One of the most inexpensive and effective method to protect steel against corrosion is paints
containing active pigments. The traditional way to test these coatings performance is by
accelerated tests (exposition to salt spray and/or humidity chambers) and electrochemical
tests (corrosion potential, ionic resistance and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy).
However, these tests give incomplete information if the results are not correlated to outdoor
or service tests. The aim of this work was to evaluate water-borne epoxy anticorrosion paints …
