for 20%-30% of the total mass of the primer (determined by gravimetric method: weigh 10g of primer, ignite to constant weight, and calculate the mass percentage of the residue). If the ambient temperature is below 10℃ during primer application, the primer needs to be heat-treated: place the primer bucket in a constant temperature water bath at 30-50℃ (water temperature fluctuation ±2℃), heat for 30-60 minutes, and stir every 10 minutes to ensure uniform primer temperature. After heating, use a viscometer to test the primer viscosity and control it at 500-800mPa・s to ensure the primer's flowability during application and avoid stringing or clumping during brushing.

[0020] Further, in step S6, the preparation ratio of the glass flake putty is a weight ratio of "resin:glass flakes:filler = 100:30-50:20-40" (e.g., 100kg resin, 40kg glass flakes, 30kg filler); wherein, alkali-free glass flakes are selected, with a thickness of 2-5μm (measured using a laser thickness gauge, with 10 sampling points and an average thickness deviation of ±0.5μm), and a diameter-to-thickness ratio of 50-100 (diameter-to-thickness ratio = flake diameter / thickness, with the diameter measured by microscopic observation, taking 10...). The average value of each scale); when troweling the glass flake putty, use a special rubber trowel (150-200mm wide), and control the troweling speed at 0.5-1m / min (timed by a stopwatch, measuring the length troweled within 1 minute). During the troweling process, it is necessary to advance in the same direction to avoid repeated troweling that may cause air bubbles. After troweling, use a strong flashlight to check to ensure that the putty evenly covers the substrate surface and there are no defects such as air bubbles (air bubbles with a diameter ≥1mm need to be broken and filled) or hollow areas (no hollow sound when tapped).

[0021] Furthermore, the fiberglass cloth used in step S7 is alkali-free fiberglass cloth with a warp and weft density of 4×4 threads / cm (observed under a microscope, counting the number of warp and weft yarns within a 1cm×1cm area, with a deviation of ≤1 thread), and a thickness of 0.2-0.3mm (measured with a thickness gauge, sampling 10 points, with an average thickness deviation of ±0.02mm). During the resin-lined fiberglass cloth construction, a layer of resin is first applied to the surface of the glass flake putty, with the application amount controlled at 200-300g / m². 2 (Calculated by weighing method: Weigh the resin bucket before coating, and coat 1m) 2 Weigh it again; the difference is the amount of coating applied. When spreading the fiberglass cloth, ensure that the overlap width between adjacent fiberglass cloths is 50-80mm to avoid gaps. When compacting the fiberglass cloth with a scraper, apply even pressure (5-10N) from the overlap to the edge to ensure that the fiberglass cloth and resin are fully impregnated and free of air bubbles (if air bubbles appear, they need to be punctured with a needle tip and then compacted).

[0022] Furthermore, in step S7, the wear-resistant layer uses a mixture of epoxy resin and corundum. The corundum is selected from brown corundum with a particle size of 0.1-0.3mm (sieved through a standard sieve, with residue ≤5%), and its content accounts for 40%-60% of the total mass of the wear-resistant layer (prepared by weight method: e.g., 100kg epoxy resin, 50kg corundum, mixed evenly). The wear-resistant layer is applied using air spraying, with a spray gun nozzle diameter of 1.5-2.0mm, a spraying pressure of 0.3-0.5MPa, and a spray thickness controlled at 0.5-1mm per coat (monitored in real-time using a wet film thickness gauge). After each coat is applied, it must be dried for at least 24 hours at a temperature of 25℃ and a relative humidity ≤85% (drying time can be adjusted according to temperature: for every 5℃ decrease in temperature, the drying time is extended by 4 hours) to ensure complete curing of the wear-resistant layer before proceeding to the next coat.

[0023] Furthermore, in step S8, the coating used for the topcoat is a fluorocarbon coating, which has excellent corrosion resistance. The topcoat is applied using a high-pressure airless spraying method, with a spray gun nozzle diameter of 0.8-1.2 mm, a spraying pressure of 15-20 MPa, and a coating thickness controlled at 30-50 μm (measured by a dry film thickness gauge, per 1 m). 2 Three testing points were used, with an average thickness deviation of ±3μm. During the spraying process, the spray gun movement speed needed to be controlled at 300-500mm / s, and the spraying distance at 200-300mm to ensure a uniform and smooth coating (surface roughness Ra≤2μm, measured by a roughness tester), free of sagging (sagging length≤10mm) and pinholes (number of pinholes with a diameter ≥0.5mm ≤1 / m). 2 Defects such as ) should be eliminated; after spraying, the coating should be dried for more than 7 days in a standard environment with a temperature of 25℃ and a relative humidity of 60% (if the temperature is higher than 25℃, the drying time can be shortened: for every 5℃ increase in temperature, the drying time should be shortened by 1 day, but not less than 5 days) to ensure that the coating is completely cured (the actual drying time can be judged by the finger touch method, and there should be no marks).

