The document discusses the high costs of corrosion in India and issues with current anti-corrosion coatings. It states that corrosion is a major maintenance cost over the lifespan of equipment. Current coatings require clean, dry surfaces with a profile for proper adhesion but are often applied to surfaces that are not properly prepared. This can cause adhesion and barrier issues, leading to coating failures and corrosion. The document recommends using coatings that are more surface tolerant and can perform even on rusty, damp or poorly prepared surfaces. It provides examples of applications of such high performance coatings in industries.
