ISO 2063 is officially titled:
"Thermal spraying — Zinc, aluminium and their alloys — Coating for corrosion protection"
The standard consists of two parts:
This standard defines:
✅ Materials (zinc, aluminum, zinc-aluminum alloys) suitable for spraying
🔧 Surface preparation and cleanliness requirements
🎯 Application procedures (flame or arc spraying)
📏 Coating thickness, adhesion, and porosity limits
🧪 Inspection and quality control protocols
ISO 2063 is widely used for steel structures exposed to corrosive atmospheres, especially in marine, coastal, industrial, and offshore environments
Corrosion is a major challenge for infrastructure and heavy equipment:
❌ Leads to structural failures
❌ Increases maintenance and repair costs
❌ Reduces asset lifespan and reliability
ISO 2063 provides an effective, long-term solution by standardizing thermal spray coating applications, helping industries protect assets from harsh environmental exposure.
Using ISO 2063-compliant coatings brings major technical and operational benefits:
🛡️ Superior Corrosion Protection
Coatings last up to 20+ years even in harsh coastal or industrial conditions.
🔩 Compatibility with Large Structures
Ideal for bridges, pipelines, tanks, towers, and marine equipment.
🧱 Enhanced Durability
Zinc and aluminum coatings offer sacrificial protection, preventing substrate corrosion.
🔍 Standardized Quality Control
Ensures coatings are applied and tested per strict ISO parameters.
♻️ Environmentally Safer Alternative
Compared to some paint systems, metal spray coatings offer longer intervals between recoating, reducing VOC usage and waste.
Partnering with GMC to implement ISO 2063 can offer tangible business benefits:
✅ Extended Asset Life
Significantly delay rust and corrosion on exposed steel structures.
✅ Reduced Maintenance Costs
Lower the frequency and cost of repairs or recoating cycles.
✅ Increased Project Value and ROI
Enhance asset integrity and reliability for infrastructure investors.
✅ Compliance with Industry and Government Specifications
Meet ISO, EN, and project-specific coating standards (often required in tenders).
✅ Support for Green and Sustainable Construction
Longer-lasting coatings align with sustainability and life-cycle cost principles.
✅ Improved Client and Stakeholder Trust
Demonstrates commitment to quality, durability, and international best practices
