Determination of anti-icing properties of a gas-thermal coating protective coating with a surface layer of PTFE

Abstract

Icing is a negative factor in the operation of various structures and equipment. Ice, due to its physical characteristics, has an aggressive effect on the surfaces of many materials. The use of anti-icing coatings is one of the ways to passively prevent the negative effects of icing. Anti-icing coatings developed by Technological Systems of Protective Coatings LLC (TSZP LLC) are promising coatings intended for operation in the aquatic environment. The authors studied the performance characteristics of the developed anti-icing thermal thermal coatings with a surface layer of PTFE under field testing conditions. The results of the experiments carried out confirmed the anti-icing properties of the coatings under study.
