Is my coating system good for Cathodic Protection?

This mainly depended on the amount of electrons that can be passed through the coating system. This is defined as electrical conductivity. A coating systems that has a very high (electrical) resistance can be defined as an isolating coating system. Examples are asphalt/bitumen and polyethylene (PE) based coatings. On the other hand, there are coating […]
