Researchers from the University of Tehran are working on biocompatible anticorrosive coatings with nanometric thickness to increase corrosion resistance in metallic structures in various fields, including the petroleum, gas, petrochemical, automobile fabrication and marine industries.
A thin layer of graphene paint can make impermeable and chemically resistant coatings that could be used for food packaging and corrosion protection, according to new findings from researchers at The University of Manchester in England.
A new line of chrome-free, water-based diffusion coatings from CeralUSA, LSR-H20 coatings offer environmentally friendly alternatives to legacy, chrome-containing diffusion coatings.
A breakthrough in coatings for corrosion under insulation (CUI) in the petrochemical market has been unveiled for Europe, Middle East and Africa by Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine Coatings.
Battelle scientists have developed a tiny bead, the Battelle Smart Corrosion Detector™ bead, that not only detects corrosion but delivers a payload to help heal the microscopic cracks that rust creates.
NASA conducted tests of corrosion preventive compounds in a study titled “The Behavior of Environmentally Friendly Corrosion Preventative Compounds in an Aggressive Coastal Marine Environment.” The tests were conducted at NASA’s atmospheric test station at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Iranian researchers from the Institute for Color Science and Technology have produced a new type of coating that exhibits anticorrosion properties by using zinc oxide nanoparticles.
