INORGANIC VS. ORGANIC ZINC PRIMERS FOR OFFSHORE PLATFORMS AN END USER'S POINT OF VIEW

摘要

Due to the harsh environment at sea, good corrosion protection of offshore platforms is necessary to ensure that the design life of each structure is achieved. Success of the coating work depends on many aspects (paint specification, paint systems certification, surface preparation, coating application, certified inspectors' activity, etc.). Mainly, however, success of the coating depends on the environmental conditions and the procedures used to counteract adverse environmental exposures during application.
