How does metal protection technology work?
Coatings are either barrier or sacrificial. Barrier coatings protect the metal by isolating it from the surrounding environment. This barrier not only physically separates the metal from the environment, but also prevents current exchange between the metal and the surrounding electrolyte.
What is steel protection?
Galvanizing is a process of coating steel or iron with a layer of zinc to protect it. It has been used since the mid-18th century – with modernizations and improvements, of course – and continues to be one of the most widely used steel protections worldwide.
What is barrier protection of metal?
A protective barrier is a physical layer on top of a corrosion-prone metal surface, and is intended to prevent corrosion. Protective barriers are added to metal surfaces by painting the surface with a non-metallic coat or plating with a metal.
How can we protect metals from corrosion?
5 Different Types of Corrosion Prevention Methods
- BARRIER COATINGS. One of the easiest and cheapest ways to prevent corrosion is to use barrier coatings like paint, plastic, or powder.
- HOT-DIP GALVANIZATION.
- ALLOYED STEEL (STAINLESS)
- CATHODIC PROTECTION.
- EONCOAT – A NEW WAY TO PROTECT ASSETS FROM CORROSION.
What are the 3 keys to corrosion prevention?
Key Points Three things are necessary for corrosion to occur: an electrolyte, an exposed metal surface, and an electron acceptor. Corrosion can be prevented by removing one of these conditions. Coating a metal surface with paint or enamel provides a barrier between the metal and the moisture in the environment.
What is the formula of rust?
It is estimated that about one-seventh of all iron production goes to replace the metal lost to corrosion. Rust is apparently a hydrated form of iron(III)oxide. The formula is approximately Fe2O3•32H2O, although the exact amount of water is variable.
What protects steel from rusting?
Galvanize: Galvanizing coats iron or steel in zinc to protect from rust. Zinc corrodes at a much slower rate than iron or steel, so it’s highly effective for slowing rust. Powder Coating: A layer of acrylic, vinyl, epoxy or other substances will prevent moisture from reaching the metal, thereby preventing rust.
What is zinc coated?
Zinc plating is the process of covering substrate metals (like steel and iron, etc.) with a layer or coating of zinc to protect the substrate from corrosion.
How do you protect metal?
Apply a Dry Coating For metal parts or components that need to stay clean or provide a solid grip, a rust preventative dry coating is ideal. Dry coating rust prevention products such as ARMOR’s Dry Coat Rust Preventative can be applied via spray, dip or wash. Once they dry, the protective barrier is in place.
Why is it important to preserve metals?
Cleaning and Preserving Metal materials are prone to rust and corrosion damage, as well as electrical damage due to the conductive nature of metal. Applying a preservative to the metal’s surface creates a barrier between the atmosphere and the metal, preventing corrosion damage.
Why choose our metal coating services?

How does coating protect steel from water damage?
Coating steel helps to protect it from the rust and wear damage that results from prolonged contact with water. Not only will water damage weaken components, it will also compromise the performance of your production equipment, increasing the likelihood of failure at a crucial moment in the manufacturing process.
What is bare metal as a service?
This new approach of bare metal as a service would allow users to have full access to the servers with cloud-based automation so that users can focus on their applications without having to worry about underlying server provisioning and hardware maintenance.
What is zinc plating?
Zinc Metallizing (plating) Feeding zinc into a heated gun, where it is melted and sprayed on a structure or part using combustion gases and/or auxiliary compressed air Zinc-rich Paints Zinc-rich paints contain various amounts of metallic zinc dust and are applied by brush or spray to properly prepared steel
