Corrosion Resistant Coatings

Metalline Corporation manufactures specialty corrosion resistant chemicals that protect steel, copper, brass, aluminum, zinc and nickel plated deposits.

When metals are plated, pickled or chemically polished, the metal ions on the surface become active and ready to oxidize.  Without the application of a chemical barrier layer or corrosion resistant coating, the metal surface will begin to oxidize and corrode, often negatively affecting the appearance and performance characteristics of the metal.  This is commonly evident with steel after it is removed from an acid pickle and rinsed.  If left untreated and exposed to the air, the surface will rapidly begin to form iron-oxide, which we know as red rust.
