Prediction of Durability of Thermal Insulating Epoxy Coatings with Regard to Climatic Ageing.

It is generally accepted that the color and performance characteristics of liquid thermal insulation coatings are affected by the combined effect of various climatic factors such as solar radiation, temperature fluctuations, moisture, precipitation and others. This work presents the results of a scientific study of the full-scale exposure of coatings with regard to climatic ageing. Methods have been carried out, such as: spectrophotometry and direct scanning; determining adhesion, determining the adhesion strength of facing and protective coatings; and thermal conductivity and thermal resistance.
