Neoprene and ‘Hypalon’‐based Coatings: CORROSION‐RESISTANCE INVESTIGATIONS Available to Purchase

A series of tests has been carried out by the French Oceanographic Research Centre on coatings based on neoprene and Hypalon synthetic rubbers. Five types of coatings were tested, being immersed in sea‐water and exposed to sea air and spray. The tests were carried out at two marine corrosion stations, one at La Rochelle on the Atlantic Coast and the other at Abidjan on the Ivory Coast of West Africa. The following report describes the nature of these tests and the conclusions drawn.
