Corrosion-resistant coatings made by modifying epoxy resin binders with chlorosulfonated polyethylene materials exhibit excellent corrosion protection properties. This material consists of active pigments and anti-rust coatings, and it relies on the chemical reaction between the active pigments and rust to prevent further rust formation. It is a stable rust-primer type, with the film-forming substance being epoxy resin. Epoxy resins possess strong adhesion; this is due to the presence of aliphatic hydroxyl groups, ether groups, and reactive epoxy groups in their structure. The polarity of the hydroxyl and ether groups enables electromagnetic bonding forces to be established between the epoxy resin and adjacent surfaces, resulting in particularly strong adhesive strength. At the same time, epoxy resin can transition from a liquid state to a solid state in a fairly balanced manner (with only slight contraction), allowing it to retain almost all of its original bonds. It has a high adhesion strength to many metals and non-metals (except for non-polar substances such as vinyl plastics). In the cured epoxy resin system, it contains stable benzene rings and ether bonds as well as aliphatic hydroxyl groups, giving it high chemical stability and resistance to dilute acids, bases, and certain solvents. Due to the presence of aliphatic hydroxyl groups in its structure, alkalis have no effect on it; therefore, its resistance to alkalis is greater than that of oil-based paints and alkyd resins. This material is primarily composed of silicone-modified epoxy resin, polyurethane oleic acid adducts, chlorosulfonated polyethylene resin, and high-quality coating additives. The material offers superior gloss retention, aging resistance, and especially corrosion resistance compared to ordinary oil-based paints and chlorosulfonated polyethylene coatings. The EPH topcoat is primarily made by adding a certain amount of epoxy resin to chlorosulfonated polyethylene resin, thereby synthesizing a rubber with active functional groups. Under the action of such film-forming substances, the properties of the resulting coating change significantly. The macromolecules of epoxy resin have an epoxide group at each end, which can undergo intramolecular cross-linking with the chlorosulfonyl groups of the polychlorosulfonated polyethylene macromolecules, thereby enabling the polymer to form a three-dimensional structure. In this way, a composite curing agent and various functional active additives are added at room temperature and applied to the surface of an object, where they undergo a chemical reaction to form a networked polymer structural material that cures at room temperature. Its structure contains both resin segments and rubber segments, and the cured paint film lies between resin and rubber. The strength and adhesion of this material are much higher than those of ordinary anti-corrosion coatings.
