Providing Protection against Corrosion


Why is there a need for corrosion-resistant coating? It helps protect metal against degradation that results due to moisture, oxidation, salt spray or exposure to industrial or environmental chemicals. Corrosion-resistant coating provides additional protection to metal surfaces and prohibits contact corrosive materials and chemical compounds.

What are some of the benefits?
Corrosion-resistant coatings serve a purpose as they ensure metal components last longer than the time span they are given. Considering metal component operate in harsh applications, these corrosion-resistant coatings provide like no other. including Some of these coatings are made from the unique fluoropolymer coating which acts as a protection against extreme chemical applications for a long time, thereby ensuring proper functioning for a long period of time.Some of the corrosion-resistant coatings available include corrosion resistant steel coatings, that helps match the performance requirements of an application.

Global demand
Corrosion and its various forms costs the global economy $3 trillion per year. The present world market size corrosion-resistant coatings has crossed the $12 billion mark. With an increasing demand for mining and energy resources, the market growth is expected to be around 4.5% per annum.
Also, there has been a growth in nanocoatings owing to their ability to provide chemical and abrasion resistance with excellent adhesion, while also meeting regulatory requirements. Some of the main growth markets include water filtration and treatment, wind turbine coatings and oil and gas pipeline coatings.
It should also be noted that there is a burgeoning market for budget-friendly non-epoxy-based corrosion-resistant coatings. These coating are in demand because they provide protection against temperature swings, road salt and acid. Therefore, metals that come in contact with this kind of corrosive materials could do with some added coating.
