Abstract

Corrosion is well known problem that can caused degradation to structure and materials thus contribute to various losses. Historically, protective coating is an effective approach to be used on corroded surfaces of materials which exposed unpredicted environmental condition. In engineering,, material or structure need to be maintained are mainly to prevent failure at the same time to reduced cost spend along maintenance process. The need of study on coating capabilities and recommendation of their wide used for protection on materials in variety condition surely will be important criteria in maintenance strategy. Through this requirement, some coating type was applied on representing sample surface in this study. These samples were exposed to variety environmental condition along selected location. The result obtained from mechanical test after exposure show that each coating has its significant capabilities as a surface protection which is depends on what kind of environment they were applied to sample. Coating from Heavyguard brand shows it is suitable to be applied for sample at Location1 and 2 for good mechanical properties result. Meanwhile at Location 3 coating from Unilux brand result most suitable coating to be applied for sample surfaces to obtain good mechanical properties of sample. With different of temperature and humidity at for each location, these coatings show its own protective characteristics and the selection which is most suitable depends on the temperature and humidity at location they were used.
