Kinetrol Corrosion Protection

Kinetrol Corrosion Protection


Kinetrol is seeing a rise in customer requests for corrosion protection that meets BS EN ISO 12944 standards, including classifications such as C3, C4, and CX.

What is BS EN ISO 12944?


BS EN ISO 12944 is the industry standard for corrosion protection of steel structures using protective paint systems. The standard's key components include environmental classification, protective paint systems, and laboratory test methods. Part 2 of the standard focuses on selecting paint finishes for various environments. These environmental classifications are what customers reference when specifying their required paint or coating finish. 

Although BS EN ISO 12944-2 does not directly apply to Kinetrol products, Kinetrol offers product specifications that provide equivalent corrosion protection.