[0024] Furthermore, step S9, the final inspection, includes not only spark leak detection but also coating thickness and adhesion testing. The coating thickness is measured using a magnetic thickness gauge, with testing points spaced every 10m. 2 Detect 1 point (less than 10m) 2 At least one point in the area must be tested to ensure the total coating thickness meets design requirements (e.g., total thickness of FRP reinforced coating structure ≥ 3.0 mm, total thickness of wear-resistant coating structure ≥ 3.5 mm); adhesion testing uses the pull-off method, selecting a standard test column with a diameter of 50 mm. The adhesive between the test column and the coating surface is epoxy adhesive (curing time 24 hours). During testing, the tensile testing machine loading speed is 10 mm / min, and the adhesion is required to be no less than 5 MPa (per 100 m). 2 Detection point 1, less than 100m 2(1 point to be tested); For areas that fail the test (such as insufficient thickness or adhesion <5MPa), repairs are required: if the thickness is insufficient, apply the corresponding coating (if the primer is insufficient, apply the primer; if the putty is insufficient, apply the putty); if the adhesion is unqualified, the coating in that area must be removed (the removal range extends 50mm beyond the unqualified area), and the process steps must be repeated. After repair, the test must be repeated until it is qualified.

[0025] Beneficial effects Precise substrate acceptance: Differentiated acceptance standards are developed for steel and concrete substrates. By combining non-destructive testing and honeycomb surface repair, corrosion risks are eliminated at the source, ensuring that the surface condition of the substrate meets the requirements for subsequent coating construction and improving the bonding stability between the coating and the substrate.

[0026] Standardized sandblasting process: By screening abrasives, controlling moisture content, and precisely setting spray gun parameters (distance, angle), the surface roughness and rust removal level of the steel substrate are ensured to meet the standards, providing a good adhesion base for the primer and avoiding coating peeling due to incomplete sandblasting.

[0027] Improved coating ratio and construction compatibility: The primer uses epoxy primer and optimizes the content of anti-rust pigments. The viscosity is adjusted by heating at low temperature to ensure construction performance. The material ratio and construction parameters of glass flake putty, FRP reinforcement layer, wear-resistant layer and top layer are standardized. The synergistic effect of each coating significantly improves the overall anti-corrosion performance and structural strength.

[0028] Highly controllable construction environment: Real-time monitoring of temperature, relative humidity, and temperature difference between the substrate surface and dew point ensures that the construction environment meets the requirements and avoids defects such as poor coating curing and cracking caused by environmental factors.

[0029] Comprehensive testing guarantee: Covering multiple dimensions such as leaks, thickness, and adhesion, timely detection and repair of substandard parts, ensuring the overall quality of the anti-corrosion coating meets standards, and extending the service life of desulfurization towers and flues. Detailed Implementation

[0030] The following detailed description of the anti-corrosion coating process for desulfurization towers and flues of the present invention, with reference to specific embodiments, is provided. Each embodiment meets the requirements of the Patent Law that the process be "clear, complete, and capable of being implemented by a person skilled in the art".

[0031] Example 1 Construction steps S1, Basic Experience Collection Steel substrate inspection: Visual inspection combined with touch test is used to confirm that the weld is continuous and uninterrupted. The radius of the rounded edges and corners is measured with a radius gauge and is ≥4.5mm (5mm for the rounded corners of the tower flange). Welding flux, slag, and spatter are removed with a wire brush, and the weld is then ground smooth with an angle grinder. The weld is checked for defects such as porosity, cracks, and undercut (no obvious defects are visible).

[0032] Concrete substrate inspection: Visual inspection confirmed the absence of penetrating cracks; holes were measured using a ruler and depth gauge, with the largest hole size being 8mm (length) × 7mm (width) × 4mm (depth), less than 10mm × 10mm × 5mm, meeting the requirements; honeycomb pitting was sporadic (the largest single area was 50mm × 60mm = 0.003m²). 2 Construction joints, pouring joints, and formwork joints should be ground smooth with an angle grinder to remove any impurities. The radius of the rounded edges and corners should be measured with a radius gauge and should be ≥6.0mm (e.g., the radius of the rounded corners of the flue should be 6.5mm).

