AN  INVESTIGATION  OF  THE  PROTECTIVE  VALUES  OF  STRUC- 
TURAL STEEL  PAINTS. 

This  investigation  was  undertaken  at  the  special  request  of  the 
Iowa  State  Highway  Commission  who  were  in  need  of  reliable  data 
on  the  comparative  protective  properties  of  various  prepared  paints 
when  properly  applied  to  structural  steel  exposed  to  normal  atmos- 
pheric conditions.  Its  purpose  was  primarily  to  analyze  most  of  the 
paints  then  in  common  use  for  painting  highway  structures  to  deter- 
mine their  suitability  for  this  purpose,  from  a  laboratory  standpoint. 
So  many  technical  points  arose  concerning  the  effect  of  the  various 
combinations  that  actual  service  tests  of  panels  coated  with  various 
paints  were  found  to  be  highly  desirable. 

It  must  be  kept  in  mind  that  in  specifying  paints  for  structural  steel, 
or  for  almost  any  other  purpose,  the  quality  of  both  vehicle  and  pig 
ment  must  be  considered.  The  vehicle  determines  the  life,  elasticity 
and  imperviousness  of  the  film  while  the  pigment  adds  strength  to 
the  film  and  increases  or  decreases  the  tendency  of  the  metal  to  cor- 
rode according  to  the  stimulative  or  inhibitive  character  of  the  pig- 
ment. 

In  general  the  pigment  of  the  paint  applied  as  a  first  coat  on  steel 
would  be  strongly  inhibitive  and  the  proportion  of  the  pigment  to 
vehicle  should  be  greater  than  in  subsequent  coats. 

The  following  is  a  list  of  some  of  the  inhibitive  pigments  arranged 
in  the  approximate  order  of  their  apparent  decreasing  inhibitiveness : 

Zinc  chromate 

Basic  lead  chromate 

Red  lead 

Sublimed  blue  lead~~ 

Sublimed  lead  sulfate 

Leaded  zinc 

Basic  lead  carbonate 

Cement 

Lithophone 
Some  principal  stimulative  pigments  are : — 

Graphite 

Carbon  (other  than  willow  carbon  and  bone  black) 

Calcium  sulfate   (gypsum) 

Ultramarine  blue 

Prussian  blue 
Some  principal  inert  pigments  are : — 

Silica 
"Magnesium  silicates 

Calcium  carbonate 

Crystalline  barium  sulfate 

China  clay 

Mineral  black

Theoretically,  the  best  protective  paint  coating  for  structural  steel 
would  be  obtained  by  applying  a  paint  rich  in  inhibitive  pigment  as 
a  first  coat  and  subsequently  covering  this  with  one  or  more  coats  of 
a  paint  less  rich  in  pigment  but  containing  a  considerable  amount  of 
inert  pigment. 

The  analogy  which  R.  S.  Perry*  has  drawn  between  a  scientifically 
prepared  paint  and  a  well  proportioned  concrete  in  the  formulation 
of  his  Law  of  Minimum  Voids,  is  valuable  as  a  guide  in  preparing  a 
specification  for  a  protective  paint  coating  for  structural  steel.  The 
following  summary  of  Perry's  Theory  is  sufficient  to  show  the  close 
similarity  between  concrete  and  a  paint  film : 

Law  No.  1.  The  law  of  minimum  voids  to  be  observed  in  constructing  a  paint 
formula.  This  law  has  already  been  accepted  as  mathematically  correct  and 
technically  proved  in  the  technology  of  concrete  and  cement. 

Corollary.  The  requisite  thickness  of  a  paint  film  together  with  the  utmost 
attainable  strength  and  impermeability  can  best  be  obtained  by  a  properly  pro- 
portioned blend  of  pigments  of  three  or  more  determinate  sizes. 

Law  No.  2.  The  law  of  the  flat  arch  in  paint  coating,  i.  e.,  the  fact  that,  in 
studying  the  fundamental  physical  principles  governing  the  strength  and  dura- 
bility of  a  paint  coating,  it  is  necessary  to  regard  the  coating  as  consisting  of  a 
series  of  flat  arches,  in  which  the  pigment  particles  of  largest  characteristic 
size  serve  as  the  piers  or  supports  for  the  flat  arches  of  which  the  continuous 
film  is  composed. 

