Some results of waterborne paint for protection of steel reinforced concrete in marine and maritime environment

Abstract

This article is about our research on two different kinds of waterborne paint: acrylic and epoxy paints ideally for making anticorrosive coatings of steel reinforced concrete in marine and maritime environment. Using water as the main solvent, these paints with low organic solvent are normally non odor. Our empirical tests show that they fulfilled all requirements of 22TCN 235-97 and TCVN 6934:2001, the Vietnamese technical standards governing building materials for protection of concrete or steel reinforced concrete in the maritime climate area.
