Epoxy emulsion water-based coating

摘要

A coating formulation comprises an oil-in-water emulsion of a solution of epoxy resin in an alkoxy alcohol, such as 2-hexoxyethanol (hexyl cellosolve) as the dispersed phase, a curing agent and a non-ionic surfactant. The emulsion is stable and has spreading and wetting properties over low energy and lubricated surfaces and aluminum, thus yielding films free from surface imperfections.
