Abstract

The salt deposition rate on the surface of different fibre-reinforced plastics and standard samples of «wet candles» and «dry plates» during the exposure in a seaside atmosphere in various distances from the sea has been studied. During one year of the exposure, the content of different ions on the surface of the samples was determined by the capillary electrophoresis method. The dependence of the salt content on the surface of various samples on the duration of winds, blowing from the sea, and surface roughness profile of materials, was established.