Corollary  A.  The  strength  and  durability  of  a  paint  coating  is  determined  by 
the  strength  and  durability  of  the  piers  or  supports,  which  consist  of  the  char- 
acteristic pigment  particles  of  the  largest  size. 

Corollary  B.  Owing  to  their  inherent  strength  and  durability  the  pigment 
particles  of  largest  characteristic  size  which  serve  as  supports  for  the  paint 
coating  should  consist,  in  part  at  least,  of  chemically  inert  pigments,  such  as 
asbestine,  silica,  and  china  clay. 

Corollary  C.  It  follows  directly  that  the  thickness  of  a  paint  coating  is  de- 
termined by  the  particles  of  pigments  having  the  largest  characteristic  size, 
even  if  that  pigment  be  present  only  in  moderate  percentage.  Upon  this  prin- 
ciple depends  the  comparatively  great  thickness  of  film  and  moderate  spreading 
rate  of  paints  composed  of  such  pigments  as  basic  carbonate — white  lead,  red 
lead,  barytes,  etc.,  and  the  strongly  contrasted  thinness  of  film  and  high  spread- 
ing rate  of  paints  composed  of  the  sublimated  pigment  such  as  lamp  black, 
sublimed  blue  lead,  zinc  oxide,  basic  sulphate,  white  lead,  zinc  lead  white,  and 
leaded  zinc. 

Since  the  advancement  of  the  above  principles  and  their  acceptance 
by  paint  manufacturers,  the  manufacture  of  prepared  paints  should 
no  longer  be  a  rule  of  thumb  process  but  rather  a  scientific  process. 
Because  of  this  fact  and  the  recognition  of  the  principle  that  scien- 
tific preparation  on  a  large  scale  is  conducive  to  the  production  of 
better  and  more  standard  products,  it  was  considered  desirable  to 
carry  on  this  investigation  by  using  standard  paints  manufactured 
by  reputable  concerns  rather  than  to  attempt  to  produce  paints  on  a 
small  scale,  which  could  not  be  considered  strictly  standard. 

All  of  the  paints  used  may  be  readily  obtained  on  the  market  and 
the  results  here  obtained  can  be  duplicated  to  a  reasonable  degree,  if 
these  same  paints  were  again  applied  under  similar  conditions.

DESCRIPTION  OF  TESTS 

Metal  for  Panels.  Mild  steel  sheets  of  No.  10  gauge  were  freed 
from  all  mill  scale  by  means  of  the  sand  blast.  These  sheets  were  fin- 
ally cut  to  produce  the  final  test  panel,  one  foot  square.  Panels  129 
to  136B  inclusive  were  not  sand  blasted  before  being  painted. 

Types  of  Paint  Used.  Various  paint  manufacturers  were  requested 
to  submit  samples  of  their  standard  paints  recommended  for  struc- 
tural steel  coatings  for  both  shop  and  field  coats.  These  paints  were 
analyzed  completely  in  regard  to  the  pigment  and  in  a  general  way 
in  regard  to  the  quality  of  vehicle.  The  results  of  these  analysis  to- 
gether with  the  name  of  manufacturer  (when  known),  the  date  when 
panel  was  first  exposed  to  the  weather,  the  trade  name  or  number  of 
the  paint,  and  other  like  information  will  be  found  in  Table  I. 

Method  of  Painting1.  Each  panel  was  given  two  coats,  allowing  one 
week  or  more  for  the  first  coat  to  dry  thoroly  before  applying  the 
subsequent  coat.  Each  coat  was  well  brushed  with  a  No.  2  round 
brush  in  order  to  produce  a  uniform  coating.  All  painting  was  done 
under  cover  at  fairly  warm  summer  temperature  and  the  panels  were 
allowed  to  stand  until  they  were  thoroly  dry,  when  they  were  exposed 
to  weather  conditions  in  a  vertical  position  with  an  east  and  west 
exposure.  Various  combinations  of  paints  for  shop  and  field  coats 
were  made,  but  the  combination  recommended  by  the  manufacturer 
was  always  used  for  one  or  more  panels  when  such  a  combination  was 
recommended  or  could  be  assumed  naturally. 

