Properties of organic coatings depending on chemical composition and structure of pigment particles

ZnO, ZnO/core, MgO and MgO/core oxides were synthesized; their morphology was evaluated and their impact on the physical properties of the paint film was assessed. The binder used in the studied coatings was epoxy-ester resin. The physico-mechanical properties and the anticorrosion efficiencies of the pigmented paint films were determined. All the synthesized pigments have good anticorrosion efficiency in epoxy-ester coatings. The synthesized pigments can be conveniently used in coatings protecting metal bases against corrosion.
