A thermoplastic olefin is a chemical substance that is composed of a high molecular weight polyethylene, rubber and a reinforcing filler. This mixture contributes to the strong corrosion-resistant nature of thermoplastic olefins, which make them ideal for use in corrosion prevention. In this… View Full Term

Drinking water travels through metallic pipes. The corrosion rate depends upon dissimilar metals used in pipes and water parameters such as dissolved oxygen levels, pH value, and contaminants. Coatings must meet regulatory standards.
Single-coat inorganic zinc silicate (IOZ) coating provides one of the most durable and cost-effective coating systems available. Properly applied, it...
