Corrosion-resistant coatings are essential for prolonging the lifespan of metal structures, yet conventional formulations often lack sufficient mechanical strength and chemical durability. This study focuses on the development of polyurethane/epoxy hybrid coatings (PUAE) with varying epoxy resin content (5%, 10%, and 15% by weight) to enhance performance. The hybrid films demonstrated improved mechanical properties with increasing epoxy content, including a rise in tensile strength from 39.1 MPa (PUA) to 86.3 MPa (PUAE15) and adhesion from 2.5 MPa to 8.3 MPa. Hardness also increased from 69 Shore A to 98 Shore A, while elongation at break decreased from 158% to 95%, indicating a shift toward a stiffer material. The thermal stability, assessed by TGA, showed higher degradation temperatures, with PUAE15 reaching a maximum decomposition temperature of 390 °C, compared to 320 °C for pure polyurethane. Viscosity at 5 rpm increased from 12.300 mPa·s to 18.563 mPa·s, and the contact angle improved from 105° to 149°, highlighting enhanced hydrophobicity. PUAE15 also displayed superior resistance to solvents and acidic environments. These results affirm that epoxy content significantly influences the structural, mechanical, and corrosion-resistant properties of polyurethane-based coatings, making PUAE15 a promising candidate for advanced anticorrosive applications.
