Barrier Coatings & Environmental Isolation

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:

  • Atmospheric exposure and cyclic wetting
  • Chemical splash, vapour, or mist exposure
  • Condensation and moisture ingress
  • Breakdown or ageing of traditional coating systems

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:

  • Complete environmental isolation from moisture and oxygen
  • High chemical resistance in aggressive service conditions
  • Seamless, joint-free protection over complex geometries
  • Long-term durability beyond traditional coating systems

The result is a robust corrosion barrier that arrests degradation, significantly reduces ongoing maintenance requirements and allows for the reinstallation of insulation.

Corrosion-Resistant Composite Overlays

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:

  • Chemical splash, vapour, or mist exposure
  • Condensation and moisture ingress
  • Breakdown or ageing of traditional coating systems

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:

  • Complete environmental isolation from moisture and oxygen
  • High chemical resistance in aggressive service conditions
  • Seamless, joint-free protection over complex geometries
  • Long-term durability beyond traditional coating systems

The result is a robust corrosion barrier that arrests degradation, significantly reduces ongoing maintenance requirements and allows for the reinstallation of insulation.

Abrasion, Erosion & Corrosion Protection (AEC) Systems

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:

  • Particulate-laden flow or soil interaction
  • Repeated mechanical wear or scouring
  • Cyclic exposure in splash and transition zones
  • Combined mechanical and chemical degradation mechanisms

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:

  • Integrated protection against abrasion, erosion, and corrosion
  • Sacrificial wear layers that preserve substrate integrity
  • Suitability for buried, back-filled, and flow-exposed assets
  • Extended service life in high-wear environments

The result is a multi-functional protection system that performs reliably where single-mechanism solutions fall short.

Long-Term Corrosion Management & Life Extension

Corrosion is often a progressive, long-term challenge that requires a strategic approach rather than reactive repair. Ageing assets are particularly susceptible due to:

  • Historic coating breakdown
  • Long-term environmental exposure
  • Limited access for maintenance
  • Increasing inspection and repair frequency

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:

  • Arrest of ongoing corrosion processes
  • Life extension of ageing assets
  • Preventative corrosion protection of new or refurbished assets
  • Reduced maintenance and inspection burden
  • Deferral of major repair or replacement expenditure

The result is a controlled, long-term corrosion management solution that maximises asset value and improves predictability of maintenance planning.
