The document discusses the development of non-toxic pigment mixtures to enhance the anticorrosion efficiency of coatings. It aims to replace toxic chromates and lead pigments. The document introduces various types of anticorrosive pigments and their mechanisms of corrosion protection. It also discusses the synthesis of zinc ferrite nanoparticles via a precipitation method and their use in an anticorrosive paint formulation. Testing of the paint samples found that the zinc ferrite-based paint provided excellent resistance to water and salt water. The nanopigments allow for enhanced properties and better anticorrosion performance compared to conventional pigments.
