Early Test Results of One-Coat Systems Applicable to Steel Bridge Structures

A two-year FHWA in-house study was launched in November 2006 to evaluate various coating materials that can be applied as one-coat systems to steel bridges. A total of eight test materials plus a 3-coat system and a 2-coat control system were applied over near-white steel test panels (SSPC-SP10). Their performance is being monitored using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, various surface failures, rust creepage at scribe, adhesion, and change of color and gloss.

This paper discusses the preliminary test results obtained from accelerated laboratory tests and outdoor exposure in a marine environment.
