Abstract
Overall, ebonite coatings or elastomeric linings are not recommended for direct immersion in sulfuric acid with higher than 65% concentration. By blending a chemical resistant epoxy resin to an ebonite coating, the resulting epoxy ebonite composition can be employed in more severe environment such as direct immersion in >65% sulfuric acid. In particular, the present invention provides a blend of an epoxy coating with an ebonite coating with a mix ratio of 95/5 to 5/95, the resulting epoxy ebonite composition of which has greatly increased adhesion to steel and excellent resistance to undercut corrosion when subjected to salt spray. The epoxy ebonite composition according to the present invention can be used as coatings, adhesives, encapsulants or sealants and is particularly useful as industrial coatings that are subject to wide temperature variations, salt contamination or chemical attack.
