Anticorrosion Performance of eco-friendly Paint Coatings

Abstract

Principal solvent and diluent used in water-soluble paints is water, although they can contain minimum quantities of potentially hazardous organic solvents. Corrosion protection performance of this type of paints is still low compared to the organic solvent-based paints. In this paper, monitoring of dry coating thickness and adhesion, as well as salt chamber and field testing were performed in order to test coating quality. Organic solvent-based paints show superior performance compared to the water soluble paint coatings.
