Corrosion-resistant coatings are applied to metal parts to prevent corrosion. This type of coating can be made from substances such as zinc or iron and can be used as a base coat, primer or top coat by various techniques. It is commonly used to provide corrosion protection to structures such as pipes and concrete rebar.
Corrosion-resistant coatings can be modified to provide corrosion protection for a variety of substrates and corrosive environments. For example, chromium and cobalt alloys have excellent corrosion resistance. This type of coating can be applied at porosity levels below 1% to deter or deter corrosive attack.
Corrosion-resistant coatings help prevent degradation from oxidation, moisture, exposure to chemicals, and more. They provide additional protection for metal parts and act as a barrier to prevent contact between corrosive materials and compounds.
Some of the benefits of using corrosion resistant coatings include:
Corrosion Protection - Protects metal parts from erosion, heat and corrosion.
Reduces Friction - These coatings promote removal of mill scale, corrosion by-products and calcification. They can also help prevent sticking.
Surface Treatment - This also acts as a highly reliable surface treatment coating which allows for further painting or coating. It also contributes to excellent electrical isolation and adhesion.
Properties of corrosion-resistant coatings include:
Less surface preparation required
No primer required
Easy to dry, high structure can be achieved in just one coat
Meets environmental and state guidelines without compromising quality
Safe and reduce worker exposure to toxins
