Founded in 1961, Tinôco Anticorrosão is a leading Brazilian company based in Rio de Janeiro and it is now managed by Marcelo Tinôco (the company CEO).
Since taking leadership of the company, Marcelo Tinôco implemented new practices related to product value creation and modernization of management practices that consolidated the importance of the Securit™ 2 Elastomer System. Over the years, the Securit 2™ eco-elastomer, single-component and cold-applied, has gained market recognition that identifies in the elastomeric technology a highly effective corrosion protective system for the industry.
The Securit ™ 2 Elastomer Coating System was developed and formulated to offer barrier corrosion protection in areas, equipment, metallic structures and interfaces between steel and concrete, in very high humidity areas. The Securit ™ 2 Elastomer has been formulated with state of-the-art polymers and combined with additives that ensure corrosion protection and waterproofing. This is specially indicated for the protection of areas and equipment under special conditions, such as:
Flanges, valves, gaps, junction plates, bolts, nuts, sharp corners, weld beading, corner sand edges, pipeline supports, support for structures, tank supports, clamps, and dissimilar material/metallic joints
Especially at these locations, where there are gaps, crevice corrosion can initiate as result of the formation of differential aeration cell or bimetallic corrosion. This type of corrosion is responsible for 50% the corrosion observed on site.
The elasticity of the Securit™2 Elastomer prevents the development of crevice corrosion by preventing the ingress of humidity and corrosive species into the gaps. This differs from other conventional systems which are not as flexible to accommodate the expansion and shrinkage of equipment/ materials during service/ exposure due to temperature changes and work conditions.
The efficiency of the Securit ™ 2 Elastomer has been proven in the field mainly in industrial plants, offshore and onshore units, environments that present high rates of corrosiveness due to marine (salt spray) atmosphere and polluted (SO₂, CO₂) atmospheres, high concentration of polluting gases and chemical agents are often found in these industrial sites.
The manufacture of the Securit ™ 2 Elastomer is carried out in a joint venture between Tinôco Anticorrosão and Química Industrial União Ltda – a traditional Brazilian paint industry founded in the 1960s – However, this joint venture production of Securit ™ 2 Elastomer has been aligned to the commitment to quality and technological innovation and ecologically and environmental practices which are part of the DNA of Tinôco Anticorrosão
Based on its successful track record and without losing focus on its important role in the health & safety, protection, sustainability, productivity, and cost reduction of the industrial sector, Tinôco Anticorrosão’s current investment policy is also focused on the expansion of its product line
In Brazil, Tinôco Anticorrosão operates with renowned industrial complexes, petrochemical complexes, production, and logistics companies on both: offshore and onshore activities, mainly located in the Brazilian marine coast and situated in areas of high corrosion rates.
CORROSION
It is a natural process and a crucial problem around the world due to its economic and environmental consequences with an impact on productivity and on the health, and safety of the workforce.
Atmospheric corrosion can lead to severe degradation of metallic and non-metallic structures, causing high financial damage, serious accidents, and environmental disasters. The losses associated with corrosion in Brazil are estimated to be around US$10 billion, mostly in the oil & gas industry.
The overall cost of corrosion is estimated at US$2.5Trillions, which equates to 3.4% of World GDP (Source: AMPP, The Association for Materials Protection and Performance). However, companies could save between 15 and 30% of this cost by using appropriate corrosion control practices. With billions of dollars savings that would be available for investments in other areas.
The durability of the infrastructure assets of the industries is reduced by the action of corrosion that is accelerated by: the presence of pollutants in the atmosphere, high relative humidity, marine atmosphere (Sodium chloride salts) and high temperature.
Annual Average Temperature
The properties and features of application of the Securit™ 2 (environmentally friendly, non – flammable, non- toxic) Elastomer, allows for a wide use in various industrial environments and have many advantages over other corrosion protection application methods. The system high elasticity ensures simple action for removal of the system from screws and flanges surfaces during maintenance or repair. In addition to its elasticity, its excellent adhesion to both metal and concrete surfaces allows the coating to encapsulate screws (heads and threads) and prevents breaks and / or cracks in the protective film thus preventing ingress of moisture and oxygen, which causes the onset of corrosion. Cold application by means of a brush is simple and fast (check out our Technical Bulletins for Primer and Finishing/top coat).
The system is compatible with metallic structures of various shapes and sizes, equipment of complex geometries preventing initiation and propagation of crevice corrosion, galvanic corrosion, and atmospheric corrosion. The Securit™ 2 Elastomer protects and provides sealing with superior performance when compared to less flexible coating systems and other more conventional anticorrosive treatments. Its flexibility places it in an outstanding position in the industrial corrosion protection market.
Nowdays, the Securit™ 2 Elastomer system is a regular requirement as part of the technical specifications of several companies and also required in several industrial maintenance projects mainly on offshore production platforms PETROBRAS, MODEC, as well as at Braskem’s petrochemical plants, at ArcelorMittal, (steel production), Gas & Energy Transpetro/TAG/ENGIE ( PETROBRAS) pipeline terminals, SUZANO e BRACELL (pulp and paper industries), VALE (mining units), ENEVA (thermoelectric plant) in Pecém thermoelectric complex, CEARÁ, at BASF Acrylic Complex at Camaçari Industrial Complex in BAHIA, among other companies.
The Securit™ 2 Elastomer is the only product with in service applications showing more than 7 (seven) years of good corrosion protection performance in flanged joints.

Industrial coating remains the most cost-effective
treatment for corrosion protection in industry.
The use of industrial coating has a competitive cost compared to other linings. Despite these well-known benefits conventional paint system may fail for many reasons such as: due to inadequate treatment for specific areas, such as:
crevices, flanges and screws/ nuts, pipe support, areas of high humidity, support structures. At interface sites such as: between soil atmosphere and water atmosphere, among others.
The biggest differential of the Securit™ 2 Elastomer when compared to other coating systems, is its flexibility that adapts and wraps itself to these special sites. It also has advantages especially because it is a water-based product and of simple removal from flanges and screws surfaces when any intervention is necessary.
SECURIT ™ 2 ELASTOMER it is especially suitable for corrosion protection on surfaces with critical areas and geometric profiles.
And mainly, because it is a viscous paste and extremely flexible product, its application is carried out by spreading it over the surface, different from traditional painting systems.
The Securit™ 2 Elastomer ensures corrosion protection of critical areas, especially because it is complemented using gap beading (low density polyethylene foam) forming a high-performance system in the protection of gaps or similar areas. This combination is especially used where there are crevices between flange faces and between dissimilar materials as metal/concrete interfaces specifically at the gaps of tank bottoms and supports.
