The constant change in coating technology and environmental regulations has led to the development of low-solvent to solvent-free organic coatings, such as powder and high-solid coatings. These two technologies are well developed, but are still not the preferred choice when considering anticorrosive coating for marine and offshore applications. This mostly arise from a lack of perspective in their long-term behavior and from the difficulty in their applications. This review’s principal aim is to describe powder and high-solid technologies from their formulation and application to their use in marine and offshore applications while recalling and giving key notions needed when the field of anticorrosive coatings is considered. First, the requirement for coatings to be called anticorrosive will be given alongside with their protection and failure mechanisms. The formulation and application for high-solid and powder coatings will be exposed followed by the description of the type of coating chemistry used in harsh environment. Finally, high-solid and powder coatings behavior in these types of environment will be discussed.
