Corrosion Resistance of Polyester Powder Coatings Using Fillers of Various Chemical Nature

Abstract

In the article the effect of fillers of various chemical nature on the corrosion resistance of polyester powder coatings i terms of flaking widths and corrosion expansion widths in accordance with DSTU ISO 4628-8: 2012 was reviewed. According to the results of studies, the effectiveness of the use of fillers to increase the corrosion resistance of the powder coating varies depending on the average particle size and crystalline form of the filler was found. As a rule, in order to receive a powder coating based decorative coating you should apply only one layer of paint, while liquid coatings require applying several layers; this increases the time of coating production. The powder coating can be easily utilized and recycled, thus the economic feasibility of production increases
