The past few years have brought about an increase in the availability and the use of fiberglass reinforced monolithic coatings on carbon steel and stainless steels. However, failure due to any number of reasons have caused concern regarding suitable applications. The requirements common for a successful end use application are 1) Tank Design, 2) Surface Preparation, 3) Application Method and Thickness and 4) Resin Selection. The purpose is to evaluate the effect of application method, primer, resin type, film thickness for carbon steel and for 304 stainless steel, and tensile adhesion failure modes of FRP linings exposed to thermal shock. Tensile pull-off values were obtained prior to and following thermal shocking for modified Bisphenol A fumarate, chlorendic anhydride, Bisphenol A vinyl ester, and 100% epoxy novolac vinyl ester laminates.
