 Concrete carbonation is a natural process that occurs gradually when concrete is exposed to air. Here is a clear and structured explanation:
 
 In the ISO 12944 standard, which defines corrosion protection for steel structures using protective paint systems, the C5 Very High (C5-VH) classification refers to the most severe atmospheric corrosion environments – C5 – with the demand for a long durability – Very High / VH – of the coating system.
 
 This table provides an overview of the most common coating systems tailored to different environments and expected durability levels.
