Corrosion issues have been clearly marked in modern sciences as one of the factors that can trigger economic costs, technological delays as well as structural failures. The high content of pigment volume concentration (PVC) in organic coating offered better cathodic protection by sacrificed its active pigment to form a barrier protection to protect the steel from corroded. However, this technique came with several problems such as adhesion problem due to the low content of the binder, poor mechanical properties and a porous film which allowed the corrosive element to penetrate the coating layer thus, corroding the steel. Fly ash was introduced as new filler in this research to replaced kaolin in the coating due to the high content of alumina and silica compared to kaolin. The objectives of this research include comparing the formulated organic coating (kaolin as filler) with the commercial spray (corrosion factor 60) and to study the effectiveness of the parameters that influence the corrosion behaviour by using One Factor at Time (OFAT) method. The protection offered was compared among the formulated organic coatings (kaolin) and commercial spray. The parameters used in the OFAT method are PVC, the concentration of fly ash and the layers of the coatings. The adhesion observation was used to test the success and effectiveness of the coating formulation. The corrosion behaviour of the coating was studied by using electrochemical measurements and immersion test.
