Measuring the effectiveness of corrosion coatings is achievable. These coatings protect the substrate from stains and scratches and make them easier to clean, but how is that measured, and against what benchmark?
CIN presents a certified system for corrosive environments for categories C3 with very high durability, C4 with high durability, and C5 with medium durability. The tests were approved by an accredited external laboratory that certified that the performance of the C-THERM® S100 intumescent remains unchanged even after aging tests under conditions specified in ISO 12944-6:2017.
AmCoat’s Rhino Rust Bond, a 100% solids epoxy primer, can be used to encapsulate rusted metal surfaces when sandblasting is not practical or cost effective.
Cortec® Corporation is proud to be named a BioPreferred® Program Champion in recognition of its involvement in the USDA BioPreferred Program, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.
Researchers at the Saint Petersburg Electrotechnical University, LETI, have developed a “digital twin” that will form the basis for creating energy-efficient equipment for applying protective coatings to metal structures of any size using strong electromagnetic fields.
Co-blending Intelli-ion anti-corrosives with phosphate-based systems offers a step-change alternative that enhances current coating systems without changes to the manufacturing process.
If left untreated, metal corrosion can affect a business from both economic and structural integrity standpoints. Sarah Medeiros, Corrosion Engineer at SIFCO ASC, discusses developments in R&D to help slow down the corrosion process.
