This book chapter discussed the various anticorrosive coatings, namely
barrier, inhibitive, sacrificial, inorganic coatings, organic coatings, surface treatment,
and importance of inhibitors to reduce the corrosion rate in metal and alloys. The
various modified coatings were introduced to reduce pores, and defects observed in
conventional coatings. The water permeability through the barrier coatings was also
reduced using pigmentation of organic coatings.
Keywords: Anticorrosive, Hybrid inorganic-organic Coatings, Inhibitors,
Inorganic and Organic Coatings, Sacrificial Coatings.
