Corrosion Protection for Ships
Ships are regularly exposed to some of the most corrosive environments imaginable.
Damage from salt water below the ship's waterline, along with weathering from elements such as salt spray, fog, and UV rays can degrade the ship's structure over time.
AIT's line of FLUOROSEAL ® CPC corrosion protection coatings provide unmatched, field-applicable protection from such damage - above and below waterline. FLUOROSEAL ® is also proven to increase the time between maintenance periods, which means more operational days at sea.

Protection for Concrete Buildings & Infrastructure
From high-rises and bridges to parking garages and tunnels, much of the world's infrastructure is constructed using reinforced concrete as a critical component.
These structures are susceptible to a wide variety of weathering elements. Acid rain, UV rays, moisture laden with salt ions, corrosive gases, and water ingress corroding the steel reinforcement bars, can degrade the concrete surface over time and weaken the overall structure.
AIT's line of FLUOROSEAL ® CRC concrete protection coatings provide field-applicable protection from such damage. Whether you're protecting a brand-new building or looking to keep an older structure from deteriorating even further, FLUOROSEAL ® provides a proven barrier against all of these damaging elements.

Over-Coating for Bridges, Windmills, & Other Critical Infrastructure
Structural coatings on steel infrastructure such as steel bridges, windmills, etc. are effective under straight maintenance protocols. The maintenance processes of the structural coatings are extensive and expensive and often extended when the degradation is not obvious. However, the penetration and trapped water molecules along with dissolved corrosive gases are not always obvious.

FLUOROSEAL® Field-Applicable Corrosion Protection
“Protection of metals from corrosion is a topical issue affecting all areas of the world’s economy. The losses due to the damage associated with marine transport corrosion during the period of construction or operation constitute approx. 50–80 billion USD and approx. 3 % of world GDP. Statistics show that 90% of ship failures are attributed to corrosion.”

Why Durable Concrete Structures Still Nees a Protective Coating
Reinforced concrete and their proven strength and durability is the foundation of all the beautiful and long-lasting high-rise buildings and infrastructures. The partial collapsed of the Florida Champlain Towers South (a 12-floor condominium in Surfside) on June 24, 2021, is shaking the building industry. There is now an industry call to revamp how high-rise buildings are to be constructed.
