Infographic showing corrosion protection for equipment, steel structures and chemical facilities
I. Preamble
Industrial corrosion can severely affect equipment service life and production safety. Polyaspartic coatingsAnti-corrosion coatingsWith its chemical resistance and fast curing, it has become a preferred option for industrial corrosion protection. This article presents corrosion-protection solutions for equipment, steel structures and chemical-processing environments.
II. Types of corrosion and protection mechanisms
Common corrosion type for 2.1
- Chemical corrosive: chemical medium erosion such as acid, alkalis, salt, etc.
- Electro-chemical corrosive: exposure of metals to electrolyte solutions produces electrochemical reactions
- Physical corrosion: mechanical effects such as wear, brush, shock
- Biocorrosion: Corrosion from microbial metabolites
2.2 polyaspartic protective equipment
- Blocking: Cyclical coating to prevent corrosion media infiltration
- Gravity: The slowness agent in the coating inhibits corrosive reaction
- cathode protection: electrochemical protection in conjunction with zinc-rich paint
- Flexibility: evaluate limited substrate movement and treat cracks and joints separately.

Concluding remarks
Select the coating system according to the actual substrate, exposure, application conditions and acceptance criteria. Junaimei provides product information and technical support to help evaluate suitable options.
Selection guide
polyaspartic steel structure corrosion protection focuses on the rust level, attached to the atmosphere, and polyaspartic polyurea cesspool corrosion protection also requires verification of long-term impregnated media, structural cracks, nodes and cut-off windows, and the two types of projects cannot be used directly.
The steel structure and the sewage tank should be designed separately.
Polyaspartic steel structure corrosion protection requires the surface treatment of steel, welding and edges, followed by the selection of primer and topcoat by corrosive environment. polyaspartic polyurea cesspit coorrosion protection shall also obtain media composition, concentration, temperature, leaching method and washing process and determine the system after the compatibility test has been completed.
