The technology offers a simple, cost-effective and novel process of production of smart self-healing coating of conducting polymers useful for protection of iron and steel metal surface from corrosion. When the chemical structure of a metal surface is damaged, this conjugated or conducting polymer composite forms chemical bonds for site passivation and self-heal the damaged surface, even in extreme marine environments. This technology extends the life of the coating twofold than other conventional coatings. This environmentally friendly technology is devoid of heavy metal ions and hazardous chromates, is biodegradable and has excellent film forming property. The most common way to prevent a metal from corroding or delay its corrosion is to provide an impervious coating over it. Organic coatings have long been used to protect metals against corrosion. However, most conventional coatings, such as paints, are not permanently impenetrable, and all coating systems eventually fail, either through existing pinholes in the coating or by diffusion of oxygen and water through it. Designing marine structure using corrosion resistant materials such as iron with chromium (stainless steel) and alloys of titanium, zirconium is not cost effective on large-scale. This low-cost smart self-healing coating of conducting polymers for corrosion protection specifically in marine environments has been able to provide an alternative solution to convention corrosion protection. It has smart action and self-healing ability for pinhole scratch site passivation. This cost-effective smart coatings technology will also facilitate the paint and corrosion industry to solve the environmental issues. The adhesion of the coating was successfully tested by Tape Test as per ASTM D3359-02. The formulated paints were tested for the physical properties as per the ASTM Standards, For Painted Panels, Dry film thickness, Impact resistance, Adhesion, Flexibility and Abrasion Resistance were tested as per the ASTM Standards. Manufacturing Process First of all various conducting polymers (pigments) were synthesized, followed with Pigment characterization, Paint formulation with conducting polymer pigments using
various binders and testing of formulated paints for physical attributes.
Plant and Machinery The main machinery required are, Reaction kettle, Refrigeration unit, Centrifuge, Ball mill, Vessels, Sieves with Shakers, Ovens. Market Potential There is a growing demand and opportunity for coating technologies which can reduce coating costs and prevent corrosion. Demand for industrial coating products and paints are expected to increase globally and with an expected CAGR of 6.2% between 2017 and 2025. The coating technology has broad range of applications and can be used effectively on metal and concrete structures in various places, metals in marine environment, etc. This coating technology can be applied across multiple industries. This Self-healing epoxy primer paint can be used for protection of all types of iron & steel in Industrial and Marine Environments. Application The smart self-healing coating technology is applicable to a broad range of end users including:
Bridges Under surface of Railway coaches, wagons, car, bike scooter Railway coaches Concrete structure Ship hulls Undersea oil pipeline Transmission towers and electricity poles TV and microwave transmission towers
