Corrosion is a 3.4% Problem
Corrosion is the inevitable degradation of metals in various environments. It is an enormous economic and technical problem that has constantly plagued various industrial sectors worldwide. A study by NACE in 2000 (now AMPP) International, estimated the direct costs of corrosion in every U.S.-based industry to total 3.1% of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The values could be much higher by today's industrial output! https://lnkd.in/ez_vtX5R

A large cost (1.4% of the U.S. GDP) is attributed to various corrosion mitigation techniques; 88.3% is allotted for organic corrosion protective coatings. The global cost of corrosion was estimated to be 3.4% of the global GDP. It was also estimated that up to 15-35% of this number can be reduced if the existing and new corrosion mitigation methods can be better implemented.

Can we do better? How about using more polymers?
Hopefully, many scientists and engineers from industry and academia are at it.
We have been working in this field for quite some time now. You may find some of our papers below useful on the use of polymers, additives, inhibitors, and coatings.
