Cementitious anticorrosive lining architecture: Saint GobainRecent Research Landscape

Corrosion and fluid friction in transport infrastructure lead to high maintenance costs and pipe failure. Engineering the specific surface area and additive distribution of mortar linings mitigates degradation and extends asset life.

What technical problems is Saint Gobain addressing in Cementitious anticorrosive lining architecture?

Internal pipeline surface corrosion

(4)evidences

Corrosive wear and structural weakening of inner metal surfaces in tanks and pipes. Preventing this failure extends infrastructure lifespan and reduces maintenance costs.

Internal pipe wall degradation

(3)evidences

Discontinuities at pipe ends and spigots lead to localized lining failure and substrate exposure. Eliminating manual touch-ups and ensuring barrier continuity prevents premature structural degradation in corrosive environments.

Corrosive substrate degradation

(1)evidences

Aggressive agents penetrate porous cementitious matrices to cause structural degradation. Preventing this ingress ensures long-term integrity of the underlying infrastructure.
