Abstract:
A manure, landfill leachate, sewage and/or wastewater treatment plant, treatment equipment or downstream conveying equipment, such as a manure, sewage and/or wastewater treatment plant comprising one or more biological treatment reactors, where said treatment plant or equipment comprises at least one component, wherein the at least one component and/or the at least one or more reactors or a drain of the treatment plant or equipment comprise at least one surface, which is exposed to a sus- pension comprising struvite particulates or colloids or to a supersaturated struvite so- lution, and where said reactor(s), pipes and/or said component is coated with a coat- ing, said coating being applied to at least a part of said surface exposed to the struvite containing suspension or supersaturated solution. The coating is preferably prepared using organosilanes. The coating is applied by a method comprising the steps of (i) preparing a liquid coating composition, (ii) applying said liquid coating composition to at least part of the surface of an article and (iii) curing to form solid coating film on said article. The coating reduces or eliminates formation of struvite deposits on the coated surface arising from a suspension of struvite particles or from a supersaturated struvite com- position.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a cross-linkable coating composition comprising: (i) one or more silanes comprising either of the following two options: - at least three hydrolysable groups or - at least two hydrolysable groups and at least one organofunctional group capable of forming chemical bonds upon curing, and (i.a) the sum of said silanes constitutes at least 20 % of the total mass of the coating compositions combined solids and silanes, and (i.b) said silanes are possibly partly or completely hydrolysed and possibly partly condensed; and (ii) at least one low surface energy additive, wherein (ii.a) said low surface energy additive comprises polydimethylsiloxane chemically bonded to at least one functional group, (ii.b) said functional group is configured for the polydimethylsiloxane moiety to cross-link with said coating composition, (ii.c) said polydimethylsiloxane constitutes 0.01 % to 15 % of the mass of said cured coating, when said coating composition is cured, (ii.d) said polydimethylsiloxane moiety has a molecular weight of more than 1600 g/mol.
Abstract:
A curable coating composition and the use, especially in heat exchangers, for heating and/or cooling water, in particular tap water, is described. The curable coating comprises, based on solids after curing, 35-80% by weight of an epoxysilane according to the general structure 1 and/or its hydrolysation and/or condensation products, 1 : R 1 R 2 a SiR 3 b with R1 being 3-glycidyloxypropyl, R 2 being methyl, R 3 being alkyloxy or acyloxy, a being 0, 1 or 2 and b being 3 -a and 20 - 65% by weight of a blocked polyisocyanate and optionally further components. The coating provides improved corrosion protection on aluminium surfaces, reduces limescale formation on heat exchanger surfaces and is able to withstand lateral and/or temporal temperature gradients when coated on heat exchanging surfaces.
