Today, acrylic organic coatings are very important point for glass materials because glass has very huge area in the industry. Glass may physically be defined as a rigid. In chemically, the non-volatile inorganic oxides form from the decomposition of alkali and alkaline compounds, sand, and other glass constituents. Especially, human being uses the glass as decorative object, bottles, eye glasses, windows, and kitchen utensils in daily life. Colemanite is a borate mineral and a secondary mineral that forms by alteration of borax and ulexite. Zeolites are microporous, aluminosilicate minerals. It is commonly used as commercial adsorbents and catalysts. In this study, the acrylic organic coatings were tried to improve physical and chemical properties of glasses with using colemanite and zeolite. In addition, Taguchi Method was used to optimize the parameters for obtaining high quality and low-cost materials. The analysis results (TG-DTA, SEM) showed that the compositions of the all experiments were protected in terms of thermal properties with additives and physical appearances of the samples matched with reference sample. To conclude, additives are improved the properties of organic coatings and the results showed that the coatings produced could be evaluated in the industry.
Nowadays, glass coatings have a wide range in the industry and have been an important research topic. It is preferred to use glass as a decorative object especially in daily life. In this study, decorative glass coating was tried to be developed with the use of ulexite. The ulexite mineral is a mineral consisting of white round crystalline masses. Test results (visual, hydrophobicity, adhesion tests, etc.) showed that the use of ulexite with additives (potassium dichromate and surfactant) positively affects the coating properties in decorative glass coating production. In the experimental study, Taguchi Method was used as an optimization method and the results were analyzed to improve cost and quality to determine the optimum process parameters. TG-DTA (Thermal Gravimetric Differential Thermal Analysis) and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) methods were used to characterize the thermal properties and physical morphological properties of the coatings prepared, respectively. It was observed that the additives added in the coatings prepared did not have a negative effect on the structure of the coating. As a result, the additives used improved the properties of glass coatings and the results showed that additive coatings prepared in various industries can be evaluated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
