Abstract
The present invention relates to a system and method for protecting and/or coating surfaces such as the surfaces of pipes, flues and/or conduits against corrosive environments which may be contained within or outside of the pipe, flue and/or conduit. More particularly, in one embodiment the present invention relates to a pipe, flue and/or conduit which has been coated with two or more layers which act to improve the corrosion resistance of the metal pipe, flue and/or conduit.
