Several types of vinyl ester coatings, known for their outstanding corrosion resistance properties, have been subjected to immersion and evaluated for corrosion resistance by electrochemical noise method (ENM) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The solution was chosen to emulate the water bottoms in fuel tanks. Electrochemical noise impedance method has been used to supplement the ENM and EIS techniques and for a better understanding of low-frequency behavior of given coating systems. The first three months of exposure data, including coatings resistance, impedance, corrosion development, visual degradation results, and correlation between various electrochemical measurements are discussed.
