Inhibitors Incorporated Into Water-Based Epoxy Coatings on Metals for Corrosion Protection: A Review

Abstract

Corrosion and its protection are one of the major challenges that are faced by the industries. To overcome this, new coatings with characteristic properties which are environmentally friendly are introduced. A cost-effective and most reliable way of corrosion protection is via barrier coatings, in which water-based epoxy coatings showed significant corrosion resistance. Although the epoxy coating creates a barrier between the metal and the corroding ions, there is a chance of leakage due to mechanical rupture and the formation of micropores during the curing time of the epoxy. This leads to the incorporation of inhibitors into the epoxy coatings which in turn increase the corrosion resistance. This review discusses the different types of inhibitors that are incorporated into the epoxy coating to prevent corrosion. The use of Nano/micro containers for the encapsulation of the inhibitors leads to the discovery of self-healing smart coatings. Such water-based epoxy smart coatings are also discussed.

Development of Low Smoke Environmental friendly Fire Retardant Intumescent Coatings for GI and Steel Structures

“…Water-based coatings are eco-friendly, chemically less smelling, and less expensive (Gadhave, Mahanwar and Gadekar, 2018). Also, water-epoxy hybrid coatings can be advantageous for fully exposed steel structures that provide corrosion resistance (Jomy, Prabhu and Prabhu, 2022). Although numerous studies on re retardant intumescent coatings have been conducted, very few sample studies were reported as per the British standard test procedures to meet the NBC criteria, which are the essential conditions for industrial development.…”

Self-Oriented Functionalized MXene with Excellent Antioxidant Properties for Enhancing Anticorrosion Properties of Waterborne Epoxy Resin

“…3 To tackle this challenge, twodimensional materials are incorporated into WECs to reduce coating porosity. 4,5 MXene, a novel two-dimensional material, has garnered considerable attention in the field of anticorrosion because of its impermeability and substantial specific surface area. 6−8 Yan et al proposed that epoxy coating containing MXene (Ti 3 C 2 T x ) exhibited enhanced corrosion resistance.…”

“…Nevertheless, WECs may suffer from the formation of defects, such as micropores and microcracks due to the volatilization of water during the curing process, which results in poor anticorrosion properties . To tackle this challenge, two-dimensional materials are incorporated into WECs to reduce coating porosity. , …”
