Abstract
An epoxy resin formulation completely free of organic solvent was applied t o carbon steel coupons using supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) as the vola tile solvent. Sleet coupons coated in this manner were compared to coupons coated with a standard military specification marine primer (MIL-P-24441) d uring exposure to aerated 0.5 nrl sodium chloride (NaCl). The solvent-free coating protected the steel from corrosion in this environment as well, if not better than, the solvent-based primer.
