Hi there,

Im working in an important electric transmission company in South América.

We are actually having some corrosion issues in our electric towers in C5-I and C5-M zones, and i am looking for the best coatings in order to prevent the corrosion and to reduce the maintenance of the towers as much as we can.

C5-I: Very High - Industry: Industrial areas with high humidity and aggressive atmosphere
C5-M: Very High - Marine: Coastal and offshore areas with high salinity

Which coatings do you recomend to protect transmision towers exposed to those conditions?

Thanks!

When I was working for a local utility we used either epoxy or hot dip galvanized coating systems.
