Abstract

A method for testing lacquer coatings in seawater is developed. This method enables one to predict the cohesion and adhesion strength of these coatings under conditions close to operating. The mechanical strength of the coatings is estimated with the help of a dimensionless parameter. Within the framework of the proposed testing method, one can also investigate the kinetic properties and other characteristics of fracture of lacquer coatings by using an optical technique and photography.
