The present work was aimed at the synthesis of polyphenylenediamine, its description and determination of parameters whose knowledge is required for the formulation of organic coatings pigmented with this compound. Polyphenylenediamine phosphate was prepared by oxidation polymerization in acidic environment. Phosphoric acid was used as the doping acid. Based on the results, pigmented organic coatings containing polyphenylenediamine at volume concentrations of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 3%; 5%, and 10% were formed. The effect of the conductive polymer on the organic coatings‘ corrosion properties was examined via accelerated corrosion tests. From the results of an accelerated corrosion test it follows that if added to an epoxy-ester coating, this pigment improves appreciably the coating‘s corrosion resistance, especially at low pigment volume concentrations.
