Advanced Composite Corrosion Protection Systems for Long-Term Asset Integrity

Industrial assets exposed to aggressive operating environments are vulnerable to corrosion when moisture, oxygen, and chemicals are able to reach the substrate. In many cases, degradation is driven by a combination of:
Over time, these mechanisms can result in widespread corrosion, coating failure, and accelerated deterioration of the underlying asset.
At Icarus Composites, engineered composite barrier systems are applied to isolate assets from their environment, creating a continuous, impermeable protective layer that prevents corrosive agents from reaching the substrate.
Key performance benefits include:
The result is a robust corrosion barrier that arrests degradation, significantly reduces ongoing maintenance requirements and allows for the reinstallation of insulation.

Many assets experience corrosion in combination with abrasion and erosion, where mechanical wear continuously removes protective layers and exposes fresh material to corrosive attack. These conditions are commonly driven by:
Traditional corrosion protection systems often fail prematurely under these combined stresses.
At Icarus Composites, AEC systems are engineered to address abrasion, erosion, and corrosion simultaneously, using composite materials that absorb wear while maintaining a continuous corrosion barrier.
Key performance benefits include:
The result is a multi-functional protection system that performs reliably where single-mechanism solutions fall short.


Corrosion is often a progressive, long-term challenge that requires a strategic approach rather than reactive repair. Ageing assets are particularly susceptible due to:
Without intervention, corrosion can ultimately dictate asset end-of-life.
At Icarus Composites, corrosion protection systems are integrated into long-term asset integrity and corrosion management strategies, enabling degradation to be arrested and service life to be extended.
Key performance benefits include:
The result is a controlled, long-term corrosion management solution that maximises asset value and improves predictability of maintenance planning.
