Example of using strippable paint for nuclear power plants

For the prevention of salt damage to stainless steel surface or the temporary rust prevention for carbon steel welded parts, the strippable paint of synthetic rubber shows excellent performance. Based on this fact, the strippable paint was applied to actual plants, and the expected results were obtained. The strippable paint forms the coating on surfaces to protect against corrosion or mechanical damage, and at the time of using things, the coating is peeled easily. As for the kinds of strippable paint, there are organic solution type, water dispersion type, organo-sol type, aqueous solution type and so on. The strippable paint supplied by Daito Kogyo K.K. is especially excellent in the limitation of harmful substance to stainless steel, the resistance to ultraviolet deterioration, the application of thick coating and the strength of dried films. Moreover, the low temperature hardening is slight, and below 80 deg C, it withstands the use for a fairly long period. The examples of use for atomic energy equipment and other field are reported, and the matters to which attention must be paid in its use are shown. (Kako, I.)
