"Highly Filled Bio-Protective Epoxy Composites and Coatings, Air-Cured and Water-Cured: Comparison of Performance Properties"

Abstract

A technology for obtaining epoxy composites and underwater curing coatings based on ordinary publicly available components is presented. It is shown that underwater curing composites have 2-3 times lower physical and mechanical parameters than their counterparts of normal (in air) curing. Filling epoxies with water-curing dispersions (gypsum, cement) makes it possible to enhance the strength and durability of underwater curing composites. In terms of their properties, the obtained composites turned out to be more effective than commercial analogs of comparison.made epoxy (ТМ EDMOK, Ukrainian prod. -Composition 5) and non-
