Metal articles, for example metal pipes, are provided with protective coatings which comprise a layer of thermoplastic hot melt adhesive containing polar groups.
Description
SPECIFICATION
Improvements in coating metal articles
The present invention relates to an improved coated metal article, in particular an externally coated metal pipe for use in pipe lines for carrying gas, oil or other fluids where the operating temperature can be in excess of 600C but not exceeding 950C, and to a method for coating the article.
According to a first aspect of the present invention there is provided a metal article having a protective coating thereon comprising a layer of thermoplastic hot melt adhesive containing polar groups. The coating preferably also contains in admixture with the thermoplastic hot melt adhesive a thermoplastic polymer.
The protective coating may further include a second layer comprising a thermoplastic material compatible with the thermoplastic hot melt adhesive or mixture of the first layer.
According to a second aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of coating a metal article with a protective coating, comprising the steps of,
(a) preheating the surface of the article to a temperature in the range of 1 500C-4000C (b) applying to the heated surface a layer of powdered thermoplastic hot melt adhesive containing polar groups.
The layer may contain in admixture with the thermoplastic hot melt adhesive a thermoplastic copolymer.
The method may further comprise applying to the first layer a thermoplastic material compatible with the thermoplastic hot melt adhesive or mixture of the first layer.
The particle size of powders if preferably in the range 50-1000 microns.
The article is preferably a pipe and the metal is preferably iron, steel or brass.
According to either aspect,
The thermoplastic hot melt adhesive is preferably an acrylic acid modified polypropylene or an acrylic acid modified ethylene propylene copolymer. The polar groups may be selected from the group comprising carboxyl, carbonyl, hydroxyl, amine and amide.
The second layer is preferably polypropylene, ethylene propylene copolymer or a mixture of either polypropylene or an ethylene propylene copolymer with other polyolefins. The second layer preferably contains a high level of antioxidant, preferably between 0.3-3.0% of a sterically hindered phenolic type.
The proportion of polyolefin or polyolefin mixture in the first layer is preferably in the range 0-90%.
The polyolefin in the second layer is preferably polybut-1 -ene. The proportion of polybut-1-ene is preferably in the range 5%95%.
The invention will now be described by way of an example only with reference to the accompanying drawing Figure 1 which is a diagrammatic non-scale section through a portion of steel pipe coated according to the invention.
Referring to the drawing there is shown a portion of coated steel pipe 10 comprising a steel pipe portion 1 a primer layer 12 coated onto the pipe portion 1 and a top coat 13 coated onto the primer layer 12.
The primer layer consists of a hot melt adhesive preferably propylene acrylic acid copolymer.
The top coat comprises a layer of polypropylene blended with polybut-1-ene.
EXAMPLE 1
The surface of a steel pipe 11 was cleaned by grit blasting the pipe. The pipe was then heated to about 2500C-3000C.
The heated pipe was then transferred to a coating station where it was rotated and strew coated with powdered primer of 100-400 micron size consisting of propylene acrylic acid copolymer to form a fused primer layer 1 2 about 0.25 mm thick on the pipe.
Powder polypropylene/polybut-1 -ene mixture was strew-coated onto the primer layer whilst the pipe was at a temperature of about 2500C to provide a top coat layer 13 about 2.5 mm thicl < .
After coating the pipe 10 was passed to a cooling station where it was cooled while rotating.
The coating exhibited good adhesion to the steel pipe and good resistance by means of the polypropylene based coating to damage from external sources, such as impacts or abrasion, at temperatures in excess of 60"C and up to 950C.
The polybut-1-ene afforded enhanced toughness and freedom from porosity to the coating.
EXAMPLE 2
A pipe was coated as in example 1, but with no primer layer, using a blend of polypropylene, polybut-1 -ene, polypropylene acrylic acid copolymer and a hindered phenolic antioxidant.
The coating exhibited good adhesion to the steel pipe and good resistance by means of the polypropylene based coating to damage from external sources, such as impacts or abrasion, at temperatures in excess of 600C and up to 950 C.
The polybut-1 -ene afforded enhanced toughness and freedom from porosity to the coating.
The pipe may be coated by methods other than strew coating, e.g., cascade coating (a heated pipe indexed under a vibrating mesh based hopper), tumble bed coating, or fluidised bed coating.
The top coat may be based on polypropylene, ethylene propylene copolymer, or a mixture of these with other polyolefins and modified polyolefins.
The thermoplastic hot melt adhesive should be compatible with the top coat.
