EFFECT OF PAINT VAPORS ON CADMIUM PLATED STEEL

Abstract

Studies to determine the cause of cadmium corrosion encountered in electronic vans showed the curing of alkyd resin enamels in a closed system can create an atmosphere corrosive to cadmium plated steel. Proper curing and ventilation should prevent this occurrence. It is also possible that the incorporation of some acid reactive pigment, such as zinc oxide, in alkyd enamels would also eliminate this type corrosion. Investigation of nine additional coatings representing different types of coating vehicles indicated that epoxy, vinyl, nitrocellulose-alkyd and nitrocellulose-acrylic vehicles will not create this corrosive atmosphere.
