For many years, sacrificial corrosion protective paint formulations based on Zinc consisted of zinc dust at approximate 80% loading and about 10% epoxy binder. This composition is necessary for corrosion protection, as direct zinc to zinc dust contact is only possible at high zinc dust loadings. This goes back to the spherical shape of the zinc dust particles with their low surface area.

For many years, it has been state of the art to use zinc dust in heavy duty corrosion protection according to SSPC Paint 20. The recent revision to SSPC Paint 29 allows the use of zinc in a flake-shaped form in heavy duty corrosion protective systems provided the performance meets the specification requirements.


Since zinc flakes have a significantly higher surface area compared to zinc dust, formulations using zinc flakes need to be different from previously used zinc rich primers based on dust to achieve adequate performance.


The presentation outlines fundamental formulation principles using zinc flakes in corrosion protective primers and explains where new options for formulating can lead to improved paint characteristics (storage stability, sprayability and the like) while meeting Paint 29 requirements.


In addition comparative Open Circuit Potential OCP data is presented and a final look onto commercial aspects is made.

It is fair to say that maintenance in the worldwide oil and gas industry has changed dramatically over the past ten years.  Facility owners are more than ever looking to reduce shutdown times, to improve plant efficiency and to extend plant lifetimes. With this comes the increased industry understanding about corrosion under insulation (CUI) with its deleterious impact and the ongoing desire for pragmatic high performance and cost-effective coating solutions.
