Abstract

To protect carbon steel from degradation via corrosion, it is usually coated using a multilayer system of paints composed of petroleum-based polymers. The chemical industry is currently moving towards more sustainable chemistry, in which one of the main objectives is to reduce fossil fuel use and the derived raw materials. However, the replacement of petroleum-based raw materials with those that are bio-based is not straightforward since the properties of these new materials are often inferior to the traditional ones. One of the most used resins in primer paints is Diglycidyl ether bisphenol A (DGEBA). This is an epoxy resin synthesized from bisphenol A (BPA), a toxic and carcinogenic petroleum-based compound. This study investigates the substitution of the primer coating in a three-layer coating system with two different types of primer coating formulations, one which is partially bio-based and another that is BPA-free. The corrosion protection effectiveness of these sustainable coatings is assessed not only at the laboratory scale but also in real offshore conditions. Moreover, the adhesion of the different coating systems is evaluated before and after each ageing test. The results reveal that these novel coatings exhibit comparable performance to conventional paints while providing a more sustainable corrosion protection alternative.
