What is a Corrosion Resistant Coating

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.

What is Corrosion Resistant Coating with Figure 1

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
