Metaltech has outstanding rust inhibiting features. its
extensive use and ouside exposure over 5 years corrosion study on
steel structures and bridges, has proven to be superior in
inhibiting rust.
Metaltech undergoes hydrolysis when solubilised, forming
hydroxyl ions capable of neutralising acids. Acids may
migrate into the paint film, or they may be formed there as a
result of binder degradation. In addition the Metaltech
borate ion affords anodic protection by reacting with the metal
surface to form a protective film.
Finally, metaltech barium ions are capable of reacting with
sulphate ions to form insoluble barium sulphate. sulphate
ions promote corrosion, and by metaltech's unique reaction it
prevents further corrosion, providing years of protection even
under adverse conditions.
As a result of both accelerated lab tests and 5 years outside
exposure, Metaltech is now being specified for corrosion protection
on all types of steel work, bridges, roofs, and automotive industry
etc.
