Paint is typically applied to metal surfaces as a coating to cover up any surface irregularities and to prevent such surfaces from being eaten away by rust and marine organisms. In our study, we examined how harsh environmental conditions might affect two different kinds of paint: a typically used white paint and Mighty CF-CP, a product which has recently begun to attract attention as an anti-corrosion paint on steel. We coated one iron plate with the white paint and one with Mighty CF-CP and then immersed both plates in the sea (at a depth of about one meter) for a period of nine months. The sea was chosen because we thought it provided us with the harshest environmental conditions. We discovered that although the film of both of these types of paint, as well as the surface of the iron plates changed with the passage of time, the degree in which they changed was remarkably different. Mighty CF-CP paint was much more resistant to effects of rust and marine organisms. In this paper, we will discuss in detail our findings.
