Abstract:
Fluorinated coatings are at the moment one of the best solutions to protect steel and aluminium substrate against corrosion. New VF2-based fluopolymer coatings, by the addition of OH groups in the polymeric chain and with lower curing temperature, have been formulated by ELF-ATOCHEM. Electrochemical characterization of this material has been performed by means of impedance spectroscopy. The results obtained and the comparison with the traditional PVDF system show an interesting improvement of the protective properties.
