The Problem of Corrosion
Corrosion is a global trillion-dollar problem that affect everything made of steel or aluminum.
Owners of metal structures, such as ships, oil & gas platforms, bridges, factories, chemical plants and the defense industry, spend billions of dollars on corrosion related maintenance.
Coatings are the primary line of defense against corrosion but deteriorate over time due to aging, sunlight and physical damage.
Corrosion inhibitors and anticorrosive pigments can extend the corrosion protection performance of coatings. But with the phaseout of highly effective chromates, zinc and phosphate compounds are now the workhorse materials. But they are not sufficient and there are no suitable alternatives, until now….
