ZINC DUST PAINTS —: chemical or electrochemical protection?

Abstract

There is a common area of agreement that zinc dust paints can protect steel exposed adjacent to surfaces covered by the paint and that cathodic protection, if present, is rapidly stifled by the formation and deposition of zinc corrosion products. In this review of early English and subsequent German research into the mechanism of the protective action the weight of evidence favours the chemical protection theory.
