Anticorrosive character of the multi-layered systems of acrylic products with ceramic microspheres and kaolin addition. Part 1
Journal Title: Construcţii - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper presents some experimental results of the research works developed in order to obtain innovative systems for corrosion protection of steel. The innovative nature of the research consists in the material type and the multilayered systems created and tested in laboratory and in situ conditions. Four recipes of an acrylic compound in aqueous dispersion, with ceramic microspheres, with a kaolin addition in different proportions were created and then applied on steel surfaces in 3 - layered systems. Also, there were presented the survey results of the systems mentioned above after their exposure to corrosive environments in accelerated laboratory conditions. The results of the survey, expressed by means of the adherence of the multilayered systems to steel surface, indicated a possible new merge between nanotechnology and the use of the natural resources, and a new possible direction for the use of kaolin in paint industry, in order to obtain a new type of coatings with a good reaction to the aggressive actions of the current climate manifested in various countries.
