Protective Coatings in Arctic Environments
Protective coating systems were investigated in the laboratory at temperatures down to -60˚C to simulate arctic conditions. Ageing resistance testing according to ISO 20340 showed generally acceptable rust creep. Polysiloxane topcoats, however, showed cracking after testing. Investigation of...
Corrosion protecting coating systems in Arctic areas
Summary Various properties of five protective coating systems have been investigated under arctic conditions. Arctic conditions have been defined as temperatures down to 60°C. Ageing resistance testing according to ISO 20340 with -60°C in the freezer instead of the specified -20°C showed acceptable...
