COMPATIBILITY OF IMPRESSED CURRENT CATHODIC PROTECTION WITH PAINT SYSTEMS

Over the past few years, zinc primers have become widely used in the marine industry. Revolutionized shipbuilding techniques have brought about automated plate by plate precoating with zinc primers during the preconstruction phase. A growing interest as well as concern has been expressed regarding the effects of impressed current cathodic protection on paint systems using zinc primers. The purpose of these tests was to establish whether or not paint systems including zinc primers are compatible with automatically controlled impressed current cathodic protection systems.
