We developed particles that enter into a chemical bond with steel, making the steel immune to corrosive influences such as heat, moisture, salt and/or oxygen for 5 to 25 years.
About
A corrosion passivator interrupts the connection between metal and corrosion. By forming electron pairs, particles enter into a chemical bond with the host metal behind the corrosion. This bond makes the metal immune to corrosion influences such as heat, moisture, salt and oxygen. Corrosion passivation is possible without the need for blasting or sanding. A dry surface is not required. Depending on conditions, the metal remains protected from corrosion for 5 to more than 25 years. This technology is incorporated in fluids, primers, epoxies and other types of coatings and is slowly entering the market for inland- and ocean-going vessels since 2010.
