Abstract

A method and composition for corrosion protection of a structure is provided. In one disclosed embodiment, a polysiloxane ureide which inhibits corrosion formation on a surface of a physical object is provided. The polysiloxane ureide has a backbone including, (i) at least one diamine-terminated polysiloxane as disclosed; (ii) at least one aromatic diamine; and, (iii) at least one diisocyanate. In another disclosed embodiment, there is provided a polyureide which inhibits corrosion formation on a surface of a physical object. The polyureide comprises: (i) at least one aliphatic diamine; (ii) at least one aromatic diamine; and, (iii) at least one diisocyanate.
