Topcoat Trouble: Thin Urethane Films Lead to Epoxy Failure

View Full Paper
GHGlenn D. Hauser

Key Points

  • This research aims to determine the impact of insufficient urethane film thickness on the delamination of epoxy coatings.
  • Evaluated the thickness of urethane films applied to a municipal water tank
  • Assessed the occurrences of delamination in the epoxy layer beneath the urethane film
  • Identified a significant correlation between thin urethane films and increased delamination rates in epoxy coatings.

Abstract

Insufficient film thickness is suspected to have caused coatings delamination on a municipal water tank.
