The Dual Anti-Corrosion Mechanism
Corrosion generally commences when a protective coating has been damaged. e.g. cracking.
ecosparc enhanced coatings:
Delay coating cracking. This delays the onset of corrosion.
When damage does finally occur, ecosparc further limits corrosion spread by >25%.
Significantly increasing the time between maintenance events.
