Resumen:
The objective of this research was to study the efficiency of calcium aluminium phosphosilicate hydrate
(PSh), as anticorrosive pigment for paints in simulated aggressive environments. This compound is zincfree
and the phosphate content is less than 30% by weight. Alkyd and epoxy paints, of the solvent-borne
type, containing 30% by volume (v/v) of the pigment, were formulated. The pigment volume concentration
was fixed at 42.3%. Standardised accelerated salt spray exposure and electrochemical tests were used to
assess the protective performance of the coatings. Analysis and interpretation of the experimental data
showed that PSh inhibits corrosion of painted steel panels exposed to aggressive environments. Zinc
phosphate (ZP), a traditional anticorrosive pigment, was used as reference in all the essays.
