- Abstract
- The maintenance of water distribution and storage systems worldwide is a costly process due to corrosion. Corrosion severely reduces the useful lifetime of water distribution pipes and mains, and adversely affects the quality of potable water. Corrosion-resistant protective coatings are an excellent means to address the issue by creating a barrier that prevents access of water as a corrosion-mediating electrolyte to the pipe wall and the subsequent dissolution and erosion of contaminants from the pipe wall into the water. Advenira’s environmentally friendly Solution Derived Nanocomposite (SDN®) coating technology has yielded two different protective coating formulations. This paper reports the properties of these coatings with particular focus on corrosion prevention in water distribution and storage systems.