Weather  Conditions.  The  weather  conditions  during  the  time  the 
panels  have  been  exposed  have  been  normal  for  Iowa.  The  samples 
have  been  exposed  to  severe  cold,  ice  sheet,  blizzards,  hail  storms,  sleet, 
rain,  wind  and  extreme  heat. 

Inspections.  Two  complete  inspections  have  been  made.  After 
from  one  and  one-half  to  two  years  exposure,  microphotographs  of 
each  panel  were  taken,  copies  of  which  are  shown  herewith. 

In  May,  1917,  a  thoro  inspection  of  each  panel  was  made,  the  results 
of  which  are  given  in  Table  II :  Another  inspection  was  made  in  May, 
1918,  the  results  being  tabulated  in  Table  III. 

In  the  inspection  reports,  the  panels  are  rated  on  a  scale  of  10,  based 
upon  the  degree  to  which  the  metal  has  been  protected  from  cor- 
rosion by  the  paint  film.  This  rating  is,  of  course,  only  approximate 
as  it  is  purely  a  personal  estimate.  While  some  panels  have  shown 
rust  early  in  the  test,  the  surface  and  nature  of  the  rusting  may 
be  such  as  can  be  remedied  by  repainting.  Again  rusting  may  have 
appeared  later  in  the  test  but  is  of  such  a  nature  that  it  can  be 
remedied  only  with  difficulty.  These  two  cases  are  typical  of  two 
classes  of  paint. 

Sublimed  lead  sulfate,  sublimed  blue  lead  and  white  lead  illustrate 
the  former  case  in  that  the  rusting  begins  in  the  checks  and  is  of

a  soft,  powdery  nature  easily  removed  by  brushing  before  repainting. 
The  latter  case  is  typical  of  graphite,  carbon,  and  some  grades  of  iron 
oxide  paints,  particularly  those  containing  large  amounts  of  gypsum 
or  whiting.  Here  rusting  usually  begins  under  the  paint  film  and  is 
not  noticeable  until  it  has  progressed  so  far  as  to  make  it  necessary  to 
remove  the  paint  film  entirely  by  burning  and  scraping  or  sand 
blasting  before  the  rusting  can  be  arrested  and  the  surface  satis- 
factorily repainted.  This  was  taken  into  consideration  in  rating 
the  panels.  In  fact,  the  condition  in  which  a  paint  leaves  the  surface 
for  future  repainting  should  be  a  prime  consideration  in  selecting 
paint  for  any  purpose. 

ANALYSIS  OF  INSPECTION  DATA 

Coal  tar  paints  proved  to  be  absolutely  worthless  as  a  steel  coating. 
In  every  case  they  checked  and  alligatored  badly  and  developed  cor- 
rosion of  the  metal  very  early  in  the  test.  Furthermore,  it  is  impossible 
to  repaint  over  coal  tar  paint  unless  the  same  type  of  paint  is  used. 
Consequently,  in  order  to  repaint  with  a  good  oil  paint  it  is  necessary 
to  burn  and  scrap  off  all  old  paint.  This  condition  is  enough  in 
itself  to  exclude  coal  tar  paints  as  a  coating  for  steel  structures  exposed 
to  the  ordinary  atmospheric  agents.  This  type  of  paint  does,  how- 
ever, serve  admirably  under  some  conditions  where  linseed  oil  paint 
would  not  hold  up  at  all;  namely  for  coating  under  ground  pipes, 
warm  smoke  stacks,  etc.  Note  panels  34,  129,  130  and  133  for  this 
class  of  paint. 

