Abstract
In order to identify the causes that led to microbiological degradation by biofouling increases a top coat painting layer applied to a railway bridge was analyzed by both FTIR and the DSC methods; the analysed painting material was that used to paint the bridge in 2013.The determinations were performed comparatively on samples of a similar painting material after 10 days of curing in a natural atmosphere at 25 � 5 �C, after 60 days of storage under laboratory conditions (22 � 5 �C, RH 60 � 10 %, natural lighting), and on samples from the painting material of a certain railway bridge after approx. 4.5 years (exposed natural weathering of temperate climate with Mediterranean influences). From FTIR determinations, the amount of oxygen containing groups (C = O, C-O, C-O-C, -HO) resulted from ageing under various conditions of the painting material.From DSC determinations, the resistance of the paint to the oxidative degradation decreases with the ageing time as resulted from oxidation onset temperatures and oxidation activation energies values - which decreases with 4 kJ / mole (about 2.2 %) in only 60 days of storage in the laboratory and with 7 kJ/mole (about 3.9 %) following exposure to 100 w/m2 for only 15 h and 29 kJ / mole (over 16 %) after exposure to 4.5 years of natural weathering.
