Abstract
The corrosion protection of a steel substrate using zinc-rich epoxy–alkyd paints (ZRPs) modified with either 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (HMIMPF6) or 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (BMPyrrTFSI) has been investigated. Additionally, the influence of ionic liquids (ILs) on the corrosion process of uncoated steel and zinc as well as on electrical features of zinc-free varnishes has been evaluated. The pyrrolidinium IL significantly reduces the corrosion rates of steel and zinc but the ZRPs with HMIMPF6 offer better cathodic protection of steel than unmodified ZRP and ZRPs with BMPyrrTFSI. The electrical conductivity of IL is not critical for the protective features of ZRP.
