S&T Project 21019 Final Report: Investigating Newly Formulated Polysiloxane Coating Systems with Improved Erosion and Impact Properties

Bureau of Reclamation and Army Corp of Engineers are investigating materials to provide a replacement for vinyl coatings. Previous research showed polysiloxanes as a potential replacement. This research studied 12 polysiloxane coating systems that were formulated for improved erosion and impact resistance. Laboratory results showed that 3-D-P-2K-2-S is considered a valid replacement for vinyl system 4. Although system, 3-Z-P-2K-2-S had blistering and adhesion issues, it might be possible for the manufacturer to find a different zinc rich primer to get the desired performance, and potentially be a replacement for vinyl system 5EZ. None of the coating systems from manufacturers one or two are viable replacements for either of the vinyl coating systems.
