Abstract: The role of smart-release corrosion inhibitive pigments in preventing cathodic delamination of organically coated hot-dip galvanized steel (HDG) is investigated. The pigments consisted of hydrotalcite (HT) exchanged with a range of inorganic and organic anionic species and were dispersed in a model PVB coating. A scanning Kelvin probe (SKP) technique was used to determine cathodic delamination rates, and the inhibition efficiencies obtained for inorganic ions increased in the order ${{{\rm{CO}}}_{3}}^{2-}$ < ${{{\rm{MoO}}}_{4}}^{2-}$ < ${{{\rm{NO}}}_{3}}^{-}$ < ${{{\rm{VO}}}_{4}}^{3-}$ < ${{{\rm{WO}}}_{4}}^{2-}$ < ${{{\rm{PO}}}_{4}}^{3-}$ < ${{{\rm{CrO}}}_{4}}^{2-}.$ The inhibition efficiencies for organic-based pigments increased in the order triazole <phenylphosphonate <trans-cinnamate <benzoate <salicylate <benzotriazole. The inhibition efficiency afforded by the best performing organic inhibitor, benzotriazole (BTA), rivalled that of HT containing stored chromate anions. Findings are consistent with HT-BTA acting to sequester anions from the underfilm electrolyte, releasing BTA− which subsequently strongly adsorbs on the underfilm metal surface but can also form an insoluble Zn-BTA precipitate at the coating-defect boundary.
