Corrosion-resistant pigments such as zinc chromate, zinc oxide, zinc dust, lead chromate, or red lead are used in anti-corrosive paint. Linseed oil is commonly used as a binder in anti-corrosive paint. This type of paint is specifically formulated to protect steel and other metal surfaces from corrosion.
Anti-corrosive paints should dry quickly and harden rapidly. They should exhibit qualities such as abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, water resistance, and impact resistance. These paints provide cost-effective and long-lasting corrosion prevention solutions.
Anti-corrosive paints are often applied to metallic surfaces, including ferrous metals like steel and cast iron. Structural steel is commonly treated with anti-corrosive paint to protect it from acid fumes and harsh weather conditions, ensuring the durability and integrity of the steelwork over time.