[0033] S2, Surface Cleaning Treatment Compressed air (treated with oil-water separation) at a pressure of 0.5 MPa was used to blow away loose dust and sand particles from the steel and concrete substrates using a spray gun. The blowing sequence was: top of the tower first, then bottom; inside the flue first, then outside. For locally adhered oil stains on the steel substrate (approximately 2 m²), [further details needed]. 2 Wipe the surface of the scaffolding (bamboo scaffolding, size 2m×0.3m) with degreased cotton soaked in styrene (99.8% purity) three times, until there are no oil stains when wiped with white gauze; the surface dust and sand of the scaffolding (bamboo scaffolding, size 2m×0.3m) should also be blown clean with compressed air, and the blowing time for each scaffolding should not be less than 1 minute.

[0034] S3, Sandblasting treatment (steel substrate only) Abrasive selection: Quartz sand, particle size 0.5-2.0mm, moisture content 0.3%.

[0035] Compressed air: processed by a three-stage oil-water separator, pressure 0.6MPa, water content 0.08%, oil content 0.01mg / m³ 3 .

[0036] Sandblasting operation: First treat the internal support components of the tower, then treat the tower wall plane, start with the top 10m of the tower, then work downwards, start with the flange corners of the tower, then the middle of the tower wall, start with the outer wall of the tower, then the inner wall; the spray gun runs parallel to the surface of the steel substrate, and the spray gun model is QZ-1.

[0037] Quality Inspection: After sandblasting, the surface roughness was measured using a surface roughness meter, with a total of 20 points tested. The average value RZ = 68μm ≥ 60μm. The rust removal grade was assessed according to GB / T8923.1-2011 "Visual assessment of surface cleanliness of steel surfaces before coating - Part 1: Rust grades and treatment grades of uncoated steel surfaces and steel surfaces after complete removal of the original coating", which was Sa2.5 (no visible grease, dirt, scale, rust, paint coating, or other adhering substances on the steel surface; any residual traces should only be slight spots or streaks). Before the base coat was applied (3 hours apart), no visible rust spots were found, and secondary sandblasting was not required.

[0038] S4. Primer application (steel substrate only) Primer material: epoxy primer, initiator is methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, accelerator is cobalt isooctanoate, prepared in a weight ratio of 100:1.5:0.8; operated by a professional batching operator, first use a mixer (400 r / min) to stir the primer for 6 minutes until uniform, add the initiator and stir for 1 minute, then add the accelerator and stir for 1 minute, for a total stirring time of 2 minutes, record the primer batch number, and the amount used is 50 kg.

[0039] Application method: brushing, with the application sequence consistent with the sandblasting sequence; during application, apply every 10m... 2 Upon inspection, two drips (approximately 30mm in length) were found and smoothed out with a brush. One missed area (approximately 3cm in area) was also discovered. 2 Apply the coating until it is uniform; use a wet film thickness gauge (accuracy ±2μm) to measure, a total of 30 points were tested, the minimum wet film thickness was 62μm≥60μm, which meets the requirements.

[0040] S5, Drying Drying environment: temperature 28℃, relative humidity 65% ​​(record every 2 hours with a digital temperature and humidity meter); drying time: let stand and dry for 5 hours, and the surface of the primer should feel non-sticky to confirm complete curing.

[0041] S6: Glass flake putty scraper Both steel and concrete substrates require construction: the glass flake putty uses vinyl ester resin putty (model 901), and the trowel is made of rubber with a width of 180mm.

[0042] First troweling: thickness controlled at 0.9mm, troweling speed 0.8m / min (stopwatch timing, 0.8m troweling per minute); drying time 24 hours (temperature 28℃).

[0043] Inspection and Repair: Using a strong flashlight, three air bubbles (approximately 2mm in diameter) were found on the steel substrate. After being broken, they were filled with putty and compacted. One hollow area (approximately 5cm²) was found on the concrete substrate. 2Remove the old parts and scrape them again; allow them to dry for 12 hours after repair.

[0044] Second troweling: thickness 0.9mm, troweling speed 0.8m / min; after drying for 24 hours, a second inspection showed no defects.

[0045] Styrene sensitivity test: Select 5 test points on both steel and concrete substrates, cover them with cotton wool soaked in styrene for 1 hour, and observe whether the bottom layer softens or wrinkles.
