Conclusions
The protective function of strontium chromate pigment in the epoxy prime coat on the galvanized steel is manifested simultaneously with penetration of the corrosive medium to the metal surface and consists of an increase (by an order of magnitude) in polarization resistance and inhibition of corrosion of the galvanized steel at the places of through defects of the polymer coating.
