Sumario:Epoxidized linseed oil (ELO) and kraft lignin (LnK) were used to obtain new sustainable composites as corrosion protection layers through a double-curing procedure involving UV radiation and thermal curing to ensure homogeneous distribution of the filler. The crosslinked structures were confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), by comparative monitorization of the absorption band at 825 cm<sup>−1</sup>, attributed to the stretching vibration of epoxy rings. Thermal degradation behavior under N2 gas indicates that the higher LnK content, the better thermal stability of the composites (over 30 °C of Td10% for ELO + 15% LnK), while for the experiment under air-oxidant atmosphere, the lower LnK content (5%) conducted to the more thermo-stable material. Dynamic-mechanic behavior and water affinity of the new materials were also investigated. The increase of the Tg values with the increase of the LnK content (20 °C for the composite with 15% LnK) denote the reinforcement effect of the LnK, while the surface and bulk water affinity were not dramatically affected. All the obtained composites were tested as carbon steel corrosion protection coatings, resulting in significant increase of corrosion inhibition efficiency (IE) of 140–380%, highlighting the great potential of the bio-based ELO-LnK composites as a future perspective for industrial application.
