Abstract

Utilizing waterborne epoxy resin as a main film-forming material, a kind of light color antistatic and anticorrosive waterborne epoxy coating with volume resistivity of 106 $$\Upomega \, \hbox{m}$$ was prepared by adding light color conductive pigments and anticorrosive pigments. The coating has excellent corrosion protective and outstanding decorating properties, which is applicable for the inner coating of oil tank. The effects of the type and the amount of conductive pigments, the film thickness, the curing temperature, and the curing time on the volume resistivity of the film were discussed. The properties of the several kinds of waterborne epoxy resin were compared and the determining of anticorrosive pigments was discussed.
