Corrosion, erosion, abrasion and chemical attack of
metallic process equipment is a challenge that costs industry billions per
year.
ARC Efficiency and Protective coatings corrosion/wear-resistant
coatings are at the forefront of Polymer innovation in preventing the issues
outlined above. In addition there is a growing awareness of the benefits of ARC
in improving Efficiency in fluid flow applications.
This can be attributed to ARCs
- Low surface energy (low drag) versus metals and competitive products. This allows media to move more easily over the ARC coated surface.
- Eliminates the corrosion/erosion cycle helping to maintain equipment dimensions thus preventing turbulent flow and maintaining laminar flow.

These advanced
reinforced coatings can improve process efficiencies, lead to energy savings
and reduction of emissions.
In addition these
cost-effective coatings can save money by increasing equipment lifetime and by
allowing for substitution of expensive materials such as super duplex, with
less-expensive substrate and coating combinations.
