DOIAbstract
Legal restrictions have impelled the replacement of solvent-borne resins and of toxic chromates and lead-bearing pigments in the elaboration of paints. Water-based anticorrosive paints have come a long way to improve their efficiency but their behaviour is said to be poorer than that of solvent-based paints. Nevertheless, recent advances in water-borne technologies have now resulted in improved resin systems that may be employed to produce heavy-duty coatings. The objective of this paper is to formulate high performance water-borne paints pigmented with non-toxic phosphate inhibitors. The anticorrosive properties of the paints were evaluated by accelerated tests (salt spray and humidity cabinets) and electrochemical tests (electrochemical i...
