This paper is a literature review of coatings that aim to reduce corrosion in metallic pipelines that are in contact with saltwater. Among the existing coatings, the most common and ecologically available ones are: asphaltic enamel (AE), epoxy resin, Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE), Neoprene and multilayer coatings (polyethylene-PE, polypropylene-PP and polyurethane-PU). Due to the need by the industries, new technologies in this field are being developed. Carbon nanotubes, DLC (diamond type carbon), and self-recoating coating are some of the new coatings that are in evidence due to their hydrophobic property. There are many industrial applications that require high resistance to saltwater corrosion, such as coastal factories, onshore and offshore platforms, tidal power plants, and water desalination, which justify researches of new technologies in this area.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
