Due to German policy an interim storage of radioactive waste during additional 30 years is needed. This requires a high standard of storage containers especially in terms of corrosion resistance. Silicon elastomeres (polysiloxanes) have favourable physical and chemical properties and seem to be appropriate for either outer or inner coating of storage containers.In this paper corrosion protection of different silicon coating systems has been investigated. The addition-curing polysiloxane RT622 (Wacker Chemie) was used for experiments. This is a low-viscosity material that could be modified by corrosion protecting pigments like zinc powder and micaceous iron ore. The pigment coatings assured better corrosion protection than unmodified silicon covering. Furthermore, the zinc powder caused the most notable improvement of corrosion protection. The best coating system consisted of a zinc paint and a polysiloxane coating. |
