Solution Overview

Problem

Typical epoxy coating compositions have excellent acid resistance but poor workability due to their thick-film design, making it difficult to apply thin films and perform easy repairs.

Innovation Solution

An epoxy coating composition comprising an epoxy resin and two types of extender pigments with different particle diameters, combined with an amine resin for curing, which allows for thin-film coating and improved workability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a thick-film epoxy coating composition is used, then acid resistance is improved, but workability deteriorates and thin-film coating becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveacid resistanceVSAvoidworkability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the chemical composition parameters of the epoxy coating by incorporating specific ratios of novolac epoxy resin (10-40 parts), bisphenol A epoxy resin (30-60 parts), and modified silicone resin (5-20 parts), along with controlled amounts of inorganic fillers and solvents. These parameter changes enable the coating to achieve both thick-film durability and thin-film applicability, resolving the contradiction between acid resistance and workability

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The patent adjusts the viscosity and composition parameters of the epoxy coating by controlling the solvent content (5-30 parts) and the balance between different resin types. These parameter modifications ensure that the coating maintains its acid-resistant properties while becoming sufficiently fluid for easy repair applications, allowing recoating within appropriate time windows
