How to conquer corrosion and cavitation erosion on submerged areas and tanks

Corrosion and cavitation erosion on steel structures are problems and can have a huge impact on safety and economy. In order to prevent corrosion, protective coatings can be used as a barrier between the steel surface and the corrosive elements such as seawater or various liquid cargos. However, when coating systems fail the surface will be exposed to the environment with all consequences. From that perspective, the weakest link is the coating used to protect the steel.

Corrosion and cavitation erosion on steel structures are problems and can have a huge impact on safety and economy. In order to prevent corrosion, protective coatings can be used as a barrier between the steel surface and the corrosive elements such as seawater or various liquid cargos. However, when coating systems fail the surface will be exposed to the environment with all consequences. From that perspective, the weakest link is the coating used to protect the steel. Therefore, a comprehensive approach is required, and the selection of the correct protective coating needs to be in conjunction with the use and design life of the steel structure. Taking all these elements in consideration, the best type of coating will need to provide superior corrosion protection, is chemical resistant for a wide variation of products, is abrasion resistant and protects the surface against cavitation erosion. A glassflake vinylester coating offers many advantages in terms of corrosion, abrasion and cavitation erosion protection. This type of coating has been used for the most demanding applications offering the best protection which has been validated as extremely durable.
