Abstract
Different methods have been carried out to prepare barium metaborate pigments and to find out the suitable method of preparation taking into account ease of industrial application and the yield of the product. The properties of the prepared pigments were tested and compared with those of the commercial pigment. The solubility of the prepared pigment was found to be high and needed to be decreased. Many different methods of treatment were used and six grades of barium metaborate pigment were obtained. It was found that the addition of silicate to the prepared pigments has decreased their solubilities.

Abstract
Seventy paints were prepared, based on six grades of laboratory prepared barium metaborate pigments. The paints could be classified into three groups according to the type of the binder; each group comprises seven sub‐groups. The paints were tested first in the laboratory and then in actual environment (above and under sea water). Commercial barium metaborate (Busan 11‐M1) based‐paints were prepared and used as a blank.

Abstract
Modified barium metaborate (BMB) was originally developed and patented as a mould inhibitor for oleoresinous systems. It was noted from exposures on our test fence that the product exhibited definite corrosion inhibiting properties. Through this observation further studies were initiated and it was determined that BMB was an excellent corrosion inhibitor in both latex and oleoresinous systems. Its effectiveness as a corrosion inhibitor is usually attributed to (1) its alkalinity which neutralizes the acidity of weathered paint films and which may reduce the reactivity of metal substrates, and (2) the metaborate ion which passivates the anode in essentially the same manner as the chromate ion.
