CORTEC: Quick-Start Guide on Direct-to-Metal Coatings for Construction Applications
Cortec® MCI® recently released a new coatings guide designed specifically for the building maintenance and construction industries. This two-page handout gives a quick introduction to Cortec Micro-Corrosion Inhibiting Coatings™ technology before getting down to basics on how and where to apply which coatings. The guide is designed to help engineers, contractors, and maintenance crews easily protect structural steel and metal equipment around their facility or construction site.
Construction sites and facilities have countless metal structures or equipment components that need protection—from structural steel to steel plates, metal platforms to stairs and banisters, and metal HVAC components to decorative architecture. Depending on the surrounding environment (e.g., outdoors vs. indoors), some will be at higher risk of corrosion and require heavy-duty protection. Others may need a simple layer of coating to improve appearance and delay gradual oxidation. This quick guide helps simplify coatings selection so workers can get down to the business of protecting their assets with a good coating combination for each specific application.
