Innovations in corrosion protection: how fasteners last longer under extreme conditions
Fasteners are often the invisible heroes in structures: small in size, but crucial to the safety and durability of a project. Especially in sectors such as offshore, petrochemical, infrastructure and renewable energy, fasteners are exposed to extreme conditions. Corrosion is one of the biggest threats in this regard.

Fortunately, innovations in corrosion protection are making fasteners last longer and become more reliable.
The problem of corrosion
Corrosion occurs when metals react with their environment, such as moisture, salt and chemicals. This can lead to:
- Reduced strength and eventual joint failure.
- Higher maintenance costs due to frequent replacement.
- Risks to safety and continuity of critical facilities.
So in industries where safety and reliability are key, corrosion protection is not a luxury, but a necessity.
Innovations in coatings and materials
In recent years, many innovations have been developed to better protect fasteners:
- Advanced zinc and alloy coatings that provide long-term protection even in salty offshore environments.
- Duplex coatings that combine multiple layers for optimal resistance.
- Stainless steel (SS) and special alloys that are more resistant to aggressive chemicals.
- Nano-coatings that form an extremely thin but very strong protective layer.
These innovations significantly extend service life and reduce the need for maintenance.
Practical benefits for projects
Thanks to better corrosion protection, companies benefit from:
- Lower total cost of ownership, due to fewer replacements and maintenance.
- Higher safety by greatly reducing the probability of failure.
- Sustainability because materials last longer and waste is avoided.
- Reliability even under extreme conditions such as offshore wind farms or chemical plants.
