CORROSION CONTROL

Comprehensive Corrosion Control Services by Entekra

Corrosion is a pervasive issue that can significantly impact the durability and safety of metal structures. At Entekra, we don’t just help you understand corrosion - we provide effective solutions to mitigate and prevent it. Our team of experts utilises advanced methods to address corrosion, ensuring that your structures remain strong, reliable, and protected for the long term.

What is Corrosion and Why Does it Matter?

Corrosion is the natural deterioration of metals caused by electrochemical reactions. Common examples include rust on iron, tarnish on silver, and the blue-green patina on copper. Left unchecked, corrosion can compromise structural integrity and lead to costly repairs or replacements.

In Australia, corrosion costs the economy over $100 billion annually, with more than 30% of these expenses deemed preventable through proper management and intervention.

Causes of Corrosion

Corrosion is triggered by interactions between metals and substances like oxygen, hydrogen, contaminants, and electrical currents. Additional factors such as stress, moisture, and temperature variations can accelerate the process, leading to:

• Pitting Corrosion: Localised damage forming holes or cavities.
• Crevice Corrosion: Occurs in areas with limited oxygen, like beneath washers or bolt heads.
• Stress Corrosion Cracking: Cracks caused by tensile stress in a corrosive environment.
• Galvanic Corrosion: When two dissimilar metals in contact corrode at different rates.
• 
  

How Entekra Addresses Corrosion

At Entekra, we focus on proactive and effective solutions to combat corrosion at its source. Our comprehensive services include:

Wrapping Band Applications

Ideal for pipelines, beams, and other exposed metal surfaces, our wrapping band applications provide an additional protective layer to prevent exposure to corrosive elements.

Wet Spray Treatments

Using advanced wet spray techniques, we apply high-performance coatings that form a durable barrier against moisture, chemicals, and environmental stressors.

Casement Filling

We seal and protect critical areas, such as joints and voids, with corrosion-resistant materials to prevent water ingress and material degradation.

Surface Preparation and Coatings

We prepare surfaces using abrasive techniques and apply specialised coatings, including epoxy, polyurethane, and zinc-rich primers, to safeguard against wear and corrosion.
