The trial began on 5<sup>th<\/sup> December 2017 and so far, EonCoat is living up to its rapidly growing reputation.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to alternative polymer-based corrosion protection products, EonCoat alloys metal oxides to non-alloy steel or iron to form a thin chemically inert layer incapable of reacting to oxygen or moisture, combining the corrosion resistance of an alloy and the abrasion resistance of a ceramic. In other words, it becomes part of the asset surface, rather than just forming a jacket of protection.<\/p>\n<p>To find out more about EonCoat visit our dedicated <a href=\"\/coating-technology\/eoncoat\/\">EonCoat page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr style=\"display:block; border:none; color:white; height:1px; background: #ccc; background: -webkit-gradient(radial, 50% 50%, 0, 50% 50%, 350, from(#ccc), to(#f8f8f8)); margin: 35px 0 35px 0;\" \/>\n<p><strong>Billy Mackay &#8211; Asset Integrity Specialist for the Oil &amp; Gas Technology Centre, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cCorrosion costs the UK economy \u00a328 billion per year and it is a major cause of downtime and lost production in the oil and gas industry.
