A disadvantage of many commonly used impregnants and resins is their high toxicity, related to the presence of harmful aromatic hydrocarbons and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in their composition. VOCs account for a relatively large approx. 30% portion in the synthetic resins industry. One idea for reducing or eliminating VOCs from the production of resins, paints is the use of high-quality intermediates and biodegradable raw materials. A perspective on novel approaches to protecting concrete surfaces was presented, involving a concept of using two types of higher fatty acids for this purpose: stearic acid (STA) and methyl esters (ME). Recent technological advancements have centered on vegetable oil feedstocks for industrial applications. This is due to their suitability for industrial production of agents, as they substitute non-renewable hydrocarbons. The cited tests confirm the hydrophobic nature of coatings formed using STA and ME on various materials. From the analysis of the literature, it appears that the study of anticorrosion coatings with biodegradable admixtures, i.e. higher fatty acids, should be developed because of their promising results in efficiency, reduction of toxic substances (VOCs) and their impact on the environment.

Wadą wielu powszechnie stosowanych impregnatów i żywic jest ich wysoka toksyczność, związana z obecnością szkodliwych węglowodorów aromatycznych i lotnych związków organicznych (LZO) w ich składzie. LZO stanowią stosunkowo dużą, ok. 30% część w przemyśle żywic syntetycznych. Jednym z pomysłów na redukcję lub wyeliminowanie LZO z produkcji żywic i farb jest stosowanie wysokiej jakości półproduktów i biodegradowalnych surowców. Przedstawiono perspektywę nowych podejść do ochrony powierzchni betonowych, obejmującą koncepcję wykorzystania w tym celu dwóch rodzajów wyższych kwasów tłuszczowych: kwasu stearynowego (STA) i estrów metylowych (ME). Ostatnie postępy technologiczne skupiają się na surowcach z olejów roślinnych do zastosowań przemysłowych. Wynika to z ich przydatności do przemysłowej produkcji środków, ponieważ zastępują one nieodnawialne węglowodory. Przytoczone badania potwierdzają hydrofobowy charakter powłok tworzonych przy użyciu STA i ME na różnych materiałach. Z analizy literatury wynika, że należy rozwijać badania nad powłokami antykorozyjnymi z domieszkami biodegradowalnymi, tj. wyższymi kwasami tłuszczowymi, ze względu na ich obiecujące wyniki w zakresie efektywności, redukcji substancji toksycznych (LZO) i ich wpływu na środowisko.
