Influence of surface preparation on the corrosion performance of epoxy coatings for ship ballast tank
other
The surface preparation has influence on the adhesion for coatings and consequently affect the corrosion performance of the coatings. The international Maritime Organization (IMO) has adopted a Performance Standard for Protective Coatings (PSPC) on the surface preparation for ballast tanks. However, disputes on the surface condition criteria for the coating systems applied to the ship ballast tanks still exist due to the lack of technical justification.
