Binders that show a high contact angle both before and after the salt spray test perform better for corrosion protection, compared to those that show low contact angles before and after the test.
The adhesion/corrosion balance of the previous study yielded significant new insights into resin design. Polymers with good wet adhesion and good corrosion resistance could be isolated, and those properties correlated back to their monomer compositions and particle morphologies.
NACE International Institute announced the release of its innovative IMPACT PLUS corrosion management product – the world's first platform to benchmark practices and improve corrosion management.
This tester provides multifunction nano and micro/ macro modules on a single platform. Both modules include scratch tester, hardness tester and wear tester modes, providing a wide and user-friendly range of testing.
Leading global coatings provider Hempel was appointed to provide innovative tough coating solutions against corrosion to the Queensferry Crossing. Located on the busy Forth Estuary near Edinburgh, on the east coast of Scotland, it spans an impressive 2.7 kilometers, making it the longest three-tower cable-stayed bridge in the world.
This article will be primarily focused on traditional barrier protection and how breakthroughs in formulation and manufacturing techniques have led to advances in edge corrosion protection.
An innovative primer that stops corrosion for decades has caught the attention of multinational paint companies. Unlike traditional primers that sit on the surface of steel, this primer chemically bonds with steel to form an alloy layer that corrosion cannot penetrate.]
A multifaceted exploratory study was conducted on the Resistance to Iron Chloride Test specified in AMS-C-27725 to better understand the rationale of this corrosion acceleration test required for the integral fuel tank coating systems.
This article reports on our evaluation of AMPARMOR™ 2000, an additive designed to impart self-healing functionality to fusion-bonded epoxy (FBE) and epoxy powder primer coatings, and AMPARMOR 3000, designed as an option for nonepoxy coatings.
