Abstract
Polyurethane coatings with two kinds of sillitin, i.e. M type and Z type sillitin respectively as filler were prepared and sprayed on hot dip galvanized steel sheets. The coatings exhibited better mechanical properties than the simple polyurethane coating, i.e. the wear resistance and the hardness of the polyurethane coating may be enhanced by 57.1% and 14.5%, as well as 85.7% and 41.8% for the addition of M type and Z type sillitin respectively. The coatings with the two types of sillitin exhibited also better corrosion resistance. The reason is that two types of sillitin are of a special structure composed of micro- sized granular silica and nano- flake kaolin clay, and the sillitin possesses high amount of nanoflake, which may be beneficial to the enhancement of the permeation resistance and mechanical properties of the coatings.
