Coatings World: Protecting a substrate from corrosion is one of the most important functions of coatings. What types of products does your company recommend to protect high-value assets (pipelines, outdoor structures, oil rigs, etc.) from corrosion?
Dr. Jeffrey David Rogozinski, global product director for Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine Coatings: In the oil and gas pipeline market, a multi-layered coatings approach is advised to prevent pipeline corrosion, protect anti-corrosion coatings and preserve fusion-bonded epoxy (FBE) coatings before pipes are buried in the ground. For example, the ideal base coating layer is an anti-corrosion FBE coating designed to prevent corrosive elements from reaching the steel pipe substrate and working synergistically with cathodic protection systems. Next, a protective, abrasion- and damage resistant FBE coating layer is advised to resist the scratches and scrapes a pipe may encounter from transportation to installation. Such scrapes could otherwise exp
