Corrosion costs the global economy over $2.2 trillion annually, causing widespread damage to infrastructure, equipment and resources. Addressing this pervasive issue requires innovative solutions and Versaperm's advanced permeability meter offers a powerful new approach to minimizing these losses.

Understanding how moisture permeates materials over time is essential for optimizing anti-corrosion coatings like paints. With precise permeability measurements, developers can customise coatings to withstand specific environmental conditions, enhancing their durability and effectiveness in preventing corrosion.

Corrosion impacts almost all metals. Although many coatings are effective at blocking liquid water, they often fail to protect properly against water vapour and oxygen, which are key drivers of corrosion. This shortfall leads to the rust and deterioration that shortens the lifespan of materials and structures. Versaperm's Permeability Meter addresses this challenge by accurately measuring the permeability of coatings to water vapour, oxygen and virtually any other gas.

The device combines precision and versatility with ease of use. It delivers highly accurate results, often reaching parts per million (PPM) or even parts per billion (PPB) for some materials and gases. The meter can analyse any combination of gases, including hydrocarbons, solvents, oxygen, carbon dioxide and water vapour, under various environmental conditions to simulate real-world scenarios. Its computerisation and automation mean minimal training is required, making it a practical solution for organisations of all sizes.

By incorporating vapour permeability measurements into their corrosion prevention strategies, industries can improve coating performance, even in extreme or exotic environments and extend the operational lifespan of their materials and assets. These advancements also contribute to reducing environmental and economic impacts, resulting in substantial long-term cost savings.

For companies that do not require their own equipment, Versaperm offers a comprehensive permeability and diffusive flow lab testing service. This option provides businesses with access to cutting-edge technology and expertise without the need for investment in specialized instruments.

Corrosion no longer needs to be an inevitable and costly challenge. With Versaperm’s innovative technology, industries can adopt a proactive approach to minimising losses, protecting their assets and achieving greater sustainability.
