Guide on Direct-to-Metal Coatings for Construction Applications from Cortec
Cortec® MCI® has released a new coatings guide designed specifically for the building maintenance and construction industries. The two-page handout gives a quick intro to Cortec Micro-Corrosion Inhibiting Coatings™ Technology before explaining the basics on how and where to apply which coatings. The guide is here to help engineers, contractors and maintenance crews easily protect structural steel and metal equipment around their facility or construction site.
Construction sites and facilities have many metal structures and equipment components that need protection — from structural steel to steel plates, from metal platforms to stairs and banisters, from metal HVAC components to decorative architecture. Depending on the surrounding environment (e.g., outdoors vs. indoors), some will be at higher risk of corrosion and require heavy-duty protection. Others may need a simple layer of paint to improve appearance and delay gradual oxidation. This quick guide helps simplify coatings selection so workers can protect their assets with a good coating combo for each specific application.
