Performance of formulations of antifouling coatings to protect carbon steel from effects of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) and marine biofouling in a tropical harbor seawater was assessed by field and laboratory experiments. • Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). • Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). • X-ray diffraction (XRD). • Seawater immersion.
The performance of several formulations of antifouling coatings to protect carbon steel from the deleterious effects of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) and marine biofouling in a tropical harbor seawater was assessed by means of field and laboratory experiments. MIC and biofouling effects are relevant factors in the corrosion of carbon steel due to the high level of pollution of the harbor seawater of Cartagena, Colombia, where this study was performed. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe microfouling characteristics and corrosion attack. Corrosion products characterization was made by using energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The performance of soluble antifouling coatings was evaluated by seawater immersion.
Key words: antifouling coatings, carbon steel, polluted seawater, MIC, biofouling
This paper will consider the performance and relevance to static situations of the key types of Cathodic dip painting (CDP) Antifoulings (Rosin Modified types), the current tin free polishing types (typically acrylates of various types), and low energy surface types. Both field experience and laboratory work will be considered.

The nut and bolt thread protector system is a patented, ultraviolet stabilized polyethylene thread protector, which seals nut and bolt threads in pressurized grease to effectively prevent corrosion and provide protection against physical damage.
In this paper the approach of an Oil Company is demonstrated from the initial choice between different primers: inorganic zinc and organic (epoxy) zinc., to all the preliminary pre-qualification tests, the subsequently field test performed, and the procedures adopted, costs included.
