Rust can pose a major problem for metal surfaces, particularly in industrial environments where low acidity, moisture, and oxygen converge. An anti-rust coating is indispensable in such conditions. The use of anti-corrosion coatings not only extends the lifespan of materials but also saves costs through reduced maintenance and replacements. We provide text and explanation below.
Are you familiar with the saying ‘rest breeds rust’? (Meaning: inactivity leads to a decline in ability.) The same applies to untreated metal. Even stainless steel can corrode when it is insufficiently protected and maintained. This is particularly noticeable in coastal areas where metal is exposed to sea air, consisting of tiny droplets of seawater containing chlorides.
Why should you prevent corrosion at all costs? Not only the appearance of the metal, but also its strength is affected by it. By using an anti-rust coating, the structural integrity is not compromised, and you avoid potentially dangerous situations.
An anti-corrosion coating forms a barrier on the metal surface where it is applied, reducing direct exposure to moisture and oxygen. This is crucial for preventing oxidation, the primary cause of rust formation.
Important to know: before the coating is applied, the surface must be properly pre-treated. This includes processes such as blasting and degreasing, which ensure optimal adhesion.
Why do many industries rely on the anti-corrosion coatings from Lakfabriek Korthals? Our metal coatings are designed to arm the substrate against external influences, such as water, adverse air conditions, and exposure to certain chemicals. In doing so, we ensure the optimal preservation of your materials.
Our anti-rust coatings are multifunctional and possess additional relevant properties, such as water repellency and resistance to contamination by, for example, fungi and mosses. This makes them ideal for use in various sectors, such as offshore and infrastructure.
With our anti-rust coatings, you invest in the preservation of your metal objects. Would you like to know more about our extensive product portfolio or discuss the possibilities without obligation? Contact us directly for tailored advice!
