Corrosion Protection

Industrial coatings for concrete and steel are specialized protective layers designed to enhance durability, resist corrosion, and extend the lifespan of surfaces in demanding environments like factories, warehouses, refineries, and marine or infrastructure projects

Here’s a breakdown for each category that we cover :

1. Industrial Coatings on Concrete

This cover following purposes

  1. Protection from chemical attack, abrasion, and moisture ingress

  2. Aesthetic improvement

  3. Resistance to stains, impact, and wear

  4. Easy cleaning and maintenance

There are few common types of these coating

A. Epoxy Coatings

   * Two-part system (resin + hardener)

   * Strong adhesion, chemical resistance, and durability

   * Ideal for warehouses, garages, food processing

B. Polyurethane Coatings

   * High UV stability and abrasion resistance

   * Often used as topcoats over epoxy

C. Acrylic Coatings

   * UV-resistant, breathable, and water-repellent

   * Used for decorative or light industrial purposes

D. Polyaspartic Coatings

   * Fast curing, chemical and abrasion-resistant

   * Good for rapid turnaround environments

E. Silane/Siloxane Sealers

   * Penetrating, hydrophobic coatings

   * Effective against water and salt ingress (e.g., parking decks)

Applications

* Industrial floors

* Containment areas

* Parking structures

* Manufacturing plants

2. Industrial Coatings on Steel

This cover following purposes:

  1. Protection from chemical attack, abrasion, and moisture ingress

  2. Aesthetic improvement

  3. Resistance to stains, impact, and wear.

  4. Easy cleaning and maintenance

There are few common types of these coating

A. Zinc-Rich Primers (Galvanic Protection)

   * Sacrificial layer that corrodes instead of steel

   * Used in bridges, offshore structures

B. Epoxy Coatings

   * Excellent adhesion, chemical and water resistance

   * Often used as primers or midcoats

C. Polyurethane Topcoats

   * UV-stable and color-retentive

   * Applied over epoxy for exterior durability

D. Intumescent Coatings

   * Swell when heated to insulate steel against fire

   * Used in structural steel for fireproofing

E. Alkyd Coatings

   * Economical and decorative

   * Suitable for less aggressive environments

F. Thermal Spray Coatings (e.g., Metalized Zinc/Aluminum)

   * High-performance corrosion protection

   * Used in marine and industrial environments

Applications

* Pipelines and tanks

* Structural steel in bridges/buildings

* Oil and gas infrastructure

* Marine and offshore structures

Selection Considerations

* Exposure conditions (UV, chemicals, salt, temperature)

* Mechanical wear or traffic

* Cure time and application method

* Environmental regulations (VOC content, worker safety)
