The Purpose of Coatings

• Beautify and Decorate

• Identification

• Asset Protection

Why does corrosion occur?

How Coatings Provide Protection

Most coatings serve as a

protective barrier by isolating the substrate from

the environment.

Barrier

Some pigments used in primers

control corrosion by containing rust

inhibitive compounds.

Inhibitive

When a zinc coating is applied to steel, the zinc sacrifices itself to protect the steel.

Sacrificial

Overcoat vs. Removal

Factors

• Percentage of rust

• Adhesion

• Dry film thickness

SSPC-VIS 2

Degree of rusting

• ASTM D 3359 (shear [tape/knife] adhesion) – Method A, “X-Cut”

• Use for coatings greater than 5 mils • Rate result according to description in standard

– Method B, “Cross-Cut” • 0–2 mils = 1mm spacing between cuts • 2–5 mils = 2 mm spacing between cuts • Rate result according to adhesion chart
