Free Webinar: Flange Isolation and Remote Monitoring
Defects in a coating film can ultimately leave the metal substrate vulnerable to corrosion, thus negating the purpose of the protective coating. Here we discuss common causes of holidays and pinholes, and explore detection methods and remedies.
By: Thomas Belli, B.A.
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.
