Abstract

A paint for use on surfaces subject to lightning strikes includes a film-forming binder and a pigment, the pigment comprising at least one alkali metal salt or alkaline earth metal salt with a low first ionization potential, of a mono- or polyfunctional organic acid, carbonic acid or a polymer having an acidic group, the pigment being present in an amount sufficient to render the paint ionizable under the action of a strong electric current.
