Corrosion Protection
Surface preparation, paint systems, hot-dip galvanizing and duplex systems selected for the environment and design life.
Durable steelwork depends on matching the protective system to the corrosivity of the environment and the required durability, then executing surface preparation, application and inspection correctly. ISO 12944 provides a widely used framework for corrosivity categories and paint system selection; hot-dip galvanizing is specified through its own standards.
