Development of an epoxy inhibiting primer using barium manganate (IV) as a pigment

Abstract

The properties of anticorrosive coatings based on epoxy resin pigmented with barium manganate (IV) produced by ceramic method have been investigated. Electrochemical tests of coatings based on the developed primer showed inhibiting properties with respect to corrosion processes and also demonstrated that the coatings retain a high adhesion even after exposure to an electrolyte solution for 1000 hours. It has been established that the inclusion of the synthesized pigment in the coatings increases their ability to inhibit sub-film corrosion in steel.