Asphaltic  base  paints  are  similar  to  coal  tar  paints  but  do  furnish 
considerable  protection  if  properly  made.  Panels  No.  1,  104  and  49 
were  coated  with  a  paint  containing  an  asphaltic  base  and  are  still 
giving  good  protection.  However,  panels  23,  124  and  125  coated 
with  asphaltic  base  paints,  have  failed  completely  and  must  be  burned, 
scraped  and  repainted.  Gilsonite  paint  produces  a  brittle  film  which 
allows  water  to  pass  through  to  the  metal;  then  corrosion  proceeds 
rapidly. 

While  there  may  be  some  good  asphaltic  base  paints,  as  a  class 
they  should  not  be  used  as  structural  steel  coatings  without  a  thoro 
service  test. 

Carbon  paints  are  very  serviceable  and  when  properly  and 
scientifically  prepared  produce  a  very  elastic  and  impervious  film. 
However,  the  results  of  these  tests  show  that  this  class  of  paint  should 
not  be  used  as  the  first  coat  on  metal,  as  rusting,  altho  delayed  for 
several  years,  will  begin  beneath  the  paint  film  unless  very  careful 
attention  is  paid  to  keeping  the  surface  repaifited.  As  a  field  coat 
carbon  paints  are  very  valuable.  See  panels  1,  14,  17,  30,  36,  81,  108 
and  134. 

What  has  been  said  of  carbon  paints  is  also  true  of  graphite  paints. 
While  some  panels  which  were  painted  with  graphite  as  the  first  coat 
are  still  in  good  condition,  the  same  paint  on  other  panels  has

allowed  rusting  to  develop  so  rapidly  that  the  panel  should  be  burned 
and  scraped  for  repainting.  Graphite  paints  are  excellent  for  field 
coats.  See  panels  3,  5,  7,  9,  38,  44,  45,  60,  64,  47,  51,  56,  60,  62,  64,  65, 
68,  69,  70,  73,  78,  79,  80,  86,  87,  88,  89,  90,  94,  103,  105,  and  106. 

Red  lead  paints  have  proved  to  be  excellent  for  first  coats  but  as 
they  discolor,  fade  and  chalk  badly  they  should  be  covered  with  a 
good  field  coat.  It  is  also  evident  that  red  lead  should  not  be  diluted 
with  more-than  25  per  cent  of  inert  silicates  and  that  calcium  carbonate 
injures  its  protective  power  if  present  in  too  large  amounts.  Set 
panel  27.  The  higher  degree  of  purity  of  red  lead  the  longer  it  will 
keep  its  natural  color.  There  is  no  panel,  however,  with  a  final  red  lead 
coat  which  did  not  fade  badly  within  a  year  and  a  half.  See  panels 
3,  4,  6,  8,  10,  16,  25,  27,  37,  40,  42,  46,  51,  56,  57,  84,  100,  110,  115. 

Sublimed  blue  and  white  lead  paints  have  a  strong  tendency  to 
check  and  chalk  and  because  of  this  fact,  rusting  often  begins  in 
from  two  to  three  years.  This  rusting  is  easily  remedied  by  brushing 
and  repainting  so  that  the  objection  does  not  have  the  importance 
it  would  if  the  surface  were  not  left  in  this  good  condition  for  repaint- 
ing. For  field  coats,  this  class  of  paints  has  not  proved  altogether 
satisfactory  because  of  the  soft  chalky  film  which  they  produce  and 
the  necessity  for  frequent  repainting. 

For  sublimed  blue  lead  see  panels  9,  11,  20,  22,  24,  41,  39,  43,  45, 
47,  61,  82,  87,  90,  92,  95,  101,  105,  111,  123  and  131. 

For  sublimed  lead  sulfate  see  panels  19,  39,  59,  63,  85  and  89. 

What  has  been  said  of  sublimed  blue  and  white  lead  is  also  true 
of  white  lead  and  white  lead  and  zinc.  See  panels  16,  18,  24,  33,  54 
and  75. 

