Corrosion protection matched
to your application.
Explore corrosion protection systems for storage tanks, pipelines, valves, marine infrastructure and exposed steelwork.
Which corrosion protection system fits your asset?
Start with the exposure and geometry. Zhuohuang matches the primary corrosion barrier, filling materials and outer protection as a complete build-up, then checks temperature, surface preparation and maintenance access.
| Application | System direction | Selection checks |
|---|---|---|
| Tank chime and annular edge | Petrolatum primer, flexible profiling mastic, industrial-grade tape and specified outer protection. | Joint movement, edge geometry, drainage and steel temperature. |
| Valves and flange encapsulation | Petrolatum with matching primer and mastic, or a viscoelastic tape-and-paste system without primer. | Bolt recesses, access to operating parts, standing water and inspection needs. |
| Buried pipelines and field joints | PE / PP tape with matching bitumen primer, or viscoelastic protection for coating repairs with a compatible outer wrap. | Existing coating, soil loading, cathodic protection and service temperature. |
| Jetty piles and splash-zone steel | Seawater-grade petrolatum tape, profile filling where needed and specified protective armour. | Wet or submerged application, tidal range, pile section and impact exposure. |
| Exposed pipework and supports | Matched petrolatum, viscoelastic or wax barrier with an outer layer selected for UV and handling. | Surface temperature, sunlight, coating transitions and access. |
| Coastal bolts and base plates | Conformable tape with mastic or paste around the connection and exposure-specific outer protection. | Salt spray, crevices, fastener inspection and atmospheric versus immersed service. |
These are selection routes. Confirm the complete build-up against the applicable data sheet and project conditions. Use the system configurator or request a technical system proposal.
Six application areas
These systems are chosen where a coating cannot be applied or cannot survive: complex geometry, surfaces that cannot be dried, assets that cannot be shut down, and details where film thickness cannot be controlled.
Storage Tank Base and Annular Plate
The shell-to-foundation joint is the shortest-lived detail on an above-ground tank — and hot work is normally not permitted.
Valves, Flanges and Buried Fittings
Film thickness cannot be controlled around a bolt head, and crevices between mating faces stay wet.
Buried Pipeline and Field Joints
Pipelines fail at the joints and the repairs, not in the mill-applied coating. Soil stress then works on whatever was applied.
Marine Steel, Piles and Splash Zone
Below the waterline the surface cannot be dried, so conventional coating systems cannot be applied at all.
Above-Ground Pipework and Structural Steel
Plant steel corrodes locally, not uniformly — at supports, fittings and bolted connections, where recoating means a shutdown.
Coastal Steel and Bolted Connections
Salt-laden air and wet–dry cycling concentrate corrosion at anchor bolts, base plates, gussets and other irregular connection details.

| Ports, marine and offshore | Jetty piles, splash-zone steel, loading arms, offshore foundations | Southeast Asia, Gulf states, East and West Africa |
| Gas distribution and utilities | Buried valves, chambers, city gas and water networks | Southeast Asia, North America, North Africa |
| Metallurgy and mining | Pipe racks, utility lines, structural steel in humid atmospheres | Southern Africa, Southeast Asia |
| Power generation | Cooling water lines, cooling tower steel, plant structures | Middle East, Southeast Asia |
| Shipbuilding and bridges | On-board pipework, fittings, flanges, structural connections | Southeast Asia, North America |
The regions column reflects where enquiries for each asset type most often originate. It is not a claim of installed reference projects in every territory listed — the projects we can evidence are listed, with client and date, on the project references page.
