A range of products designed to effectively deal with
corrosion on
iron and steel surfaces.
- RustGo – is a safer, environmentally friendly, fast and effective way of removing rust from all types of iron and steel surfaces. This technology is pH neutral thus doesn't contaminate the surface with acids which:
- are difficult to remove
- make application of subsequent coatings more difficult and less certain
- promote further rusting of the metal surface unless additional steps are taken to neutralise the acid.
- FerPrimeGrey – is a corrosion inhibiting primer for all steel and iron surfaces – it is grey in colour and can be re-coated by painting or powder coating etc. It contains its own leading edge pre treatment technology to prevent further corrosion creep, and to improve overall coating performance
- FerPrime Black – is a rust converter and iron and steel primer. It can be applied directly to the rust which is then converted to a black, resinous layer that resists further corrosion, protecting the underlying surfaces. It can also be applied directly to a non rusted iron surface, to produce a black adherent resin film which resists corrosion. It can then be overcoated with a wide range of paint types.
What is a coating and what does it need to do ?
A
Coating is a barrier used to separate two highly reactive materials
such as iron and the oxygen in air. This coating must be impermeable
and continuous for it to be effective. The coating should also be
capable of preventing undercoating corrosion creep, which will
rapidly lead to coating failure. If the coating is not capable of
this, then the underlying surface must be chemically pre treated
prior to coating.
FerPrime Black and grey both contain advanced technology to prevent
under coating corrosion and creep. This is coupled with a coating
that is
- extremely adherent
- UV resistant
- scratch and impact resistant
Giving
these products unprecedented performance characteristics.
Which Coating is the right one ?
Steel
remains the principal construction material for cars, appliances, and
industrial machinery. Because of steel's vulnerability to attack by
atmospheric oxidation, some coating is necessary to provide various
degrees of protection.
Typical
coatings range from hot‐dipped and electroplated coatings such as
zinc and aluminium to tough polymers and flame‐sprayed ceramics. In
almost every case to get optimum coating performance the metal has to
be pre treated prior to coating to prevent under coating corrosion
creep. This occurs primarily when the coating integrity is breached
eg through scratches, abrasions, impact damage, weathering of the
coating leading to increased coating permeability to oxygen and
water.
These
products have their own undercoating corrosion creep prevention
system built in, and so the surface does not require any pre
treatment. These products also convert any existing surface corrosion
ie rust, to a chemically inert and corrosion resistant film, which
combines with the product
coating itself to form a thick, impenetrable barrier to further
corrosion.
This
new range of products provides the perfect replacement for the old
zinc‐rich, environmentally unsound corrosion control products.
Environmental and Safety Benefits
These
Products are:
- environmentally friendly and use sustainable, natural materials where possible.
- UV Resistant, chip resistant, scratch resistant & chemical resistant.
- Lead, aluminium, zinc, and chrome free and are free of any other heavy metals
- a one step, multiple coat process.
- water based, safer, environmentally friendly and use sustainable technology. They do not contain solvents so are much safer to use indoors and in confined spaces.
- Free from oxy isocyanates, toxic or aromatic solvents or any other toxic or harmful materials.
And
- No artificial heat source nor additional activator or component are required for curing.
Performance Profile
- These coatings offer outstanding elastomeric and abrasion resistance performance. They withstand scratching and UV light, are highly moisture resistant offering excellent adhesion to steel and other surfaces. Crucially they contain advanced technology to prevent undercoating corrosion creep if the coating is breached in any way. This makes coating damage simple and cheap to repair.
- UV resistant
- scratch and impact resistant
All
of these Products are manufactured in the United Kingdom with the
highest quality raw materials available today maintaining strict
quality control standards. Environmental Awareness is a key issue in
our manufacturing process, and as such, our products contain no lead,
no zinc, no chromates, no heavy metals, no VOC's, are biodegradable
and made from naturally derived, sustainable material sources.
