An enamel failing salt-spray after a raw-material substitution
500+ hrs
Salt-spray resistance restored, cost held flat
- Challenge
- A cost-driven binder swap had quietly destroyed corrosion performance.
- Approach
- Re-balanced the binder and additive package and re-qualified against ASTM B117.
- Result
- 500+ hrs — Salt-spray resistance restored, cost held flat
A cost-driven binder substitution had passed the usual checks but quietly gutted corrosion performance — the failure only showed up in the field.
We reproduced the failure, re-balanced the binder and additive package, and re-qualified the system against ASTM B117 salt-spray.
Corrosion resistance was restored to 500+ hours while holding the material cost that prompted the original swap.
