What are Protective Coatings?
By now, it is clear that when an uncoated metal or steel structure comes into contact with the environment, the result is corrosion. To help prevent and seriously slow down the corrosion process, protective coatings are essentially designed.
Protective coatings are all about the principle of keeping the things that cause corrosion away from a certain surface. In addition, these can also be used to provide passive fire protection for structural steel.
Metallic substrates, mostly carbon steel, will corrode in the absence of a protective coating, which will eventually result in the reduction of the service life of the steel part or component. Both organic and metallic coatings are thus used to provide protection against corrosion of these metallic substrates.
In a simple way, how do Protective Coatings work?
