ABSTRACT
The most commonly used organic coating is paint. When applied for corrosion protection, paints are referred to as coatings. Paints consist of binders, pigments, fillers, additives, and solvents.
Organic coatings can protect metal structures against a specific or otherwise corrosive environment in a relatively economical way. The degree of protection depends on a number of properties of the total coated system, which consists of paint film, the metal substrate, and its pretreatment.
