Corrosion Resistant Coatings

To prevent galvanic corrosion in iron and steel alloys coatings made from zinc and aluminum are helpful.

Corrosion resistant coatings. Some of the corrosion resistant coatings for steel that are applicable in various situations include. The salt spray resistant coatings some which meet up to 1000 hours of resistance can also prevent galvanic corrosion when dissimilar metals are in contact with each other. Provides the most widely used corrosion protection coatings in the industry including our one of a kind fluorokote 1 a unique fluoropolymer coating with resistance to extreme chemical applications for maximum run life whether the components are used in harsh off shore. Coatings with anti corrosive properties ensure metal components have the longest possible lifespan.

The cost of this added protection is the thickness added and that produced aesthetic effects are not as attractive and not consistent across material. Corrosion resistant coatings for metal vary depending on the kind metal involved and the kind of corrosion prevention needed. Coatings are thick which adds bulky layers usually upwards for 80μm that substantially increase the corrosion resistance of a material. Sacrificial coatings contain certain elements such as aluminum or zinc which oxidize sacrificially to ensure that the substrate remains corrosion free.

They are especially useful for rust protection saltwater protection and resistance to detrimental weather conditions.
