Anti-corrosion protection for metal and concrete

The annual losses to industry from corrosion amount to many millions of dollars, gigawatts of electricity, as well as carbon units spent on steel production.

One of the ancient methods to reduce these losses is by applying special coatings to metal surfaces. These coatings prevent oxygen from the air from oxidizing iron into its oxides. A thin layer of paint not only acts as a barrier between water, oxygen vapor, and the metal but also enhances the aesthetics and beauty of metal structures.

In addition to metal corrosion, there is also concrete corrosion. While concrete is resistant to water vapor, oxygen, and the passage of time, unfortunately, it begins to deteriorate under the influence of acids and alkalis. Numerous concrete structures, such as piers, air ducts, sewage tanks, floors in chemical plants, and bridges, are constantly exposed to the damaging effects of various chemicals, polluted or saltwater. Concrete corrosion can lead to bridge collapses, tank leaks, and other operational problems.
