GENERAL
This is a synthetic single component elastomeric polymer liquid to be applied on metal surfaces for protection from corrosion.
USES
- In chemical plants and for machinery.
- Large M.S. structures, tanks, pipelines, etc.
- Protection of bridges, jetties, sewage plants and other installations which are permanently or intermittently under water. (Metallic components)
SALIENT FEATURES
It gives best protection from:
- Corrosion due to atmospheric conditions and various chemicals. Metallic surfaces that have been properly derusted and coated with POLYCOAT RED-OXIDE remain rust-free for a long time as against a mere year’s protection provided by other contemporary alkyd / CNSL based red oxide primers.
- Salt penetration in marine environments.
- Susceptibility to catch fire.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The surfaces should be freed from flaking paint, scales, rust, loose particles, dirt and grease. Rub down to a smooth condition. Wash and allow to dry completely.
- Apply RUSTICIDE rust removing and preventing solution by cotton swab to remove the residual rust and prevent further corrosion.
- Open the drum of POLYCOAT RED-OXIDE and stir the contents well for 15 minutes till it attains even consistency. This product is supplied in ‘Ready-mix’ form. However in case of thickening of the product a suitable thinner may be added upto a maximum of 5%.
- Apply POLYCOAT RED-OXIDE by brush or spray in two or three coats as required, with a minimum interval of 24 hours between successive coats.
- POLYCOAT RED-OXIDE is a fast drying coating.
COVERAGE
About 60 to 80 sq.ft. coverage per litre on a de-rusted metal surface.
PACKING
4, 20 ltr HDPE / MS Containers.
