Coatings have been used as a primary method to protect the substrate underneath from corrosion in various geographical environments. A diverse range of generic coating types are available to protect the metals in different corrosive environments. Selection of the right coating for a specific metallic substrate at given operating conditions and environment is key to avoiding any premature failures of coating.
Pull-off adhesion testing is a commonly used method to determine the coating adhesion strength. Relying on the pull-off adhesion testing technique to determine the coating adhesion strength is increasingly common due to its quantitative result. This study focuses on how the pull-off adhesion strength value of the coating is affected by the change in critical factors i.e. surface profile morphology (spherical, sharp & angular) and a range of surface roughness profile height (μm). Test sample surface was prepared to visually clean steel with diverse sizes and shapes of abrasives, coated with a 3 coat system. Pull-off adhesion testing was performed on the fresh coating and after exposing the coating to cyclic ageing test conditions adopted from ISO12944-9, Annex B. Additionally, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and surface characterization of abrasives using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and cross sectional analysis of coating sample after ageing with SEM-EDS (Scanning electron microscopy-Energy dispersive spectroscopy) were also performed.
Dry abrasive blast cleaning is a commonly used surface preparation method to achieve the necessary surface cleanliness and roughness for the application of high-performance protective coatings. The effectiveness of abrasive blast cleaning depends on various factors, and some studies have indicated that the blasting abrasive used to clean the surface is crucial for the performance of the coating. The previous work evaluated the performances of two liquid-applied epoxy pipeline coatings (coating A and coating B) applied to 15 different surfaces.

Adhesion is a physical property that is crucial in many coatings, sealants, and adhesive applications, be it automotive, marine, or aerospace for example. Pull-off adhesion testing is an important tool in evaluating a coating’s performance, particularly while comparing pre- and post-exposure results. No matter what the application, the method for testing adhesion along with selecting the appropriate testing criteria has been the subject of multiple studies and reviews in the historical literature.
Pull-off adhesion testing is widely used to assess the protective coating process. It is also used to determine if a coating is fit for service in new construction and for repairs to existing structures. The result is often critical to the acceptance or rejection of a coating process, as the adhesion value quoted by the paint manufacturer can be adversely affected by aspects of the coating process. Low adhesion values are indicative of premature failure of the coating and are often due to inadequate surface preparation of the substrate.
