Anti-Corrosion and Protective

---

Anti-corrosion and protective coatings are essential for preventing material degradation caused by moisture, chemicals, oxidation, and extreme environments. Key technologies include barrier coatings, sacrificial coatings, and conversion coatings, which enhance corrosion resistance, adhesion, and durability. Advanced formulations such as ceramic, polymeric, and nanocomposite coatings offer superior protection in marine, automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications. Self-healing and smart coatings with responsive properties further improve longevity. Computational modeling aids in optimizing coating formulations and performance, ensuring cost-effective and sustainable solutions for diverse industries.
