Double dip galvanizing (DDG) refers to an industrial process used to protect large surface areas of iron, steel and other metals from corrosion. It is characterized by fully or partially submerging the substrate metal into a zinc bath at approximately 460°C (860°F) to form zinc carbonate… View Full Term

Ships and offshore assets have areas with an inherently higher corrosion risk than other areas of the same structure. These areas merit special attention during their initial surface preparation, coating and subsequent maintenance activities.
Volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCIs) are used to provide corrosion protection to metal components in enclosed areas during long-term storage or shipping. They work by emitting gaseous corrosion-inhibiting chemicals.