Iron  oxide  paint  is  probably  the  most  extensively  adulterated  class 
of  paint.  The  natural  oxide  has  such  a  high  coloring  power  that 
large  amounts  of  gypsum  and  whiting  are  used  in  compounding  the 
cheap  grades  of  iron  oxide  paints.  The  results  of  the  service  tests 
show  that  such  additions  sacrifice  the  quality  of  the  paint  to  such  an 
extent  as  to  make  them  worthless  for  structural  steel  coatings, 
whereas  if  the  natural  oxides  are  used  without  such  addition  this  class 
of  paints  is  very  serviceable.  See  panels  6,  11,  13,  26,  29,  31,  32,  35, 
36,  41,  43,  48,  53,  55,  56,  74,  76,  78,  91,  92,  93,  99,  101,  102, 112  and  126. 

Certain  mixed  pigments  gave  very  good  results.  A  graphite  pigment 
to  which  20  per  cent  of  zinc  or  lead  chromate  has  been  added  makes  a 
very  good  and  serviceable  shop  coat  over  which  an  ordinary  graphite 
paint  may  be  used.  See  panels  5  and  50.  Other  combinations,  such  as 
carbon  with  the  addition  of  lead  oxide  or  lead  sulfate,  give  fair  results. 
See  panels  14,  15, 17,  20,  108  and  134. 

CONCLUSIONS 

The  tests  have  demonstrated  that : 

1.  Too  much  emphasis  cannot  be  placed  upon  the  fact  that  gypsum 
and  whiting  are  harmful  when  present  .to  a  much  greater  extent  than 


12

13 

5  per  cent  of  the  pigment.  In  every  case  where  these  materials  have 
been  present  to  a  considerable  extent  the  paint  has  failed  to  protect 
and  rusting  usually  begins  underneath  the  film. 

2.  It  is  not  safe  to  use  carbon  and  graphite  paints  for  the  first  coat 
on  steel. 

3.  Coal  tar  paints  are  worthless  for  structural  steel  exposed  to  the 
atmosphere  under  ordinary  conditions. 

4.  Asphaltic  base  paints  as  a  class  should  not  be    specified    as    a 
general  structural  steel  coating  altho  those  which  have  withstood  a  good 
service  test  may  be  specified  individually. 

5.  (a)     Red  lead,  sublimed  blue  lead,  subilmed  lead  sulfate  and 
zinc  and  lead  whites  are  very  effective  for  first  coats  and  produce  good 
surfaces  for  repainting. 

(b)  Frequent  repainting  is  necessary  when  they  are  used  for  field 
coats. 

6.  Red  lead,  sublimed  blue  lead,  sublimed  lead  sulfate,  zinc  lead 
white,  white  lead  or  leaded  zinc  pigments  are  always  safe  pigments  for 
a  shop  coat  paint. 

7.  (a)     Pure  iron  oxide  paints  may  be  safely  used  for  a  shop  coat 
but  should  preferably  be  mixed  with  about  10  per  cent  zinc  or  lead 
chromate. 

(b)  Iron  oxide  paints  containing  gypsum  or  whiting  in  any  consider- 
able extent  are  not  serviceable  for  either  shop  or  field  coats  on  struc- 
tural steel. 

8.  There  are  certain  carbon  paints  on  the  market  which  produce 
such  a  strong,  elastic,  and  impermeable  film  that  they  may  be  used  for 
both  shop  or  field  coats  for  structural  steel,  providing  the  painting  is 
done  in  a  thoroly  good,  workmanlike  manner. 

9.  Graphite  or  carbon  paints,  the  pigment  of  which  contains  20  per 
cent  of  basic  lead  chromate,  zinc  chromate,  lead  oxide  or  sublimed  lead 
sulfate,  are  good  shop  coat  paints,  and  also  prove  very  serviceable  for 
field  coats. 

10.  (a)    The  paint  specifications*  now  being  used  by  the  Iowa  State 
Highway  Commission  for  structural  steel  bridges  are  good  and  when 
followed  strictly  will  produce  good  preservative  coatings  for  the  steel 
structures. 

(b)  More  attention  should  be  given  to  the  time  and  manner  of 
repainting  both  old  and  new  structures. 

(c)  There  is  some  indication  that  china  wood  oil  should  be  excluded 
as  a  vehicle  for  structural  steel  paints  because  of  the  fact  that  vehicles 
composed  largely  of  this  oil  increase  the  tendency  to  check. 

