Résumé : |
Inorganic Zinc Silicate Primers provide unmatched protection against corrosion for steel structures such as bridges, ships, skyscrapers, tanks, pipelines, factories, etc. This corrosion protection is due to the cathodic protection offered by these paints to the steel substrate. The article summarises classification of inorganic zinc silicate coatings, their hydrolysis using different catalysts, their reaction mechanisms, curing mechanisms, pigments used as well as recent trends in these coatings. |
