Engineering's fundamental purpose is to seek the best ways to meet societal demands. Among these, a notable focus lies in reducing waste disposal and material consumption. In this regard, the present study assesses the utilization of red ceramic waste (known as "chamote") in the development of anticorrosive pipe coatings. This waste was reduced in a ball mill to achieve a particle size below 100 mesh (150 micrometers). Its size and composition were respectively determined through laser particle size analysis and X-ray diffraction. Lastly, the influence of incorporating this material on the epoxy system's adhesion was evaluated. The results provided a characterization of the waste and revealed that its addition can significantly enhance the bonding between the coating and the metallic substrate.
