If there is one term or descriptor that captures much of the service that Graham Industrial provides, it is “corrosion control.”

 

Corrosion is the process whereby refined metal alloys and concrete are under electro-chemical attack from their various environments and break down resulting in a degraded condition. When steel and concrete corrodes, it loses strength, thickness, and material integrity. 

One of our primary goals is to protect metal and concrete surfaces from the corrosion process. Another of our goals is to restore material integrity to these moderately degraded substrates that still have serviceable life if the corrosion process can be stopped.

In the paint and coatings world, “paint” typically describes an aesthetic product used to enhance the beauty of a surface, and “coatings” describe a series of liquid-applied corrosion-control chemical film.

“Linings” are coating products that are used in immersion conditions such as tank and piping internals, tank farm secondary containments, and water / waste-water internal infrastructure.

We also liquify and spray metal alloys and apply it as a protective coating on steel. This process is called “metallization.”
