Introduction to Anti-Corrosion Coatings
Anti-corrosion coatings are essential in safeguarding metal surfaces from the detrimental effects of corrosion, which can lead to material degradation and failure. Corrosion typically occurs through an oxidation process where metals react with oxygen and other elements in their environment. This reaction forms oxides or other compounds that can discolor and weaken the metal over time, leading to deterioration and structural failures.
Anti corrosion protective coatings act as a barrier, protecting the metals from environmental elements such as moisture, chemicals, and salt, which can accelerate the corrosion process. The global cost of corrosion is estimated by the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP) to be billions of dollars annually, highlighting the critical role of effective anti-corrosion strategies in industries worldwide. Choosing the right type of coating for your specific application is crucial to avoid costly repairs and replacements due to corrosion.
Universal Chemicals & Coatings, Inc., UNICHEM, offers a diverse range of anti-corrosion protective coatings including anti-corrosion epoxy coatings, polymer, and specialized barrier coatings. Each type is formulated to address specific industry needs, enhancing the protective measures across various applications.
Types of Anti-Corrosion Coatings
Anti Corrosion Epoxy Coatings
Epoxy coatings are highly valued for their exceptional adhesion properties and robust performance in severe environments. These coatings form a hard, protective shell that not only resists corrosion but also withstands chemical attacks and extreme weather conditions, making them ideal for heavy-duty industrial applications. Epoxy coatings are particularly effective in protecting infrastructure where exposure to harsh elements is a constant challenge.
Anti Corrosion Polymer Coatings
Polymer-based coatings are particularly suited for lightweight metals like aluminum, commonly used in the automotive industry. An anti-corrosion coating for aluminum offers excellent flexibility, and durability, as well as providing an excellent surface for top-coatings to adhere to. These coatings adapt well to the expansion and contraction of metal surfaces under varying temperatures. Their non-corrosive nature makes them an optimal choice for prolonging the life of metal structures while maintaining their weight efficiency.
Anti Corrosion Metal Coating
Specially formulated for steel, aluminum, and other metal alloys, anti-corrosion coatings are designed to combat the specific challenges faced by these substrates. These coatings provide a resilient barrier against moisture, salts, and industrial chemicals, effectively preventing the oxidative processes that lead to corrosion, loss of desired aesthetics, etc., caused by oxidation. They are extensively used in building materials and automotive sectors where metal structural integrity, as well as long-term aesthetic preservation, are crucial.
Anti-Corrosion Coating Barrier Coating
Barrier coatings serve as a formidable line of defense against environmental elements. By forming a protective layer over the substrate, these coatings block the permeation of corrosive agents, thereby extending the substrate’s operational life. They are commonly applied to exterior surfaces of buildings, pipelines, and outdoor machinery that are exposed to environmental stresses.
Food Safe Anti-Corrosion Coating for Aluminum
For applications involving direct contact with food and beverages, food-contact-compliant, anti-corrosion coatings are essential. These coatings are specifically formulated to resist corrosion while complying with stringent food contact regulations. They are used in the manufacturing of aluminum containers and other packaging materials that require both durability and non-toxicity to ensure the safety and integrity of food products.
UNICHEM offers these diverse types of anti-corrosion coatings that enable businesses across various sectors to choose the right protection suited to their operational needs and environmental conditions.

Coil Applied Anti Corrosive Coatings
Coil coating is a highly efficient method for applying anti-corrosion coatings to metal substrates, primarily used for steel and aluminum. This process involves cleaning, treating, and painting the metal in a continuous line, which allows for precise control and uniform application across the entire surface of the coil. The result is a consistently high-quality anti-corrosion coating for steel with enhanced corrosion resistance.
One of the key advantages of coil coating over other application methods is its ability to apply a uniform coating across the metal surface. According to studies reported by the National Coil Coating Association, experts have found that coil-coated metals generally exhibit superior performance in corrosion resistance tests compared to post-painted metals.
This is largely because the metal is thoroughly cleaned and treated before painting, ensuring that the surface is free from impurities that could impair the coating’s effectiveness. Furthermore, coil coating typically applies multiple layers of tightly bonded paint, which covers both sides of the metal sheet, as opposed to the single layer and one-sided application common in post-painting.
Additionally, the uniform pre-cleaning, pre-treatment, and pre-painting processes significantly enhance the durability and appearance of the finished product, making it more resilient to environmental factors that cause corrosion. With the right combination of anti-corrosive coatings products and properly prepared substrates, prepainted materials are not only more cost-effective but also provide superior long-term protection and aesthetic appeal compared to alternatives painted post-manufacture.
