Rust and corrosion in industry

Rust and corrosion can cause significant damage to machinery and equipment; weakening metal structures, causing them to fail and leading to increased repair and replacement costs.

Corrosion can cause friction and resistance in moving parts, reducing efficiency and increasing energy consumption. This can lead to increased operating costs and reduced productivity.

Rust and corrosion require frequent cleaning and maintenance to prevent further damage. This can increase maintenance costs and downtime, affecting production schedules and profits.

Rust and corrosion can release harmful chemicals and pollutants into the environment, causing environmental damage, whilst causing health hazards for workers and the public.
