Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to evaluate the anticorrosive properties of resin(alkyd, epoxy, urethane) and pigment(hydroxy apatite(HAp), zinc potassium chromate(ZPC). red lead(RL)). The corrosion behavior of coatings applied on steel has been investigated during exposure to 0.5M-NaCl The anticorrosive performances of resins were found to depend on their chemical nature and decreased in the order of urethane > epoxy > alkyd resin coating. Hydroxy apatite and zinc potassium chromate pigment which have property to passivate the substrate showed relatively high anticorrosive performance.

Hydroxyapatite(HAp) was synthesized using the waste sludge from semiconductor process and used as an anticorrosive pigment. The water absorption of coating pigmented with anticorrosive pigment and the corrosion at interface between coating and substrate were monitored using AC impedance techniques. The anticorrosive performance of HAp was compared with those of red lead(RL) and zinc potassium chromate(ZPC), which have been known as representative anticorrosive pigments. The amount of absorbed water in ZPC- and HAp- pigmented coatings was much higher compared to that in RL-pigmented and unpigmented film. However, it seems that the water absorbed into HAp- or ZPC-pigmented film is beneficial to anticorrosive function. The anticorrosive performance of HAp is superior or at least comparable to those of ZPC and RL. The excellent anticorrosive properties of HAp can be explained by its passivating ability, caused by the reaction of the soluble component of HAp with Fe to form iron phosphate in the presence of water.
