The properties of a paint will be
decided by the binder
• Describes the type of
paint/coating
• Bind pigments and
extenders to a solid film
• Provides the adhesion to the substrate
and cohesion, flexibility in the film
• Provides the water, chemical, solvent
Trang 4Frosio 08 Paints and coatings slide # 7
Modified binders
• A modified paint may
contain more than one
binder, e.g.:
– Coal Tar Epoxy– Vinyl Tar– Epoxy Mastic
• A binder may be modified
chemically by attaching
new groups to their
molecules, e.g.:
– Styrenated Alkyd– Polyurethane-oil Alkyd– Epoxy Ester
DRYING / CURING MECHANISM
• The properties of a paint film is
closely related to how the
binder dries or cures.
• The three most common drying
/ curing mechanisms are:
1 Physically Drying (solvent
evaporation)
2 Oxidatively Curing (reaction with
oxygen in the air)
3 Chemically Curing (chemical reaction
between base and hardener)
Trang 5Frosio 08 Paints and coatings slide # 9
Paint technology: Physical_drying1
Physical drying Waterborne paints
= Dispersed droplets
Water evaporating
Droplets are packing
Droplets melt together, co-solvents evaporate
Trang 6Frosio 08 Paints and coatings slide # 11
Curing (drying) by oxidation
• The solvents
evaporate
• Oxygen enter the
paint and the
network is formed which
give the solid paint film Paint technology: Curing_good1

Insufficient mixing of
two-pack paint
• Proper mixing is a
pre-requisite to obtain proper
curing
• Insufficient mixing makes
it impossible for the
molecules to come in
contact with each other
• A three dimensional
network will not be

Large molecules gives:
a) Good mechanical strength b) Good chemical resistance
Physically drying binders:
Molecules are large before drying starts
Chemically curing binders:
Large molecules are formed during curing
The dry binder consists of large
molecules
Vinyl Chlorinated rubber Epoxy
Polyurethane
Urethane alkyd Alkyd
The surface tolerance depends on the
penetrating properties of the binder

recommended for uneven substrates
• Most paints can be applied
to steel blast cleaned to Sa

• Not all paints possess the
required wetting property
for successful application on
uneven substrates
• Surface tolerant paints give
a longer life time on such
substrates Paint technology / Surface tolerant2

Solvent Test
• Can be used to identify drying
mechanism of unknown old coating
• Expose the old coating to MEK solvent
for 10 – 15 minutes
• Place paper towel / cloth / rags
soaked in the thinner on the coating
to be tested
• Observe how the coating react
Solvent test: Three samples

