TECHNICAL GUIDE 9 - PROTECTING STEEL (REINFORCING BARS)
CLEANING RUST
Remove loose rust from the reinforcement steel with the aid of wire brushes or mechanical means like sand blasting etc. Sand blasting & cleaning will remove the oxide layers reducing the steel sections. However micro-crevices on the steel surface still remain uncleaned. This can be done using RUSTICIDE, which helps in removing even the finest remaining rust.
CHEMICAL CLEANING
Apply RUSTICIDE solution to all the exposed steel. This will remove any residual rust and also render the surface of the steel passive and prevent fresh corrosion. Allow the RUSTICIDE application for 24 hours and then brush off any loose particles by using a dry paintbrush.
