Who We Are

In order to increase the return on investments of industrial assets and increase public and environmental protection, corrosion management has to be part of organizations’ strategic planning. 

 

MetChem, as a leading distributor for Cortec® corrosion solutions for Canada, will support these strategic planning processes, working together to create and implement corrosion management system frameworks. MetChem has technical support along with research and development through Cortec® Corporation.

 

MetChem provides appropriate industry-oriented corrosion solutions suited to each industry’s unique corrosion challenges.

Why We Care

In the Oil and Gas industry, corrosion has been estimated to cost as much as $3-7 Billion USD annually, according to Genome Canada. 

 

The study, International Measures of Prevention and Economics of Corrosion Technology (IMPACT), estimates a price tag of $6.3 Billion CAD annually for corrosion-related deterioration and failures of national assets. The study also identified savings between 15-35% of that amount through the implementation of existing corrosion control practices.
