ROCHA, J. A.; VELARDE, J.  and  ROZOVIC, I.. Performance tests to select paint schemes in la Paz and Santa Cruz atmospheres. Corros. Prot. Mater. [online]. 2007, vol.26, n.4, pp.122-128. ISSN 0870-1164.

During three years starting December of 2000, carried out performance tests of 48 paint schemes in La Paz and Santa Cruz cities in Bolivia, inside the IIMETMAT-UMSA/Monopol Project. Based on the results of atmosphere characterization, carried out at the same time of the performance tests, it is possible to ratify the environmental differences between these two cities. As product of these environmental differences, the performance of paint schemes were in the same way. It represents a very important knowledge when the selection of paints schemes must to do, for use in one of these two atmospheres.
