CORROSION PREVENTION COATINGS
CORROSION PREVENTION / REPAIR WITH POLYUREA
Corrosion, including rust, is a worldwide problem that is gaining more and more attention. With aging infrastructures, the risk is mounting and threatens lives and property. Too often problems are ignored until it’s too late.
There are two aspects to corrosion – prevention and repair. An important factor is that corrosion is irreversible…it always results in a weakened structure. While prevention works going forward, repair is the most pressing issue.
Corrosion is the deterioration of surfaces and structures caused by a reaction to a number of elements and conditions. ArmorThane spray coatings form a protective barrier that blocks these damaging environments so corrosion doesn’t have the opportunity to start:
Water, Rain, Moisture
Seawater, Salt Air
Chemicals, Acids, Gases
Abrasion and Erosion
High Velocity Flow
Stress, Pressure
Microorganisms
Age Deterioration
Electrolysis, Electrical Imbalance
CAUSES OF
CORROSION & DETERIORATION
Corrosion is the deterioration of surfaces and structures caused by a reaction to a number of elements and conditions. ArmorThane spray coatings form a protective barrier that blocks these damaging environments so corrosion doesn’t have the opportunity to start:
Corrosion-resistant alloys and materials with inhibitors slow damage but don’t last. As protective surfaces get stripped away by wear and tear or physical damage, the underlying metals become exposed.
Rust is the most common result and refers to the corrosion of iron and its alloys, such as steel. Over time, with the presence of oxygen and water, tough iron structures will completely disintegrate. As the metal surface is stripped away and turns to rust, new metal is exposed; the cycle repeats continuing to leave layers of nothing but flakes. The only solution is to block these elements by coating with ArmorThane polymers before corrosion sets in.
THE LONGER LASTING
STRONGER ALTERNATIVE
Paints and lacquers are commonly used to cover surfaces, but have very limited protective qualities and will deteriorate over time without regular maintenance. These thin films age poorly and can easily crack and flake off leaving exposed surfaces.
Thickness standards for surface coatings are set by suppliers and customer specs, but paints and primers typically test at 10 mils or less. Sprayed polymers are naturally thicker making them as much as twenty times the thickness of industrial-grade paints, depending on the project.

ArmorThane pure and hybrid polyureas and polyurethanes were developed to withstand abrasion, high impact, extreme temperatures, chemicals, water and many other environments for a wide variety of applications. These polymers withstand pressure and stretch without cracking even as the underlying structure shifts or vibrates. The impervious nature of these materials creates a seamless, leak-proof barrier. As a bonus, a spray coating will cover complex shapes and is easily transported to jobsites. These factors make the long-term life expectancy very cost effective.
