Corrosionpedia Explains Calcium Sulfonate Alkyd

Calcium sulfonate alkyd paints are applied to steel structures when it is difficult or impractical to remove existing lead based paints. A calcium sulfonate alkyd top coat prolongs the lifespan of aged galvanized and rusted steel structures. Calcium sulfonate alkyd can be applied to bridges, power transmission cables, storage tanks, utility towers and the steel used in buildings.

These special paints are self priming, surface tolerant, and are applied by airless spray, HVLP, brush or roller. This is a high building coat designed for low chemical exposure.
