Benefits of Visco-Elastic, Self-Healing, Fully Amorphous Coatings

Viscoelastic coatings have been used over the past two decades with success in solving corrosion issues in various circumstances. High aggressive soils such as the Subkha soil in the Gulf Coast area require excellent performance of a coating. In this presentation, the relation between the intrinsic properties of a viscoelastic coating and its performance under these circumstances is explained from lab to field.

• What viscoelastic coatings are
• Unique behavior of viscoelastic coatings
• Case history—Subkah soil: High salt and sulfur content, elevated temperature
• Case history—other external influences
• Typical uses of viscoelastics: An overview over the past decade
