TY - JOUR AU - AB - The paper describes combination of optical and electronic methods together with IR analysis for evaluation of the paint coatings. Based on these methods the fingerprint of each paint layers is identified according to requirements of ISO 12944-9. The database of numerous typical industrial painting systems is created. These data allow to identify composition of the existing systems before their renovation or the mistakes in newly applied painting systems, e.g., different type of binder, pigments, etc. Keywords: Paint system analyses, IR method, electronic scanning microscopy 1. INTRODUCTION Paints are very complication system and mixture of the organic and inorganic substances. This is reason for more complicated identification and clarification of the causes of defects. This is also very important in order to prevent errors and thus ensure the required long life of corrosion protection. In addition to physical methods such as measuring the thickness of the protective film, its adhesion, gloss, colour, checking the cleanliness of the surface, which can be performed in the field, it is necessary to obtain samples for laboratory evaluation. In the laboratory it is then possible to perform further analysis and microscopic examination. A paint examination always begins with a microscopic examination of the samples TI - Methods for evaluation of paint coatings composition JO - METAL 2021 Conference Proeedings DO - 10.37904/metal.2021.4172 DA - 2021-01-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/methods-for-evaluation-of-paint-coatings-composition-0zm4GD0hnS DP - DeepDyve ER -
