moisture to travel. This effectively stops atmospheric corrosion of power and petrochemical industry pipeline and steel assets. The corrosion barrier is covered by a ceramic shell that further resists corrosion, water, fire, abrasion, impact, chemicals, and temperatures up to 450 °C. Beyond this, the ceramic shell serves a unique role that helps to end the costly maintenance cycle of replacing typical barrier type coatings every few years.

This capability, along with the coating’s other properties, enables effective corrosion protection for the life of the asset with a single application.” Easy Application, Environmental Benefits
