Research abstract
Not Available A water-borne lignin-silicate primer/coating system is described that promises to significantly inhibit corrosion of the important base metals iron and aluminum. The key to this technology is the use of sol gel chemistry to prepare the corrosion inhibiting primer. The well known quinoidal, catecholic, and phenolic groups of lignin provide the corrosion inhibition. The proposed technology is especially attractive since it involves only environmentally benign components, is easy to apply, and will be economical.
