Influence of the composition of zinc-ethyl silicate paints on electrochemical properties

The protection of steel by zinc-ethyl silicate primers is based on the general principle of cathodic protection by metallic zinc in contact with a ferrous substrate. The influence of the zinc content on the paint behaviour has been studied, but little attention has been paid to effects caused by the...
