This article presents a study of the major corrosion problems of steel structures in rubber and palm oil mill industries in Malaysia. Such structures, improperly coated with protective treatment (commercial coatings) were easily damaged by corrosion due to the environment within a month’s time. In order to prevent these types of corrosion problems, the epoxy‐silicone resin based paints were developed. The performance of the coatings were evaluated. These studies confirm the fact that the epoxy‐silicone coatings are effectively useful for protection of steel structures in these industries for considerably longer times.
