New Type of Coating Provides Higher Protection against Metal Corrosion

Researchers at the Universitat Jaume I de Castellón (Spain) are working on a new type of coating that provides higher protection against metal corrosion due to its improved adherence to the metal surface and its anti-corrosion properties. The novelty resides in the elements used in the treatment of the paints through three chemically different pathways and the synergistic effect they produce. When the components interact, adherence of the paint to the metal substrate increases and anticorrosive properties improve. This way, the new coatings offer, with a single layer, a protection as good as when a pre-treatment is used.
