RUST-X is specially designed
for the treatment of rusted steel before the application of a paint system.
It is particularly recommended for the protection of metal structures subjected
to the attack of aggressive atmospheric agents of corrosive chemical environments.
OIL INDUSTRY
RUST-X is recommended for use in refineries, associated chemical
installations, and on storage tanks. Corrosion is due to the acidic atmosphere
of the refinery, to the alkalinity of associated fertilizer plants, and
to salt water atmospheric conditions in coastal areas. RUST-X is
an effective and economical treatment and often the only treatment possible
in refineries where sandblasting is generally forbidden due to safety reasons.
In addition, RUST-X can be used to treat oil field tools. Due to
its unique mono-molecular film it will not interfere with movable parts
operations.
CHEMICAL INDUSTRY
Paint systems applied to surfaces treated with RUST-X will give considerable
improvement in protection of metal structures located in chemically corrosive
environments. RUST-X is also recommended for use on transport tankers
and storage tanks in aggressive industrial atmospheres.
MARITIME INDUSTRY AND SHIP BUILDING
Marine air and salt water environments cause intense corrosion. Use of RUST-X
is particularly recommended in this area. It is an excellent treatment of
rusted steel before painting and can be used for all exposed structural
surfaces, valving, and piping.
GAS INDUSTRY
The presence of acids, alkalis, and humidity causes rapid corrosion of metal
surfaces in gas works. The increasing use of natural gas has caused an increase
in the number of storage tanks, many of which are in coastal areas and are
subjected to the action of the salty atmosphere.
WIRE ROPE INDUSTRY AND USERS
Due to RUST-X's unique ability to deeply penetrate surfaces, it is
possible to treat the corrosion of wire rope and cable to the core. It is
widely known that the corrosion of wire rope is not only costly to the industry
but unsafe to exposed workers. While the exterior of the rope may be well
maintained and lubricated, the interior could be suffering severe corrosion.
RUST-X can solve this problem with the proper application by treating
and complexing the rust at the core.
ELECTRICAL PYLONS
The location and the shape of some structures may make any sandblasting
operation very difficult and dangerous. High voltage towers, radio, radar,
and television antenna towers are only a few good examples of this category
of structures which are often exposed to extreme weather conditions.
STEEL BRIDGES, FARMING EQUIPMENT, CITY
APPLICATIONS
The flow of salt and fresh water under bridges causes condensation on the
back of the deck and is one of the special causes of corrosion in these
works. Excellent performances can be obtained with RUST-X and, in
particular, on bridges exposed to marine air where the presence of high
humidity and the salt causes intense corrosion. Tractors and implements
can see excellent results by using RUST-X on anything made of steel
subject to rust. Cities will normally see uses in towers, storage tanks,
valving, pipes, etc. |
