Corrosion Control Through Organic Coatings

This book discusses practical aspects of corrosion protection with organic coatings and links this to ongoing research and development. Thoroughly updated and reorganized, this new edition has new chapters on coating degradation, protective properties, coatings for submerged service, powder coatings, and chemical pretreatment. It reviews corrosion-protective pigments, waterborne coatings, weathering, aging, and degradation of paint, and environmental impact of commonly used techniques including dry- and wet-abrasive blasting and hydrojetting. It discusses theory and practice of accelerated testing of coatings.
