Anti Crossion Powder paint containing silica nanoparticles

Anti-corrosive paints protect and preserve the structure of buildings. They prevent outside influences such as water or oxygen from causing corrosion, which would slowly break down the steel. They are also used on all steel constructions in the oil and gas industries and other industries as well as in power stations, bridges, cellulose mills, fish factories and etc.

This product is known as electrostatic paint which indicates the improvement of corrosion resistance due to the presence of the nanoparticles.

Corrosion is a natural process, converting a refined metal to a more stable form, such as its oxide or hydroxide which imposes large costs on the industries. It is the gradual destruction of materials (usually metals) by chemical reaction with their environment. Corrosion degrades the useful properties of materials and structures including strength, appearance and permeability to liquids and gases. The amount by which a corrosion coating reduces the rate of corrosion varies, depending on the kind of metal and its environment. Adding nanoparticles to the coatings, depending on the type of nanoparticles, improves the corrosion resistance due to different mechanisms.
