Corrosion is a natural weathering process of metals; the rusty development rate and its nature is very dependent on the environmental conditions in which the steel is located. The process is harmful and weakens the steel and therefore requires many resources to prevent it from corrosion and reducing it from being damaged.

The role of the paint (protective coating) is to isolate the steel from the environment and prevent the development of corrosion.

Paint is the most natural and widespread solution for isolation of steel from the corrosive environment. High quality painting will protect the steel for many years.

The Paint life durability as a protective layer depends on the choice of paints and especially on the way and quality of their application on the steel.

There are no shortcuts!
Only quality work with suitable paints, applied according to technical specifications and international standards,
will ensure long-term protection of the steel from rusting.

SL Protective Coating specializes in adapting paint systems for the purpose.
Specifications supported by international quality standards, performing quality checks and certified professional inspections of coating processes in factories and sites.
