Abstract
The present experiment has been executed with the purpose to choose a paint with high corrosion-resistance and durability which is suitable for repainting the interior of the water reservoir and the water heater made of steel plate which are provided on passenger cars.
In the first report, some 30 commercial brands for the above-mentioned use were tested for their general properties, their durability under accelerated deterioration under passage of current, and long time immersion in distilled water and several of them for their durability under immersion in tepid to hot water in the water heater. The results show that coal-tar enamel, PVC or epoxy paints are relatively effective for painting the water reservoir; and epoxy enamel, PVC or saran paints have practical effect in the interior of the water heater.
