Abstract

[Objective]By adding modified inorganic fillers,the abrasion resistance of the coating is improved,providing effective solutions for long-lasting anti-icing.[Methods] A highly durable hydrophobic coating with delayed icing effect was prepared,with fluorocarbon resin as the film-formingmaterial and quartz powder and silica combined with low surface energy long-chain organosilicon asthe functional fillers. The study focused on the coating′s hydrophobicity,resistance to mechanical damage,artificial weathering test and anti-icing performance.[Results]The results showed that the developed coating had water contact angle of 120°,classifying it as a non-wetting hydrophobic material. The pull-off adhesion reached 7 MPa,and after abraded 3 000 r by abrasive wheels,the mass loss was less than 0. 05 g. After 3 000 h of artificial weathering test the gloss retention exceeded 80%.Additionally,water droplets at low-temperature environments revealed a significant delay in iceformation and reducing ice adhesion on the coating.[Conclusion]Homemade organic silicon anti-icing coatings have anti-icing performance and high abrasion resistance,and are expected to provide an important solution to icing problems in wind power facilities,railway transportation,and power transmission in low-temperature environments.
