Anti-Corrosion Coating
Originally published in 1977
Body
Because of exposure to salt spray, coastal, or ocean structures; bridges, ships, oil rigs, and pipelines require more corrosion protection than is needed inland. NASA Goddard developed a zinc rich coating with a special binder that exhibits longer life and superior adhesion characteristics, so that only a single coat is required. Unlike conventional coatings, compound is easy to mix and requires no straining before application; its materials also cost less. Thus the new coating offers cost advantages in both materials and labor hours per application, and fewer applications over a given time span.
