Cathodic protection (CP) in combination with organic coatings is a well-known corrosion protective system for steel structures submerged in seawater. The coatings are exposed to an environment that may cause loss of adhesion, i.e. cathodic disbonding. The breakdown of coatings in CP/coating systems has been investigated. Six different coating systems have been exposed in accelerated tests for cathodic disbonding according to...
