The Coatings+ Show in Long Beach, California in the Long Beach Convention Center will feature a series of Technical Sessions and Workshops that focus on surface preparation, application, coating formulation, testing, inspection, and green coatings solutions.

Don Lawson of AGC Chemicals Americas, LUMIFLON, will be speaking on Thursday, February 6th at 9:30AM.

Talk:
Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) Evaluation of Single Layer Coating Performance in Corrosive Environments

Talk Description:
Substrate preparation which includes the removal of contaminates along with abrading or etching to create a surface profile via mechanical or chemical methods have a major impact on the adhesion performance of applied coatings. For coatings, a primary performance characteristic is adhesion after exposure to corrosive environments. One of the consequences of corrosion forming under a coating is the loss of adhesion or delamination of the coating. We used electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) along with accelerated exposure testing (ultraviolet light cycling with condensation, salt-spray) to determine the influence of corrosion inhibitors on the adhesion of direct-to-metal topcoats.