As  a  result  of  this  investigation  and  of  subsequent  chemical  analyses 
the  Iowa  State  Highway  Commission  has  formulated  a  list  of  paints 
which  are  known  to  be  satisfactory  for  highway  bridges.  This  list  is 
reproduced  in  Appendix  I  hereafter. 

*Reprinted  herein  as  Appendix  II.

APPENDIX  II 
Standard  Specifications  for  Highway  Bridge  Paints 

IOWA  STATE  HIGHWAY  COMMISSION 

Two  classes  of  paint  are  considered  in  these  specifications;  Shop  Coat  and  Field  Coat.  One 
shop  or  prime  coat  and  one  field  coat  of  paint  shall  be  applied  in  conformity  with  the  following 
requirements  : 

Metal  Must  Be  Clean  Before  Shop  Coat  is  Put  On.  —  All  metal  work  (including  railings)  shall 
be  cleaned  from  all  rust,  scale,  dirt  or  grease  before  the  shop  coat  of  paint  is  applied.  If 
rust,  which  in  the  opinion  of  the  inspector  cannot  be  removed  is  found  on  any  piece,  that  piece 
shall  be  rejected.  All  parts  which  come  in  contact  shall  be  painted  before  they  are  rivited  to- 
gether. After  assembling  and  riveting,  the  metal  work  thoroughly  clean  and  dry,  and  before 
leaving  the  shop,  shall  be  painted  carefully  with  one  coat  of  one  of  the  hereinafter  specified 
prime  coat  paints.  Parts  not  accessible  after  erection  shall  be  painted  two  coats.  While 
metal  work  is  being  erected  in  place  all  abraisons  of  the  original  paint  and  all  rivet  and  bolt 
heads  and  location  marks  must  be  cleaned  and  painted,  preparatory  to  the  second  coat. 

Protecting  Machined  Surfaces.  —  Machined  surfaces  shall  be  coated  with  white  lead  and  tallow 
before  shipment  or  before  being  placed  in  the  open. 

Paint  for  Shop  Coat.  —  The  pigment  of  the  paint  to  be  used  as  the  shop  or  prime  coat  shall  be 
one  of  the  following  according  to  the  final  tint  or  color  required  by  the  engineer. 

1.  Pure    Red    Lead. 

2.  Pure   Sublimed   Blue  Lead. 

3.  Pure  Sublimated  Sulfate  of  Lead. 

4.  Basic  Lead  or  Zinc   Chromate.

substances  foreign  to  the  various  pigments  such  as  silica,  silicates,  and  other  inert  materials 
or  impurities. 

No  shop  painting  shall  be  done  in  wet  or  freezing  weather  unless  such  painting  is  done 
under  cover  where  the  conditions  are  such  that  no  moisture  will  condense  on  the  surface  of  the 
steel  and  where  the  temperature  of  the  atmosphere  will  be  above  45  degrees  for  at  leait  10 
hours  per  day. 

One  Coat  of  Field  Paint  After  Erection.  —  After  the  structure  is  complete  in  place,  touched 
up  as  described  above  and  cleaned  of  dirt,  grease,  or  oil  that  may  have  accvjmulated  during 
erection,  one  coat  of  one  of  the  hereinafter  specified  field  coat  paints  shall  be  applied  to  all 
accessible  parts. 

No  field  painting  shall  be  done  in  wet  weather  or  when  the  temperature  of  the  atmosphere 
is  not  above  45  degrees  F.  for  at  least  10  hours  per  day.

Samples  for  Testing. — Before  ordering  the  paint,  a  sample  of  at  least  one  quart  shall  be 
furnished  the  engineer,  which  sample,  if  approved,  will  be  used  in  determining  the  merits 
of  the  paint  furnished  on  the  work.  All  paint  used  must  equal  the  sample  in  quality. 

Samples  of  the  paint  delivered  at  the  shop  and  in  the  field  shall  be  furnished  the  engineer 
by  the  contractor.  These  samples  shall  be  tested  at  the  laboratory  of  the  Iowa  Highway  Com-
