MENA CORROSION PROTECTIVE COATINGS AND ACID PROOF LINING MARKET ANALYSIS

Corrosion protective coatings is applied on the surface in order to prevent degradation from oxidation, chemical, and moisture. It creates a barrier between the environmental factors and surface of the product that inhibit the corrosion of the surface. Zinc and titanium dioxide is commonly used for corrosion protective coatings. Acid proof lining provides resistance to chemical, mechanical, and thermal stresses. Moreover, acid proof linings are also used in the transition areas such as dry or wet and hot or cold.

MENA corrosion protective coatings & acid proof lining market was valued at US$ 2,583.7 million in 2022, and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.2% over the forecast period (2023-2030).
