Lifetime Coatings Spray on Siding

Corrosion, including rust, is a worldwide problem that is gaining more and more attention. With aging infrastructures, the risk is mounting and threatens lives and property. Too often problems are ignored until it’s too late.

There are two aspects to corrosion – prevention and repair. An important factor is that corrosion is irreversible…it always results in a weakened structure. While prevention works going forward, repair is the most pressing issue.

How ArmorThane Prevents Corrosion

Corrosion is the deterioration of surfaces and structures caused by a reaction to a number of elements and conditions. ArmorThane spray coatings form a protective barrier that blocks these damaging environments so corrosion doesn’t have the opportunity to start:

• Water, Rain, Moisture
• Seawater, Salt Air
• Chemicals, Acids, Gases
• Abrasion and Erosion
• High Velocity Flow
• Stress, Pressure
• Microorganisms
• Age Deterioration
• Electrolysis, Electrical Imbalance

Corrosion-resistant alloys and materials with inhibitors slow damage but don’t last. As protective surfaces get stripped away by wear and tear or physical damage, the underlying metals become exposed.

Rust is the most common result and refers to the corrosion of iron and its alloys, such as steel. Over time, with the presence of oxygen and water, tough iron structures will completely disintegrate. As the metal surface is stripped away and turns to rust, new metal is exposed; the cycle repeats continuing to leave layers of nothing but flakes. The only solution is to block these elements by coating with ArmorThane polymers before corrosion sets in.