Solvents &
Diluents
• Dissolve the binder
• Give lower viscosity
• Give application properties for brush, roller, spray
• Once the paint has been applied, there is no more need for the solvent
Solvents / diluents
Trang 16Frosio 08 Paints and coatings slide # 31
Solvents / diluents , examples
Solvent / Diluent / Thinner
• Single or blended
• Disolves the binder
completely (Forms a solution)
• Used to lower the viscosity
• Usually a mixture of solvents and diluents
Thinner
Trang 17Frosio 08 Paints and coatings slide # 33
The paint is supplied
with the correct viscosity
Evaporation rate and solubility
of a thinner will influence a paint’s:
• Drying time
• Film-forming properties
• Quality of the film
Most paints are ready to be applied as
supplied by the manufacturer.
Trang 18Frosio 08 Paints and coatings slide # 35
Addition of wrong type of thinner
• A clear binder is poured
into the beaker
• Wrong type of thinner is
added
• This will change the
properties of the paint
film
• The binder separates
• The binder will no longer
be clear: Difficult to see
through
• The same experiment is
carried out with correct
thinner: Good result Paint technology: Thinner_wrong1
Thinning the paint
Thinning is primarily only
recommended in three
situations:
• Very cold paint (becomes
thick)
• Very warm conditions /
substrate (keep the film open
longer)
• Painting very porous
substrates (tie coat or mist
coat technique)
Trang 19Frosio 08 Paints and coatings slide # 37
Excessive thinning may lead
to entrapped solvents
• One thinned and one
unthinned sample of paint is
applied to a structure
• To achieve the specified DFT
the thinned paint must be
applied to a higher WFT
• After a certain period of time
the unthinned is fully cured
• The solvents has not
evaporated from the thinned
paint
• If put into service the paint
will develop blistering Paint technology/ Thinning entrapped1
Thinning of the paint may
result in lower DFT
• Two samples of the same
paint are applied to a steel
structure.
• The WFT is the same for both
samples
• One of the samples is thinned
• During drying / curing of the
paint the thinners will
evaporate from the wet paint
Trang 20Frosio 08 Paints and coatings slide # 39
Thinning the paint may result in
the requirement of a longer
drying time
• One thinned and one
unthinned sample of paint is
applied to a structure
• To achieve the specified DFT
the thinned paint must be
applied to a higher WFT
• After a certain period of time
the unthinned is fully cured
• The solvents has not
evaporated from the thinned
paint
Paint technology/ Thinning drying1
Volatile / Non-volatile
• A paint’s “ Solid Content ” means the
part which does not evaporate,
commonly quoted as %volume.
• A paint’s “ VOC ” (Volatile Organic
Compound) tells us how many grams
of solvents there are in one litre of
paint.
Trang 21Frosio 08 Paints and coatings slide # 41
100 microns wet film 50 microns dry film 100 microns wet film 80 microns dry film
When applied in the same WFT, the paint with the higher solid
content will result in a higher DFT (and thus need fewer coats
or gives better protection)
Trang 22Frosio 08 Paints and coatings slide # 43
Pigments &
Powders
Colour Pigments
• Natural or synthetic pigments
• Organic or inorganic pigments
• Gives colour to the film
• Hides the substrate (opacity)
• Almost all colours consist of a blend of
pigments
• Individual colours can be changed or
adjusted by altering the pigment blend
Trang 23Frosio 08 Paints and coatings slide # 45
Active / Reactive Pigments
Takes an active role in ensuring that
the paint perform as expected:
» Talc (Talcum powder)
» Chalk (Calcium Carbonate)
» Clay (China Clay)
• Reinforce and give body to the film
• Varying hardness
• White / grey in colour
• Very little influence on colour of

The Gloss of a Paint Depends on the PVC
(Pigment - Volume - Concentration)
Flat PVC 35 - 50
Glossy PVC 15 -25
Barrier pigments
• Flake-shaped pigments
• Tend to align themselves parallel to the substrate
• Reinforce the film
• Increase the barrier effect of the film
• Often made from aluminium, glass, micaceous iron oxide (MIO or mica)
Trang 25Frosio 08 Paints and coatings slide # 49
Why are some paints pigmented with aluminium or glass flakes ?
Water
Paint with glass or
aluminium flakes
Steel
Flake-shaped pigments make it more difficult for moisture
to reach the steel as the distance becomes longer.
Trang 26Frosio 08 Paints and coatings slide # 51
Corrosion protection by paints
• Barrier effect
• Inhibitor effect
• Galvanic effect
For corrosion prevention with paints, three main
principles are employed:
Corrosion protection by paints.
The barrier effect
• When paint is applied to
a structure a barrier is
created between the
substrate material and
the surrounding
environment
• A thick paint film will give
a better barrier than a
thin film
• The barrier effect can be
further improved by
adding flake formed
pigments to the paint.
Paint technology/ Paint barrier effect1
Trang 27Frosio 08 Paints and coatings slide # 53
Corrosion protection by paints.
The inhibition effect
• The inhibition type of paints is
not an inert paint film as the
barrier coatings
• The paints contain chemicals or
inhibitors
• The inhibitors react with moisture
and the steel and forms a passive
layer close to the steel substrate.
• The layer passivates the steel
and thereby reduce the corrosion
rate.
• Examples:
– Red Lead Primer
– Zinc Chromate Primer
– Zinc Phosphate Primer

Corrosion protection by paints.
The cathodic protection effect
• Some paints offer the same
cathodic protection effect as
sacrificial anodes
• The CP type of paints is not
an inert paint film as the
barrier coatings
• The paints contain active,
metallic pigments
• The pigments react with
moisture and the steel and

