Crack-Resistant and Anticorrosive Coatings Based on Vulcanized Water Dispersion of Chlorine-Sulpho-Polyethylene

Advanced crack resistant coatings based on water dispersion of chlorine-sulpho-polyethylene (CSPE, Hypalon®) vulcanized by Mannich alkalis (MA) water solution were obtained.  Application of MA as a CSPE structure component makes it possible to produce a vulcanized net of saturated polymer, and thus to receive ecologically safe impenetrable crack resistant coatings of any substrata (concrete, metal, plastic, etc.).  The coatings can be applied in aircraft-, automotive-, shipbuilding, paint and varnish industries, civil engineering, etc. as a corrosion-resistant material.  The optimal coating composition and its mechanical properties have been studied.
