This is a real-world lithium battery recycling site.

Most of the equipment has suffered severe corrosion—in less than two years.

The root cause isn't just harsh conditions,

but a combination of multiple factors:

🔥 Steam pipelines exceeding 200°C cause condensation

💧 Condensation leads to a high-temperature, high-humidity environment

☣️ Corrosive chemicals, including acids and salts, intensify the damage

🔧 Welds, bolts, columns, and steel structures have all been compromised

Even stainless steel can't withstand this environment.

This is not a problem that a layer of paint can fix.

At MONNEN, we recommend using

Cold spray zinc coatings + thermal insulation coatings

to stop condensation, block chemical penetration,

and deliver reliable long-term protection in high-temperature corrosion environments.
