The use of water‐based epoxies for anti‐corrosive primers

For many years now, two‐component epoxy coatings have been used in a wide range of industrial applications, including traditional market areas such as floor paints and concrete sealers. Originally, the majority of such products were thinned with petroleum‐based solvents, but in the 1970s, Thomas Swan introduced Casamid 360, a water‐based polyaminoamide permitting significant reductions in volatile organic content while allowing basic characteristics to remain largely unchanged.
