Petrochemical products have a significant role in everyday life. Without them, fuels, solvents, drugs, clothing, flooring, insulation, beauty products, electronics, and other products that you rely upon might not exist. Before these products enter homes and businesses, crude oils and fuels sit in steel storage tanks that are vulnerable to corrosion. Corrosion control programs that include regular maintenance, inspections and proper surface preparation for coating applications enhance the safety of workers while protecting the integrity of the raw materials.
