Objective. This study investigates the corrosion resistance of a complex paint-and-varnish coating applied to protect markings on pre-painted pipes. The aim is to select the optimal coating material for the corrosion protection of pre-painted and pre-marked pipes. Methods. The subject of the study is a set of paint-and-varnish materials applied to carbon steel pipes to protect their markings. Standard methods were used to assess the coatings’ corrosion resistance, adhesion to the pipe surface, and abrasion resistance. Results. It was found that F410SP, SIGMAFAST 40, Alpina Yachtlack, Helios MIKS, and SK-1 possess the required corrosion resistance and adhesive strength for use as protective coatings for carbon pipe markings. Considering material consumption and drying time, Helios MIKS and SK-1 are recommended for industrial application. Scientific novelty. This study is the first to examine the effectiveness of transparent paint-and-varnish coatings for the anti-corrosion and mechanical protection of carbon pipe markings. These coatings provide long-term durability, legibility, and preservation of the markings during transportation, storage, and operation under harsh conditions, while also withstanding high temperatures, humidity, and UV exposure. When other marking methods are not feasible, the optimal selection of protective coating properties is essential to ensure the integrity of the surface layer without creating stress concentration zones or corrosion-prone areas. Practical significance. The study provides objective data on the potential for industrial use of paint-and-varnish materials available on the Ukrainian market to protect markings on carbon pipes.
