Corrosion resistance

Corrosion costs in the U.S. alone currently exceed $300 billion a year. What might not be fully appreciated is that approximately one-third of these losses can be avoided by the correct use of existing products and technology. Serious corrosion is generally associated with an absorptive insulation. Corrosion is most severe in the temperature range where liquid water can be present. It is not as much of a concern in cold or hot applications where water would freeze or turn to a gaseous state.
