The global cost of corrosion was an estimated $2.5 trillion USD in 2016, according to a study published by NACE International. Allowing for inflation, that number could easily surpass $3 trillion USD today. Unfortunately, many are not aware of the high price tag of corrosion even for individual businesses and corporations. Cortec® Corporation therefore encourages manufacturers, maintenance managers, and other decision-makers to consider the potential cost of corrosion and take reasonable measures to avoid it.
