Performance of Anticorrosive Paint Systems for Carbon Steel in the Antarctic Marine Environment.

This study evaluated the behavior of three paint systems exposed to the Antarctic marine environment for 45 months compared to a control of uncoated carbon steel with a determined corrosion rate. At the study site, all environmental conditions, solar radiation, and the concentration of environmental pollutants (Cl- and SO) were evaluated. The paint systems differed in terms of the primer and top coat.
