Serving those responsible
for combating corrosion

Corrosion is the deterioration of a material due to chemical reactions between the metal and the surrounding environment.

This is generally referred to a metal because:

• Metals are normally highly conductive
• Metals are usually vulnerable to electrochemical reactions

Other materials also corrode... but we focus on metals more than other materials.

There is a massive health and safety risk, financial implications and environmental impact if we do not take care of our respective assets.

The economic loss of corrosion worldwide is estimated to be greater than US$2.5-trillion, while in South Africa, the direct cost of corrosion is estimated to be around R130-billion (+-4% of our GDP)

Here are a few prevention techniques, but not limited to:

Use protective coatings, hot dip galvanizing, metal plating, corrosion inhibitors, cathodic protection, anodic protection. Contact us for more information on preventative techniques.
