The high economic impact of corrosion can be reduced by enhanced corrosion management and prevention based on appropriate means. This applies in particular to the protection of structures with organic protective coatings. Steel is subject to corrosion that reduces its service life and leads to destruction in most severe cases. The application of paints to metallic objects for corrosion control has been known for a long time and is nowadays the most popular technology of metal protection. High-performance coatings must meet specific performance requirements as well as environmental regulations. Recently, constantly increasing requirements about the anti-corrosion coatings combined with cost and environmental awareness make the need for smart coating selection for corrosion protection of industrial equipment and structures. A new approach to select protective systems for heavy, specific industrial environments has been proposed. To achieve this aim it uses evaluation of barrier and adhesional aspects of coating protection after short natural exposure.
