When corrosion (rust) attacks your metal, the structural integrity will eventually fail. This can lead to injuries and even death. This article shares some global examples.
With its new EcoShield® VpCI®-386 HT Slip Coating, Cortec® has developed a coating that helps to keep the inside of electrical conduits from rusting while providing enough slip for electrical wires to pass through.
Anticorrosion coatings go beyond the standard topcoats seen on bridges, cars or heavy equipment exteriors. Rust-converting coatings can do much for surface prep, while removable coatings meet an important temporary protection need. Whatever the specific situation, it is good for manufacturers, maintenance crews and even construction workers to be aware of specialty coatings that can make their job easier.
Following the phasing out of hexavalent chromium, there was a clear need for innovation in order to offer the same level of protection against corrosion. With new micro-reservoir technology, this company is able to incorporate chemicals that were previously incompatible with coatings and offer a smart inhibitor that delivers on price and performance.
In the world of automotive and heavy-equipment parts suppliers, both short-term and long-term rust prevention is critical to prevent serious loss from rust claims. Equally critical is finding a rust preventative that will be effective and easy enough to use.
M-645 is a float coat used to inhibit corrosion in vessels containing saltwater or brine, floating on the surface of the water to form a self-healing protective film on adjacent metals.
A good primer is an excellent key to a successful coatings system - especially when corrosion protection of metals is at stake. This high performance, water-based epoxy primer maximizes durability and corrosion inhibition.
The coating technology discussed in this article is a 100%-waterborne, high-ratio zinc silicate. When used as a single-coat system – or when complemented with a topcoat for aesthetics – the product delivers superior and complete corrosion-prevention benefits that are unmatched when compared to other "IOZ" systems used in the marine environment.
When thinking of corrosion protection in the auto industry, it is easy to focus on rust prevention for vehicles and auto parts themselves. But it can be just as important to protect the tooling and dies used to make the auto components.
