ISO 12944 is a recognised industry standard that can be used to specify protective coatings up to operating temperatures of 120°C/248°F for structural steel at new construction.

By selecting specifications based on ISO 12944 provides you with:

·         Confidence that you are embracing the latest standards in corrosion control.

·         An objective approach to coating selection.

·         Reassurance that the protection you specify will be fit for purpose .

·         A meaningful coating design life to an ISO standard.

·         A globally accepted solution.

·         The following systems all offer a High degree of Protection in various different environmental conditions (as classifed by the ISO12944 Standard)

System A

A high durability coating specification designed for environments classified by ISO 12944-2 as C1 very low corrosivity.

System B

A high durability (above 15 years) coating specification designed for environments classified by ISO 12944-2 as C3 medium corrosivity.

System C

A high durability (above 15 years) coating specification designed for environments classified by ISO 12944-2 as C5-I very high corrosivity (Industrial). 

These are guideline specifications, in all instances we recommend that you contact International Protective Coatings for a more detailed response.
