Paintwork blistered by rust must be scraped down to the hard rust surface. IMPORTANT – high peaks must be adequately covered by Aquasteel.Īlkali, grease, oil, salt and chemicals must be removed with detergent (Aquamarine Aquawash) /water wash and then rinse surface with cold clean water. Salt-water deposits must be removed with high-pressure clean water blasting. Remove loose scale, flaky rust, all old paint and dirt with wire brush etc. The coating gives excellent protection at temperatures between -50 ☌ (-60 ☏) and 50 ☌ (112 ☏) continuous use. Should not be applied to cold metal at or below the dew point or hot metal above 40 ☌ (105 ☏). Additional DataġLitre: One coat applied at a wet thickness of 80-100 microns covers l2m2 producing a dry film thickness of 25 – 40 microns.Īir assisted GFG 60 psi gravity or pressure fed. It contains no harsh phosphoric or hydrofluoric acids, making it safer for employees and for the environment. The special copolymer latex emulsion system dries to form an impermeable barrier to oxygen and moisture.Īquasteel is water based and solvent free. This black, corrosion-resistant layer is formed by utilizing all the surface moisture and oxygen during the reduction reaction. The ferrous surface to be protected is converted on contact to a complex organic iron compound by the unique deoxygenating agent incorporated in the Aquasteel converter. The product may be applied in damp and humid conditions which is useful in ship and coastal applications.Īquasteel is a unique corrosion control system developed by Bayer-Wood Technologies for use on rusted ferrous metal surfaces. The coverage will be reduced accordingly. This will give 12m² coverage per litre.Ī coating comb may be used to check the coating thickness. Wetīlasting of extreme rusted conditions is highly recommended. Remove all loose rust flakes, using a wire brush. Wash down using Aquamarine Aquawash degreaser ensuring the Wash down any surfaces previously exposed to salt
Advantageous where voids, tanks and inaccessible areas would inhibit normal metal blasting processes.
Easy to apply by spray, brush or roller.Converts partially or totally rusted areas to organic metallic steel condition.Passivates and primes steelwork prior to painting.It is a metal treatment and rust converter.
