Read the latest issue of the magazine dedicated to corrosion prediction, prevention, protection and mitigation – Special edition on energy, petrochemical, and gas sectors!
Investing in steel protection today means safeguarding the future. This idea stands out as a central theme in the April issue of Corrosion Protection, which focuses on the energy, petrochemical, and gas sectors. Highlighting the strategic value of corrosion prevention, the issue underscores how protecting steel structures is a forward-looking measure that enhances durability and operational resilience across industries.
The message is clear: corrosion is not just a technical challenge but a central issue in the broader industrial landscape. Addressing it effectively means embracing sustainability, reducing emissions, and ultimately minimising the environmental impact of human activity
on the planet.
Extending the service life of steel structures through advanced and effective corrosion and fire protection technologies means investing in the long-term reduction of carbon emissions directly at source, a solution that is still overlooked, failing to realise that when corrosion is prevented or slowed down, steel structures do not need to be replaced. This eliminates greenhouse gas emissions from the production of new steel.
As global steel demand grows constantly, especially in rapidly industrialising countries, corrosion and fire prevention and protection technologies are the secret to long-lasting structures and sustainable development. These safeguarding technologies’ sustainability and environmental
impact can also be improved, provided that their environmental friendliness
does not compromise their performance.
This issue of Corrosion Protection highlights some trends in R&D and marketing that are common to all major global players:
- Focus on epoxy technologies that guarantee long-term durability.
- Management of the potential ban on PFAS.
- Compatibility between solvent-based and water-based systems to create hybrid coating solutions with an ultra-low VOC content.
- Standardisation of formulations and creation of global product portfolios to ensure consistent quality results even on multi-region projects and easier implementation of technologies.
However, as with every issue, the observations shared with Corrosion Protection’s readers in these few lines are just a taste of the wealth of content found in the magazine. The one you are about to read is a particularly rich and interesting issue, with technical contributions from all corners of the world and featuring some prominent authors and opinion leaders who have chosen Corrosion Protection to disseminate their research, studies, and success stories.
