Industrial coating systems and topcoats are the most important and often practical solution for the protection of steel against corrosion, acid and fire. Without protection, it often causes problems with the visual appearance of the building, and more importantly, structural deterioration and possible destruction. Proper protective coatings and precise, regular maintenance ensure long-term preservation of steel structures and costly total repairs and even decommissioning can be avoided.
