Test performance and instrument list of anti-corrosion coatings for steel structures

Steel structure anti-corrosion coating is a coating for the surface of steel structure to improve its anti-corrosion performance. Anti-corrosion coatings for steel structures are mainly composed of resins, pigments, fillers, etc., and have good corrosion resistance, weather resistance, wear resistance, etc., and are suitable for anti-corrosion, anti-rust, and decoration of various steel structure surfaces. It is used in a wide range of fields, including construction, bridges, marine engineering, petrochemical, electric power and other industries, and can effectively extend the service life and maintenance cycle of steel structures.

Water resistance:

  1. scratch a straight line on the coating surface;

  2. Place the coating sample in the water circulation test box to carry out the water circulation test;

  3. Observe the changes in the coating sample, such as peeling off, discoloration, etc.

Chemical resistance performance:

  1. Place the coating sample in a chemical resistance test box and expose it to chemical reagents;

  2. Observe the changes in the coated samples and use a microscope to observe their surface topography.

Heat resistance:

  1. Place the coating sample in a thermal cycle Test Chamber;

  2. Observe the performance changes of coated samples in high-low temperature environments.
