CORROSION PROTECTION

Corrosion Protection is the application of anti-corrosion chemicals to prevent damage to equipment like water pipelines, structural membranes, effluent pipelines, steel pipelines, etc., affected by corrosive agents. Quality corrosion protection can extend your equipment's lifespan and reduce maintenance costs. Sunanda Global has a variety of products, Rusticide, Rustovert, Polyalk Fixoprime, Polyalk CP 293, etc., which prevent corrosion.

FAQs

Corrosion-resistant coatings are protective layers applied to metal surfaces to prevent rust and corrosion. These coatings, often made from materials like zinc, epoxy, or polyurethane, act as a barrier against moisture, chemicals, and environmental elements that can degrade metal. They're essential in extending the life and maintaining the integrity of metal products.
To protect steel, coatings such as zinc (galvanization), epoxy, polyurethane, and alkyd are commonly used. Zinc provides sacrificial protection, while epoxy and polyurethane form durable, moisture-resistant barriers. These coatings prevent rust and corrosion, prolonging the steel's lifespan.
Corrosion protection is used on metal surfaces, especially steel, iron, aluminum, and alloys, to prevent rust and deterioration. It's vital in infrastructure like bridges, vehicles, industrial machinery, water pipelines, structural membranes, effluent pipelines, and steel pipelines, where metal integrity is crucial. This protection, achieved through coatings, galvanization, or cathodic protection, extends the lifespan and safety of these assets.
Corrosion coatings can be broadly categorized into metallic, organic, and inorganic types. Metallic coatings, such as galvanization, provide a physical barrier or sacrificial protection. Organic coatings, including epoxy and polyurethane, create a protective film against environmental elements. Inorganic coatings, like ceramics and enamels, offer robust protection, particularly in extreme conditions.
Corrosion coatings are typically applied using methods like spraying, brushing, or dipping, depending on the coating type and the surface. The surface must be clean and free from rust or debris. After application, the coating needs to cure, which may involve air drying or heating, ensuring a durable, protective layer.
