Corrosion is…“A gradual wearing away or alteration by a chemical or electromechanical oxidizing process”

Some Considerations Surface must be cleaned with an
angular abrasive to obtain a near white metal finish with a 3-mil surface profile.
Surface must be dry and free from contaminants.
Often several coats must be applied. Cure times may be excessive. Finished surface must be free from
pin holes or holidays (detection is required).
Low heat transfer coefficients.
In Conclusion:
Equipment in wet operating conditions will corrode!!!!!
Barrier Coatings can Provide:
Low Cost
Long Lasting Solution
To the overall problem of corrosion
