Dutch Railways test anti corrosion paints for pigments
The Dutch State railways conducted experiments on pigment resistance to weather and sea water. Red bag paints resisted atmospheric changes better than brown iron oxide mixes due to elasticity and adhesion. Pickling plates in hydrochloric acid before painting increased corrosion protection. Magnesium proved most effective, not absorbing carbonic acid and shielding iron from galvanic action without harming anti fouling traits.
