Foreword The subject of

10、 soluble salts on steel substrates and their effect on coating performance is an important and widely debated topic. The concentration at which soluble salts begin to have a detrimental effect on coating performance varies widely, depending on factors such as the type of service, coating thickness,

11、generic coating type, and the presence of moisture. This technical committee report is intended to provide information concerning the use of coatings in service environments where soluble salt contamination of the substrate is suspected. Ideally, it is desirable to have no soluble salts present on t

These associated surface preparation costs provide incentive for risk assessment to balance the cost-to-benefit ratio of

The purpose of this technical committee report is to increase the industry awareness of the following: The effects of various nonvisible soluble salt contaminants on a coatings performance; An approach to risk assessment regarding the costs of soluble

14、salt removal versus the risk of future coating failure; Identification of the indicators of salt contamination; and Various methods of salt contamination removal. Coating manufacturers can provide recommendations regarding tolerable soluble salt levels based on coating type, service, and desired ser

15、vice life. With this information, the user typically makes a more informed decision regarding the most effective surface preparation methods. The level of salt contamination that a specific coating system can tolerate in a given service environment depends on the type and severity of the environment

16、, extent of surface preparation, coating material formulation, and a number of other parameters. Because of the variability of these parameters, numerical levels are not discussed in this report. Numerical levels of tolerable salt contamination are being addressed by ISO(1)/TC 35/SC 12/WG-5.1The rem

Introduction Long-term coating performance is directly related to proper coating material selection, correct coating formulation, appropriate and adequate surface

27、preparation, and satisfactory coating application. In addition, soluble salt contamination in the form of chlorides, nitrates, and sulfates sometimes has a deleterious effect on long-term performance of some coating materials in some exposure conditions. Coating specification writers, facility owner

28、s, and coating applicators have avoided problems by understanding when soluble salts could be an issue and the steps that could be taken to mitigate the consequences of salt contamination. Soluble salts on a surface potentially affect the substrate or coating in two principal ways: By accelerating c

29、orrosion of an underlying steel surface. Dissolved salt solutions may accelerate oxidation of steel, resulting in undercutting of a coating system applied over that substrate. Corrosion can occur without the presence of any salts. Crevice corrosion, oxygen concentration corrosion, pitting, and gener

30、al corrosion all occur without salt contamination in the presence of moisture on susceptible metal surfaces, such as steel. If salts are present, the rate of such corrosion accelerates. As a cause of osmotic blistering. Blistering of a coating sometimes occurs when moisture permeates through the coa

31、ting film and dissolves entrapped water-soluble salts beneath the coating. The coating acts as a semipermeable membrane between a dilute salt solution (the liquid outside the coating), and a concentrated salt solution (liquid with dissolved salts within the blister). Coating systems in immersion or

32、wet environments are sometimes susceptible to osmotic blistering, and blistering may occur at the steel surface and between coats. Osmotic pressure beneath the coating, in excess of the bond strength of the coating, may cause blisters. Ultimately, corrosion sometimes develops within the blisters, de

33、pending on oxygen availability. Blistering of a coating system also occurs in the absence of soluble salts. Entrapped polar solvents and overdriven cathodic protection may draw moisture through a coating film to cause blistering. The best life-cycle performance is usually achieved when the coating s

34、ystem is applied over an uncontaminated or less-contaminated surface. However, a level of nonvisible soluble salt surface contamination that does not significantly compromise a coating systems life-cycle performance may also exist. At this level, the additional cost of removal of the salt contaminat

35、ion sometimes is not warranted. The owner or specifier sometimes conducts a risk assessment to evaluate the costs of soluble salt removal versus the risk of reduced coating performance. The owner and specifier often determine whether the increased performance anticipated by achieving a nonvisible so

36、luble salt decontaminated surface is justified from a cost standpoint. NACE International 4 Effect of Salt Contamination on Coating Performance Little definitive information is available regarding how the amount of salt contamination relates to coating performance. Difficulty in objectively evaluati

37、ng the detrimental effects of soluble salts is caused in part by the diverse and variable resins, pigments, and coating materials available that may be formed into single-coat or multicoat systems. Other variables include the thickness of a given coat or coating system and the nature and range of se

38、verity of exposure environments. These variables combine to make it difficult to prepare a simple, convenient table or chart that establishes acceptable tolerance levels for a soluble salt beneath a coating. Some coatings are more tolerant of the presence of water-soluble salts than others. For exam

39、ple, inorganic zinc-rich coatings and metallized coatings are generally considered to be more tolerant than organic coatings such as fusion-bonded epoxies and epoxy-phenolics. The total thickness of a coating system usually has an impact on the ability of a coating system to tolerate the effects of

40、salts on a surface. For a given coating system, thicker systems are typically more impervious to water, and therefore have a greater salt tolerance, than thinner systems. Some soluble salt contaminants are more corrosive to steel than others. For example, nitrates appear to be slightly less corrosiv

41、e than chlorides and sulfates at low concentrations, but not necessarily at higher concentrations.8The effect of the cation (positive ion) typically is also considered. For example, for chloride salts, the order of corrosiveness (from most corrosive to least corrosive) to steel is: lithium chloride,

42、 sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and calcium chloride.8 The corrosiveness of a salt is, up to a point, directly proportional to the conductivity of the electrolyte formed when it dissolves (for sodium chloride, the maximum corrosiveness occurs when the salt solution is approximately 3.5 wt%). T

43、he conductivity of a given salt solution is a function of its ionic species. The relative corrosiveness of salts to steel sometimes does not correlate with the effect of these same salts in compromising coating performance. Osmotic blistering of coatings is independent of the species of salt, and is

44、 entirely dependent on the number of ions in solution.9For example, the solubilities in 100 mL of ambient water at 20 oC (68 oF) are: 87.6 g for sodium nitrate, 35.9 g for sodium chloride, and 19.5 g for sodium sulfate.10Despite the dissociation of sodium sulfate into three ions, and sodium nitrate

45、and sodium chloride into only two ions each, the lesser solubility of sodium sulfate results in less ions in solution. Therefore, of these salts, nitrates are expected to be most destructive with regard to blistering of a coating, even though they typically are the least corrosive salt to a steel su

46、rface at low concentrations. To determine allowable levels of salts, users typically refer to the coating manufacturers product data sheet, or contact the coating manufacturer. Frequently, the allowable level of any salt is relative to the expected service life for the specified coating system in a

47、particular environment. Contamination levels are most commonly measured in micrograms per square centimeter (g/cm2) or milligrams per square meter (mg/m2). Risk Assessment The approach to risk assessment varies depending on a number of factors, not the least of which is the owner/specifiers attitude

48、s and concerns regarding the potential consequence of coating over a salt-contaminated surface. In some service environments, salts may not be a problem. There may be no evidence of salt-induced corrosion or salt contamination. In general, coating systems in atmospheric exposures are more tolerant t

49、o soluble salt contamination that those in immersion service. In environments where salt-induced corrosion is seen, or where salt contamination is suspected, salts may be present. In these environments, testing is usually performed to ensure that unacceptable levels of soluble salt contamination are not present before any coating operations are performed. To reduce risk, some owners and specifiers desire to minimize any salt contamination prior to coating. Other owners and specifiers attempt to assess the risk associated with the presence of so
