Preparation and properties of a long-life cementbased mortar used on metal oilcans

Abstract

Organic-based materials are often used as the coating of metal oilcans. But they need to be sprayed several times in the whole life of oilcans because of the short-life of organic components. To overcome this problem, a type of long-life flexible cement-based anti-corrosion material used on the surface of metal oilcans was developed according to the principle that the steel reinforced concrete can remain the same life with buildings. The materials with different formulas composed of acrylic emulsion, cement and other additives were prepared. Because the ratios of polymer to cement played the decisive role in the adhesion and anti-corrosion characteristics, their effects on the physical performances were investigated by comparing the mechanical properties, anti-corrosion and anti-aging properties. The relationship between microstructure and macroscopic properties was also discussed.
