ipcm® International Paint&Coating Magazine

Although protecting onshore assets against corrosion can be difficult, doing the same on offshore structures is a real challenge, which can cost up to fifteen times more than maintenance at the factory. The technology offered to counteract the effects of offshore and marine corrosion is increasingly evolved. This issue of ipcm®_Protective Coatings – distributed at the trade fairs SMM and WindEnergy in Hamburg, Euronaval in Paris, Eurocorr in Krakow, and ONS in Stavanger – presents a special report about offshore and marine coatings and their main innovations. This issue of ipcm®_Protective Coatings inaugurates also a new section that will collect exclusive interviews, comparisons, projects, and activities devoted to environmental, social, and economic sustainability, commonly defined as a practice that «meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs».
