Abstract

A novel cationic benzotriazole pigment (CBP) based on the benzotriazolium cation (BTAH2+) exchanged into a sulfonated organic resin has been synthesized and evaluated as a means of inhibiting the corrosion-driven cathodic disbondment of organic coatings from the surface of galvanized steel. The CBP...

Abstract: A novel cationic benzotriazole pigment (CBP) based on the benzotriazolium cation (BTAH2+) exchanged into a sulfonated organic resin has been synthesized and evaluated as a means of inhibiting the corrosion-driven cathodic disbondment of organic coatings from the surface of galvanized steel. The CBP is acidic in nature (BTAH2+ pKa ≈ 1.1) and is intended to be compatible with acidic coating formulations such as etch-primers. Delamination rates, as measured using a scanning Kelvin probe (SKP), were found to decrease monotonically with increasing CBP volume fraction (ΦCBP) and to approach zero when ΦCBP = 0.1. The mechanism of CBP operation is described.
