Arthur Cole Painting announces a guide for facility managers on industrial anti-corrosion coatings, covering selection criteria, application standards, and ROI scenarios to reduce maintenance costs and extend asset lifespan.
-- Arthur Cole Painting has released a guide designed to help facility managers protect critical infrastructure through strategic use of anti-corrosion coatings. The resource addresses the need to control costs while extending the operational lifespan of industrial assets, offering guidance on coating selection, application standards, and return-on-investment scenarios. Facility managers now have access to a structured framework for evaluating protective coating systems that can reduce maintenance expenses and improve safety outcomes.

Corrosion represents a quantifiable threat to facility budgets and operations worldwide. According to global industry research, the cost of corrosion reaches approximately $2.5 trillion annually, equivalent to roughly 3.4% of global GDP. At the facility level, unchecked corrosion can lead to substantial financial losses through repairs, unplanned downtime, and premature equipment replacement. The guide positions these losses as preventable through proactive investment in properly specified coating systems.
Research cited in the guide demonstrates that effective corrosion management using protective coatings can save between 15% and 35% of the cost of corrosion damage. A case study involving oil and gas infrastructure showed that implementing an anti-corrosion program extended the service life of critical assets substantially, reducing replacement costs and operational interruptions. The guide walks facility managers through these documented savings scenarios, connecting coating investment to measurable financial outcomes.
Proper surface preparation is widely recognized as the most critical factor in coating performance, according to industry data included in the resource. The guide covers key standards from NACE/AMPP and SSPC, including surface profile requirements and SSPC-SP 10/NACE No. 2 specifications for near-white blast cleaning. Facility managers receive practical checklists and clear explanations of these technical requirements, along with detailed coverage of three main coating types: epoxy systems, powder coatings, and zinc-rich primers. Each coating type is matched to specific industrial environments and performance demands.
The guide helps facility managers select appropriate coatings based on exposure conditions such as chemical resistance needs, UV stability requirements, high humidity environments, and salt-laden atmospheres. Different substrates and operational demands require tailored solutions—epoxy coatings for chemical processing plants, powder coating for outdoor machinery exposed to weather, and zinc-rich primers for oil and gas infrastructure. These recommendations are tied directly to regulatory compliance requirements and improved operational safety, giving facility managers a clear path to meeting industry standards while protecting assets.
Arthur Cole Painting positions the guide as a toolkit covering fundamentals of anti-corrosion technology, types of protective coatings, step-by-step application processes, common pitfalls and prevention strategies, and ROI calculations. The resource equips facility managers with both strategic knowledge and practical application details, establishing the company as a partner for organizations seeking to reduce maintenance costs, extend asset lifespan, improve safety, and achieve regulatory compliance. Facility managers are invited to consult with Arthur Cole Painting for assessment and implementation support.
