A coating composition having a liquid carrier and a binder of a blend of a. an acrylic polymer containing glycidyl groups and b. a crosslinkable polysiloxane having attached to the silicone atoms of its backbone alkyl groups, phenyl groups and hydroxyl groups; optionally, a fluorocarbon polymer can be added to the composition; the composition cures at ambient temperatures and provides a finish that is durable, weatherable and heat resistant and is particularly useful for coating pipes, tanks, vessels and stacks of plants and refineries that are subjected to weathering, chemicals and heat. |
