Corrosion Prevention Malaysia
Metal is a solid material that became fundamental in the development of infrastructures regardless of the scale being big or small. Although metal has many uses, it is also prone to losing its structural integrity in time due to corrosion. Corrosion usually occurs owing to a chemical reaction known as oxidization, besides that, exposure to moisture and electrical current can also cause corrosion in metal roofing.
Given that there are many ways metal roofs can deteriorate. How can one prevent corrosion? We at Metal Roof Doctor suggest three effective ways to tackle the problem:
- Avoid Ineffective Surroundings – Limit or eliminate the exposure of metal to environments that can trigger corrosion. Primarily, places with a lot of moisture and air flow. However, this preventive measure may not be too convenient for structures that require the use of metal in places that have moisture. It would be more efficient if the selected metal has other properties that allow it to be less corrosive in the harsh, exposed environment. However, customers can always opt for metal roof maintenance to ensure that their roof stays healthy even under extreme weather.
- Use Suitable Metal – Utilizing the right type of metal which is catered for specific reasons and surroundings can help curb corrosion. For instance, carbon steel, aluminum, and stainless steel are known to have resistance to corrosion and therefore may be used for a variety of purposes. At Metal Roof Doctor, we offer consultation on the best type of metal to use.
- Apply Metal Surface Coatings – Another way to prevent metal corrosion is by plating the metal with a substance that acts as a protective layer against the environment. In this respect, even if the metal is placed in a corrosion-inducing surrounding, it will not easily deteriorate as the coating keeps the structure of the steel. Metal Roof Doctor offers roof coating and roof recoating services to customers who want to prolong the lifespan of their roofing.
Although metal is a material that may lose its stability due to corrosion, the preventive measures listed above are proven to be helpful in reducing and eliminating the occurrence of corrosion of equipment and facilities. For further inquiries on this solution, please contact us at 017-485 8073.
