Abstract

A real time 5-year outdoor study compares the performance of three paint systems (traditional oil based; acrylic; epoxy resin) applied to naturally corroded wrought iron, with their surfaces prepared to Swedish Standard Sa2.5 or Steel Surface Preparation Standard ST3. Interim data at 2 years reports on gloss, colour change, pull-off testing and EIS measurements. Traditional oil-based paint exhibited significant visual change; a modified alkyl paint underwent minor but visually undetectable changes and an epoxy/acrylic coating remained unchanged. The oxide layer in ST3 controlled adherence of the coatings.
