Weathering and Aging of Paint 111<br />

In a 1950s British study of bare steel and painted panels carried out at Sheffield,<br />

an industrial site that had heavy atmospheric pollution at the time, and Calshot, a<br />

marine site, the same overall result — no correlation between airborne chemicals<br />

and corrosion of painted metal — was seen [40]. The corrosion rate of bare steel in<br />

Sheffield was about four times that at Calshot, but the performance of the painted<br />

panels was about the same (see Table 6.4).<br />

The same trend was seen in a Portuguese study of zinc-rich coatings exposed<br />

at Sines (marine atmosphere) and Lavradio (industrial). Bare metal coupons of mild<br />

steel corroded nearly twice as much at Lavradio as at Sines, and zinc corroded almost<br />

four times as much at Lavradio. The 18 coatings studied at both sites did not reflect<br />

that difference [41].<br />
