Title: Why use a Rust Inhibitor solution?
1Why use a Rust Inhibitor solution?
Cost Effectiveness Compared to any other rust
inhibitor solution available in the market,
RapidHold SuperStrength is double the
concentrate and therefore only half the quantity
is required. The recommended dosage is 1 parts
for 200 which results in a 4000 litre solution
from a 20L can. While light levels of flash rust
can fall within tolerances for some coatings, in
all cases they will degrade adhesion. Applying a
coating over heavy flash rust will cause the
coating to fail, as well as jump-starting further
corrosive reactions. Coating specifications may
indicate an acceptable time window between
blasting and coating application. To
summarise Flash rust is a general corrosion
attack that presents a significant problem for
abrasive blasters. Flash rust is problematic for
dry blasting as well as wet blasting as blasting
damages the passivating layer, which protects the
metal from corrosion. In the case of vapour
abrasive blasting, water is also present on the
surface and in direct contact with the metal
through the ruptured passivation layer. It is
suitable for wet as well as dry abrasive blasting
as well as acid bath rust removal. RapidHold
SuperStrength is extremely economical to use as
it is double the concentrate and requires half
the quantity.
