Abstract
Composite coatings are a class of materials that are described as fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) that consist of extremely strong tensile fibers saturated in a binding resin. From the original development as tank bottom lining materials designed to handle surface movement and corrosion, the applications for composite coatings have broadened and moved into the mainstream, with industry-accepted design codes written around their uses and applications.
The paper discusses the fundamentals of composite coatings, industry-accepted design standards for their use, and examples of typical uses for these materials that solve problems in varied industries.
