Salt Spray and Marine Environment Corrosion
topic
Salt fog testing exposes conductive textile specimens, metallic fibre composites, and coated technical fabrics to continuous 5% sodium chloride fog at elevated temperature in a standardised chamber, measuring corrosion of metallic elements, coating delamination, and changes in electrical conductivity or mechanical properties after defined exposure durations.
Role
Validates the corrosion resistance of conductive textiles, marine awning fabrics, and stainless steel fibre composites intended for coastal or marine environments where salt-induced corrosion of metallic textile components or coating systems is the primary durability limitation.
