Customer Reviews
FEIYANG did offer their professional services and products to us. That is why we have had a long-term and stable business with them for several years. Nowadays, we are more like partners instead of just one of their distributors. Also, I hope we can expand markets in the future together.

—— USA Distributor

Feiyang is a reliable supplier, not only their product quality but also their professional technical support and service. We have done business together for six years already, which contributed to the growth of our business from nothing to several containers annually. We are so happy and lucky to have Feiyang as our partner.

—— European Distributor

We are very happy to be one of Feiyang's distributors in Australia. They are pretty nice supplier. They always do their best to meet our requirements. Our customers also trust Feiyang's high-quality product and out-standing service. Looking forward to developing more business together.

Weather Resistance Mechanism of Polyaspartic

Description

The weather resistance of polyaspartic originates from its unique chemical structure, choice of material components, and cross-linked network properties, enabling long-term stability under complex environmental conditions such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation, temperature fluctuations, humidity, and chemical corrosion.

 

Chemical Structure and Basis of Weather Resistance

1.Core Role of Aliphatic Isocyanates

UV resistance: Polyaspartic employs aliphatic isocyanates (such as HDI and IPDI) that contain no benzene-ring conjugated structures, thus avoiding UV-induced oxidation reactions. (Traditional aromatic isocyanates such as TDI and MDI easily yellow and degrade due to benzene-ring oxidation.)

Molecular stability: Saturated aliphatic carbon-chain bonds (C-C, C-N) have high bond energy, requiring greater energy to break, thereby offering significantly improved photo-aging resistance compared to traditional materials.

 

2.Three-Dimensional Cross-linked Network

After curing, polyaspartic forms a highly cross-linked network structure, characterized by strong intermolecular forces. This effectively prevents penetration of oxygen, moisture, and corrosive substances, thus delaying oxidation and hydrolysis reactions.

High cross-linking density: The small spacing (nanometer scale) between cross-linking points restricts molecular movement and minimizes micro-cracking caused by thermal expansion and contraction.

Specific Performance of Weather Resistance

1.UV Aging Resistance

Photo stability: The C-N bond in aliphatic isocyanates has weak UV absorption, and polyaspartic coatings can incorporate UV absorbers (such as benzotriazoles) to further reflect or absorb UV energy.

Test data: In QUV accelerated aging tests (ASTM G154), polyaspartic coatings exhibited gloss retention >90% and a yellowing index (ΔE) <1.5 after 3,000 hours (traditional polyurethane ΔE >5).

 

2.Resistance to High and Low Temperature Impact

Wide temperature adaptability: Operational temperature range of -50°C to 150°C, achieved by balancing flexibility and rigidity within the cross-linked network:

At low temperatures, (-O-) within the molecular chains provide flexibility, preventing brittleness.

At high temperatures, cross-linked structures restrict molecular thermal movement, preventing softening and deformation.

Example: Bridge coatings in extremely cold regions (e.g., Northern Europe) showed no cracking or peeling after 10 years.

 

3.Resistance to Humidity and Salt Spray Corrosion

Hydrophobic surface: Coating contact angle >100°, reducing moisture adsorption and delaying electrochemical corrosion of metal substrates.

Salt spray resistance: Passed ASTM B117 tests with no blistering or rusting after 5,000 hours (traditional epoxy coatings fail after 2,000 hours).

 

4.Resistance to Oxidation and Chemical Corrosion

Antioxidant addition: Hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) capture free radicals, interrupting oxidation chain reactions.

Chemical resistance: The dense cross-linked network effectively resists permeation of acids (10% H₂SO₄), alkalis (5% NaOH), and salts.

Real-World Application Validation

1.Outdoor Building Applications

Roof waterproofing: After 10 years of exposure in tropical areas (e.g., Singapore), coatings showed no cracking or yellowing.

Exterior wall decoration: Color retention rate >95%, requiring less frequent repainting.

 

2.Transportation Infrastructure

Cross-sea bridges: In coastal environments with high humidity and salt spray, protective coating lifespan reaches 20 years (traditional coatings require renovation every 5 years).

Airport runways: Withstanding freeze-thaw cycles exceeding 300 cycles within a temperature range of -40°C to 60°C (GB/T 50082-2009).

 

3.New Energy Facilities

Photovoltaic brackets: UV and temperature difference resistant, ensuring coating integrity throughout the 25-year power generation cycle.

Wind turbine blades: Resisting sand erosion and minimizing efficiency losses due to surface abrasion.

Directions for Technical Optimization

1.Nano Modification Enhancement

Adding nano-silica (SiO₂) or zinc oxide (ZnO) improves UV shielding efficiency and coating hardness.

 

2.Bio-based Weather-Resistant Materials

Utilizing plant-derived aliphatic isocyanates (such as castor oil derivatives) achieves both environmental friendliness and weather resistance.

 

3.Smart Responsive Coatings

Developing temperature- or light-sensitive self-healing coatings that can automatically repair microcracks under external stimuli, extending service life.

 

The weather resistance of polyaspartic results from the synergy of aliphatic chemical structure, high cross-link density, and functional additives. By preventing UV degradation, resisting thermal stresses, and shielding against corrosive substances, polyaspartic demonstrates exceptional durability under harsh environments, becoming the preferred material for long-term outdoor protection. With ongoing developments in material science, the weather resistance of polyaspartic will further improve, providing reliable solutions for increasingly complex applications.
