Relation Between Antistatic Property and Anti-corrosion Performance of Antistatic Coatings

Based on the antistatic mechanism of doped antistatic coatings and the anti-corrosion principle of steels,the relations between the antistatic property and the anti-corrosion performance of antistatic coatings are discussed.The argument that a coating with good antistatic property must have poor corrosion resistance is discussed in this paper.The advantages and disadvantages of three kinds of doped antistatic coatings in the market are analyzed.In addition,the coating methods with different film thicknesses for the protection of the inner sides of the oil storage tank are presented.It is suggested that the anti-corrosion property of the antistatic coatings used for the inner sides of oil storage tanks should be enhanced.