This is why alkyd paints are not suitable for submerged service
(they adsorb too much in water, leading to swelling of the film)
What is a shopprimer?
Trang 29Frosio 08 Paints and coatings slide # 57
Shopprimers
Definition:
A quick drying material applied as a thin film to a
metal surface after cleaning, e.g by a blast
cleaning process, to give protection during the
period before and during fabrication.
Requirement:
Must not interfere with the speed or quality of
cutting and welding of the steel during fabrication,
so DFT must be limited to:
Iron oxide: 15 – 20 micr.
Trang 30Frosio 08 Paints and coatings slide # 59
Shop primers - history
• Iron oxide PVB
• Iron oxide two pack epoxy
• Zinc epoxy
• 1st generation Zinc silicate
• 2nd generation Zinc silicate
• 3rd generation Zinc silicate
• High temperature Zinc silicate
• Water borne shopprimer
• Water borne Zinc silicate
Shopprimer history
Initially:
• Only temporary protection
• Removed by blast cleaning before painting
Later:
• Improved quality
• Blast cleaning only of welds and damages
Today’s technology
• UHPWJ before painting
Shopprimer may now be a part of
the long term protection paint system

Antifoulings
What is fouling ? (1 of 2)
Fouling is the settlement and growth of marine plants and animals on surfaces (including man-made structures) in the sea
Trang 32Frosio 08 Paints and coatings slide # 63
What is fouling ? (2 of 2)
There are an estimated 4 - 5000
fouling species and these can be
classified into:
Î
Î Microfouling
– generally referred to as slime, a complex viscous
mixture of bacteria and microscopic organisms
Î
Î Macrofouling
– which includes animals and plants
How does fouling happen?
• Free floating or free swimming spores
and larvaes follow the currents, tides
and waves.
• They have the opportunity to contact
suitable surface when the time comes.
• Fouling happens when these larvaes or
spores settle and develop into an adult,
small at first but steadily growing.

Barnacles Hydroids
Trang 34Frosio 08 Paints and coatings slide # 67
Trang 35Frosio 08 Paints and coatings slide # 69
The Purpose of Antifoulings
9 To prevent or reduce growth
9 To provide better fuel economy over the
sailing period
9 To avoid growth penetrating the coating and
thereby extend corrosion protection
The consequences of fouling
On a ship’s hull
Increased fuel consumption
On a marine structure
Increased drag Î Heavier
load on the structure Î
Structural failures
Seawater pipe systems
– Increased corrosion
Trang 36Frosio 08 Paints and coatings slide # 71
Why do ships need
anti-fouling systems?
Fouling leads to an increase in fuel consumption
of up to 40%, due to the increase in drag resistance
A clean ship sails faster and with less energy
Fouling will eventually damage the primer system
The composition of Antifoulings
Trang 37Frosio 08 Paints and coatings slide # 73
Conventional Antifoulings
• Soluble matrix paints
• Rosin as a binder
• Approximately 12 months protection
• Binders dissolves in water and biocide is
released
• Examples: A/F Tropic, A/F Super Tropic etc.
NOTE:
Danger of cracking and flaking
Needs to be quickly immersed in water
Long-life Antifouling
• Insoluble matrix paints
• Only biocides are released
• Effective protection is up to 24
months
• Leaves weak substrate for
subsequent coat (leach layer)
• Sealer coat normally required
• Binder: CR, Vinyl (possible to add

Anti-fouling for Aluminium hulls
Special requirements:
• Must be free from Copper
• Metallic Copper in contact with aluminium will cause bi-metallic corrosion, perforating the hull plates
in very short time
• Must perform at speeds up to 50 knots (e.g for catamarans)
• Preferably self-polishing type (best performance)

Primers
Primers are universal for most anticorrosive coating
systems and are considered the most important
component of the system The most important
properties of primers are listed as follows:
1 Adhesion (strong bonding to substrate).
2 Cohesion (high internal strength in the film).
3 Inertness (strong resistance to corrosion and chemicals).
4 Intercoat bond (high bonding to intermediate coat).
5 Appropriate flexibility.
Intermediate
or Body coats
1 Thickness for total coating.
2 Strong chemical resistance.
3 Resistance to moisture vapour transfer.
4 Increase electrical resistance for the coating
system.
5 Strong cohesion.
6 Strong bonding to primer and topcoat.
The principal purposes of an intermediate coat is to provide:
