Industrial materials (concrete structures and metal alloys) require continuous protection against environmental factors and aggressive chemicals.
Metal surfaces are protected by applying an impermeable, uniform layer of anticorrosive paint of an appropriate thickness.
It blocks the access of ions to the mechanical substrate and prevents the formation of galvanic couples (anode-cathode) that trigger corrosion.
Anticorrosive paints are liquid or powder materials designed to protect the substrate they are applied to.
To optimise solutions technically and economically, anticorrosive measures must be established as early as the structure's design phase.
The choice of paint system and the drafting of the specification depend on the geometry of the structure, the materials used and the operating environment.
To guarantee long-term durability, the following parameters are assessed:
Because the shape and location of the structure directly affect how it is executed, inspected and maintained, all these characteristics must be rigorously analysed before application.
