OVERVIEW: Chemcote provided a long term corrosion protection for significantly damaged 25-year-old asset. A quick turn-around was required to meet project milestone targets and was achieved with minimal disruption to rolling mill operations. Chemcote ensure all QA and critical tolerances were adhered to provide the desired solution. No damage was visible at the six month follow up, confirming that solution will deliver long term protection against future deterioration.
