Zinc-rich primers, with zinc dust loadings of 80-85% by weight in the dry film, are often the preferred primer during new construction of assets placed in environments with high atmospheric corrosivity. Coating standards such as SSPC-Paint 20 and ISO 12944 demand that zinc-rich primers contain at least 65% and 80% zinc dust by weight in the final dry film, respectively. Traditional zinc rich primers need this high zinc loading to achieve galvanic protection of steel. New technology allows us to develop zinc primers with a lower content of zinc and/or different zinc morphology than dust to provide similar or better corrosion protection to the steel.

The US Marine Corps (USMC) uses the various paints within the specifications that makeup the CARC system on their vehicles and weapon systems. Their use includes new system acquisition, field repair, major repaint activities and during complete system rebuild at the depots.
This report assesses (1) the rate of corrosion of bare steel with and without cathodic protection, and (2) the effectiveness of various commercially avail able coating systems in preventing corrosion of steel piles in seawater. Eighteen coatings and four sacrificial anodes were tested on 24 sets (three piles per set) of ASTM A 36 or ASTM 690 steel H-piles exposed for 5 years at Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts. Performance ratings were established for the following coatings: organic, organic over metal-filled, organic over metal filled with cathodic protection, metallic organic over metallic, and organic with cathodic protection. It is concluded that sacrificial anodes of zinc and aluminum effectively reduced the corrosion rate of bare carbon steel (ASTM 36) piles in the immersed zone from 0.076-0.102 mm/yr (3-4 mils/yr) to zero, and the coating performing best was coal tar epoxy over zinc-rich primer.
Phenalkamine curing agents for epoxy resins provide an outstanding anticorrosion protection, fast and low temperature curing, high surface tolerance, large overcoat window and low VOC formulations.
Galvanic primers have been found to be effective at reducing crack formation aluminum alloys. This paper will review primers that Luna has developed and explore a variety of commercially available ones.
This paper represents the analysis and investigation of two pack epoxy internal lining damage on two new build 24” fuel hydrant system (FHS) pipelines. A leak in a nearby 36” irrigation line during construction caused water flooding in the open trench containing the FHS pipelines.
With increased demands placed on anti-corrosion primer coatings, whether solvent or water based, formulators are continually searching for ways to improve performance. Anti-corrosion, suspension of heavy pigments and fillers, achieving high film build, improving mechanical strength are properties which are desired to impart improved protection and can stability in severe environments.
BASF has developed a novel crosslinking isocyanate-free coating technology based on carbodiimide chemistry. A polycarbodiimide crosslinker with suitable functionality for coating applications and ultra-low free monomeric isocyanate has been introduced to the market. We formulated a 60% solids industrial primer using the new isocyanate-free coating technology and applied it on different metal substrates.
topcoats utilized on the exterior skin of Department of Defense (DoD) aircraft (i.e., fixed and rotary wing) and ground support equipment (GSE) are two-component (2K) polyurethanes (PUs) that are qualified to MIL-PRF-85285 performance requirements. These topcoats are formed from the chemical MARCH reaction of hydroxyl- and isocyanate-functional molecules to generate highly cross-linked polymeric networks that contain carbamate (i.e., urethane) linkages. Formation of these cross-linked networks result in durable coatings with excellent hydrocarbon resistance, mechanical and thermal properties, including resistance to ultraviolet (UV) degradation from sunlight.
This guide provides the specifier and user with information regarding the use of pre-construction primers (PCPs) on structural steel in shipbuilding. It provides background on the reasons to use and retain PCPs, the types of PCPs and their application and inspection, and the secondary surface preparation processes that are used when PCPs are retained in the final, compatible primary coating system. While this document contains details specific to the shipbuilding industry, the technical concepts related to the application and retention of PCP may apply to other industrial applications.
