Abrasion resistant coating and method of application

Claim 1

A method for protecting metal surfaces, metal plates and pipes, said method comprising the steps of: (a) sand blasting said surface to provide a prepared surface having a desired anchor pattern; (b) removing substantially all dust particulate material from said prepared surface; (c) mixing a corrosion resistent resin containing finely divided abrasion resistent particles with the appropriate hardening catalyst for said resin to form a coating mixture; (d) diluting said coating mixture with a selected solvent to allow even application of said coating mixture; (e) applying said coating mixture to said prepared suface to obtain a desired thickness; and, (f) curing said coating as applied at room temperature (72° F.) for eight to twelve hours to obtain a coating on said surface having a first layer of concentrated abrasion resistant particles proximate said surface and a second layer of corrosion resistant resin over said first layer, wherein said corrosion resistant resin comprises 90% by weight finely divided ceramic particles in 10% by weight Bisphenol A epoxy resin including a polyamide elastomer in the ration of about one elastomer polymer molecule for every forty-second ceramic particle.

Claim 2

A method for protecting metal surfaces, metal plates and pipes, said method comprising the steps of: (a) sand blasting said surface to provide a prepared surface having a desired anchor pattern; (b) removing substantially all dust particulate material from said prepared surface; (c) mixing a corrosion resistent resin containing finely divided abrasion resistent particles with the appropriate hardening catalyst for said resin to form a coating mixture; (d) diluting said coating mixture with a selected solvent to allow even application of said coating mixture; (e) applying said coating mixture to said prepared suface to obtain a desired thickness; and, (f) curing said coating as applied at room temperature (72° F.) for eight to twelve hours to obtain a coating on said surface having a first layer of concentrated abrasion resistant particles proximate said surface and a second layer of corrosion resistant resin over said first layer, wherein said corrosion resistant resin comprises 90% by weight finely divided ceramic particles in 10% by weight Bisphenol A epoxy resin including a polyamide elastomer in the ration of about one elastomer polymer molecule for every forty-second ceramic particle.

Claim 5

A method for protecting metal surfaces, metal plates, and pipes, said method comprising the steps of: (a) sandblasting said surface to provide a prepared surface having a desired anchor pattern; (b) removing substantially all dust and particulate material from said prepared surface; (c) mixing a corrosion resistant resin containing finely divided abrasion resistant particles with the appropriate hardening catalyst for said resin to form a coating mixture wherein said corrosion resistant resin comprises 90% by weight finely divided ceramic particles and a 10% by weight Bisphenol A epoxy resin including a polyamide elastomer in the ratio of about one elastomer polymer molecule for every forty-second ceramic particle; (d) diluting said coating mixture with a selected solvent to allow even application of said coating mixture; (e) applying said coating mixture to said prepared surface to obtain a desired thickness; and, (f) sequentially curing said coating as applied first at room temperature (72° F.) for one-half to one hour and than at 250° F. to 300° F. for one to one and a half hours to obtain a coating on said surface having a first layer of concentrated abrasion resistant particles proximate said surface and a second layer of corrosion resistant resin over said first layer.

Claim 6

A method for protecting metal surfaces, metal plates, and pipes, said method comprising the steps of: (a) sandblasting said surface to provide a prepared surface having a desired anchor pattern; (b) removing substantially all dust and particulate material from said prepared surface; (c) mixing a corrosion resistant resin containing finely divided abrasion resistant particles with the appropriate hardening catalyst for said resin to form a coating mixture wherein said corrosion resistant resin comprises 90% by weight finely divided ceramic particles and a 10% by weight Bisphenol A epoxy resin including a polyamide elastomer in the ratio of about one elastomer polymer molecule for every forty-second ceramic particle; (d) diluting said coating mixture with a selected solvent to allow even application of said coating mixture; (e) applying said coating mixture to said prepared surface to obtain a desired thickness; and, (f) sequentially curing said coating as applied first at room temperature (72° F.) for one-half to one hour and than at 250° F. to 300° F. for one to one and a half hours to obtain a coating on said surface having a first layer of concentrated abrasion resistant particles proximate said surface and a second layer of corrosion resistant resin over said first layer.
