Abstract Scope |
Corrosion remains a significant challenge in industrial environments, leading to considerable structural damage and economic losses especially in sectors such as offshore oil platforms and pipelines, where materials are exposed to harsh, corrosive conditions. Protective coatings, including structural paints and pipe linings, are commonly applied to extend the lifespan of metallic structures. Epoxy resin stands out in this context due to its excellent chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and cost-effectiveness. However, its non-recyclable nature raises sustainability concerns. To address this issue, the present study investigates the development of an eco-friendly composite incorporating fine glass waste particulates. This sustainable modification seeks to reduce the environmental impact of conventional epoxy coatings while maintaining or improving their protective capabilities. By reusing glass waste, the approach promotes resource efficiency and waste reduction, aligning with principles of circular economy and green engineering. This solution represents a step toward more sustainable practices in the protective coatings industry. |
