3 Ways to Prevent Industrial Corrosion With Coatings and Linings
Corrosion is a silent, relentless threat for every industrial facility—eating away at pipelines, tanks, and critical infrastructure. Left unchecked, corrosion leads to leaks, downtime, safety hazards, and expensive repairs. The good news? With the right coatings and linings, you can stop corrosion before it starts, ensuring the long-term reliability and safety of your operation. Here are three proven ways RAK Industrial Services helps facilities like yours prevent corrosion and safeguard your assets.
1. Apply the Right Corrosion-Resistant Coating System
Not all coatings are created equal. Selecting a high-performance, engineered coating system is your first and most important line of defense against rust and decay. RAK offers a range of specialty coatings—including epoxy, vinyl ester, polyurethane, and plural-component systems—tailored to your exact operating conditions.
How it works:
- Coatings form a tough, impermeable barrier on metal surfaces, blocking out moisture, chemicals, and oxygen—the key ingredients for corrosion.
- Systems can be customized for chemical resistance, high temperatures, or abrasion, based on your industry’s specific needs.
- NSF 61-certified and immersion-grade options are available for potable water, food, and chemical applications.
Proper surface preparation (like abrasive blasting) and professional application are essential for long-lasting protection.
2. Use Internal Pipe Linings to Prevent Product and Water Corrosion
Pipe interiors are especially vulnerable to hidden corrosion, which can lead to leaks, contamination, and reduced flow. RAK’s advanced lining solutions—such as epoxy, vinyl ester, and polyurea linings—are engineered to stop corrosion from the inside out.
How it works:
- Internal linings are sprayed or trowel-applied as liquids and cure to form a seamless, chemical-resistant barrier.
- These linings shield pipe interiors from harsh substances, water, and product abrasion—dramatically extending service life.
- Specialty linings (including NSF 61 and acid-resistant options) are available for even the most demanding industrial environments.
Regular inspection and early intervention are key—lining pipes before corrosion is visible maximizes the benefits and minimizes repair costs.
3. Protect Tanks, Containments, and Critical Infrastructure with Specialty Linings
It’s not just pipes—tanks, secondary containment areas, and structural assets require robust protection against chemical attack and environmental exposure. RAK Industrial Services offers a suite of specialty linings designed for extreme durability and compliance.
How it works:
- High-end tank linings, secondary containment coatings, and FRP (fiber-reinforced polymer) linings provide multi-layered defense against aggressive chemicals, acids, and physical wear.
- These linings are engineered to withstand temperature swings, UV exposure, and impact, ensuring your infrastructure stays protected year-round.
- Applications include chemical storage, wastewater treatment, mining, power generation, and more.
Be proactive—schedule regular reviews of your tanks and containments, and upgrade linings before environmental or safety issues arise.
