ITW ROCOL METAL ENRICHED PAINTS

The differences between standard paints and ROCOL Metal Enriched Paints are significant. Standard paints create a passive barrier, which when breached will offer no protection against corrosion. Rust will begin to form underneath the paint, quickly removing it from the surface. What is Triple Protection? OPTIMUM CATHODIC DEFENCE In order to protect steel from rust, Zinc can be engineered to sacrifice itself; oxidising in place of the steel which it is protecting. Galvanisation performance is determined by the purity of the Zinc and its concentration in the formula. ROCOL uses high purity Zinc...

for long term metal protection ROCOL Metal Enriched Paints have a Triple Protection formula, which has been developed by ROCOL scientists to exploit the chemical properties of Zinc and an advanced resin system to shield steel from corrosion.

Metal enriched paints with industry leading performance Available in a variety of finishes, the range offers a highly flexible method of galvanisation, which is suited to in-situ application and can be applied to both new and old metal components for long term protection against corrosion. Drying Times Salt Spray Test ASTM B117 ROCOL COLD GALVANISING SPRAY Full Cure ROCOL GALVA BRIGHT, MATT & FLASH Full Cure The level of corrosion protection offered by galvanisation sprays differs greatly between brands. Testing shows that ROCOL metal enriched paints have industry leading standards. ROCOL COLD...

THE IMPACTS OF CORROSION The most obvious effect of rust is visual; it causes a layer of red & flaking material to form on the surface of the metal. This impairs the appearance of the material, so if it has a decorative purpose, it is important to protect it. If a metal rusts, it becomes weakened, so corrosion must be prevented in an object that is required to be strong (either to function properly or for safety purposes). The seizure of metal components is accelerated by corrosion. Metals easily slide over each other, however rust increases friction and slows or prevents this motion. This friction...

ROCOL Metal Enriched Paints are single component zinc coatings for the protection of steel in heavy industrial and marine environments. All ROCOL metal enriched paints have a non-toxic formulation, are suitable for use as a primer and can be over painted. The high performance valve will not block when used properly, minimising product waste. COLD GALVANISING SPRAY Ultimate long term corrosion protection for metal components requiring a permanent zinc-rich coating • • • • GALVA MATT Greater than 95% high purity zinc in the dry film Zero corrosion following 3500 hours salt spray Temperature range...
