Corrosion in metal structures is a critical problem that can compromise the integrity and safety of alcohol plants. This article will cover effective corrosion prevention methods, the Eurolatina products that can be used and how these solutions can be implemented to ensure the longevity of your installations.
What is Corrosion in Metallic Structures?
Corrosion is the process of deterioration of metals due to reaction with the environment. In alcohol plants, this deterioration can lead to catastrophic failures if not properly managed. Corrosion can be accelerated by several factors, including humidity, exposure to chemicals and temperature variations.
Corrosion Prevention Methods
Eurolatina Anticorrosive Synthetic Primer
One of the most effective methods is the use of synthetic anti-corrosion primers. Eurolatina's Synthetic Primer is specially formulated to protect ferrous metal structures, offering anti-corrosion protection and preparing the surface for the final finish. This product has a matte finish and quick drying, making it ideal for projects with tight deadlines.
Two-component epoxy
Another option is the use of two-component epoxies, such as Eurolatina's Epoxy Primer. This product is high thickness and has a low organic volatile content, making it an environmentally friendly choice. It offers excellent anti-corrosion protection on ferrous substrates, making it ideal for general machinery.
