COATING STUDIES AT KWAJALEIN, KANEOHE, AND PORT HUENEME

Abstract

Twenty-nine protective coating systems were applied to sand-blasted steel test panels and placed on exposure in the marine atmospheres of Kwalalein, Marshall Islands; Kaneohe, Hawaii; and Port Hueneme, California. A mica-filled asphalt emulsion applied over a wash primer and a zinc chromate primer gave excellent protection to both scribed and unscribed panels for 5 years. Four additional coating systems gave, for the same period of time, protection which was superior to that given by the selected standard test coating, Saran.
