Corrosion protection is asset protection :

Corrosion costs Industry hundreds of billions per year. Valuable assets reduce in worth and efficiency. Repairs or replacement are time and cost consuming, with a severe impact on our environment.

Weakness-coatings and paints

Traditionally coatings and paints are utilised to provide a barrier to the substrate in order to minimise corrosion. This barrier is often relatively porous with poor adhesion, enabling the onset of the corrosion process. Unless these two issues are addressed by the protective coating system it may be offering a short term cosmetic benefit rather than long term corrosion protection.

Ultimative protection through ceramic-composite coating systems

Ceram-Kote coating systems offer a combination of ceramic micro particles, tightly bound in a specially developed resin matrix. The resulting, high performance, composite provides the superior barrier and adhesion properties to ensure long term corrosion protection. In comparison with traditional coatings, Ceram-Kote offers the following advantages:

Technical properties

• >100 times lower permeability
• >5 times adhesion to steel
• >10 times abrasion resistance
• > 5 times impact resistance
• ~15 % flexibility on a mandrelbend
• excellent chemical and temperature resistance
• thin film application
