Received 20 May 2009 In this study, a fusion bonded epoxy primer is applied on mirror-polished steel and immersed at 60 ◦ C Received in revised form 28 July 2009 in deionised water. A correlation is then made between the time of diffusion of water through the primer Accepted 4 August 2009 to the steel epoxy interface and the adhesion loss after immersion evaluated by pull-off test. First, a water diffusion and permeability study on epoxy primer films has been performed to achieve Keywords: accurate estimation of the time needed for water to reach the interface. Then, adhesion tests after ageing Adhesion of the epoxy primer applied on steel were used to estimate the time associated to
