Selection of Anticorrosive Coatings for Steel Structures
There are many kinds of anticorrosive coatings that can be used for steel structures. What kind of coating should be used? It is mainly based on the following factors: the importance level of the project, the cost of the project, the difficulty of the project maintenance, the corrosion environment of the project, and other factors. In order to find a balance point among these contradictory factors, it is necessary to meet the minimum requirements for durability and give consideration to the project cost.
Primer: In addition to providing excellent adhesion, the function of the primer is mainly to prevent corrosion on the steel surface.
Interface: Also important.
Topcoat: In addition to beautifying the environment, the topcoat can also protect the coating from damage caused by ultraviolet rays. Some also require chemical resistance.
