Abstract
Abstract In this work cerium tri(bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphate) (Ce(DEHP)3) particles were used as anti-corrosion pigments in epoxy coatings applied on steel coupons. The composition of the corrosion inhibitor was designed to introduce pH-stimulated corrosion healing in the coating. Electrochemical Impedance measurements demonstrated very high compatibility between the inhibitor and the coating, and effective and stable corrosion protection. Localized electrochemical measurements carried out using the Scanning Vibrating Electrode Technique and Localised Electrochemical Impedance revealed efficient corrosion inhibition of steel exposed in artificially damaged coatings.
