In a world where metals form the backbone of numerous industries, the relentless battle against corrosion has been a longstanding challenge. Recognizing the electro-chemical nature of metals and their inherent susceptibility to corrosion in various environments, Metguard products have introduced a ground-breaking concept amidst the available corrosion control techniques.
This innovation promises to provide the most comprehensive, economical, and eco-friendly solution to this ever-pervasive problem. With intensive research and development spanning decades, these products represent a paradigm shift in the protection of both ferrous and non-ferrous metals and their alloys, offering an unsurpassed combination of properties with significantly thinner film thickness.
The edge of Metguard
Our solution is based on the concept of metal passivation, which involves creating a thin, protective layer on the surface of a metal to prevent corrosion. We achieve this by applying a functional polymeric coating on the metal with minimal to no surface preparation. This coating forms a polymeric layer that prevents further anodic dissolution of the metal, making it anhydrous and non-reactive to humidity and other catalysts of corrosion. Additionally, the base coat is reinforced by a top coat that helps the metal withstand UV rays and other harsh chemicals in the atmosphere.
The METGUARD Advantage
1. Eliminating Limitations: Metguard products eliminate numerous limitations of existing protective coatings. They require nominal surface preparation during both initial application and maintenance, reducing labour, time, environmental hazards, and costs. This means the elimination of blasting, making them a more efficient and eco-friendly solution.
2. Reduced Downtime: The ultra-quick setting system ensures complete protection of existing structures in the shortest possible time. Reduced downtime means minimal disruption and increased productivity.
3. Expanding Protection: Our product widens the ambit of protection for existing assets by decreasing the need for extensive surface preparation on hard-to-access structures. This leads to a substantial reduction in maintenance efforts.
4. Chemical Resistance: Metguard products exhibit exemplary performance in intensely corrosive atmospheres, with resistance to acidic, alkaline, and saline environments. They can withstand constant and changing chemical conditions, including dry heat, humidity, coastal salinity, and the combustion products of solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels.
5. Unparalleled Undercutting Protection: The Metguard technology provides unparalleled undercutting protection on all substrates. This leads to a significant reduction in metal loss, resulting in the lowest life cycle costs for protected structures.
6. Extending Life: Our anti-rust paint for metal extends the life of severely corroded or pitted existing structural members and rusted roofing or cladding sheets. This not only enhances property safety but also ensures the uninterrupted operation of essential facilities.
7. Environmentally Friendly: Metguard is a superior alternative to zinc-rich coatings when protecting new steel exposed to industrial pollutants. It offers a direct-to-metal application without the need for blasting, and it is free of chromate, lead, halogen, and isocyanate components, making it an eco-friendly choice.
In conclusion, the Metguard technology represents a significant leap forward among the corrosion-prevention techniques. Its innovative approach is reshaping the landscape of protective coatings by addressing the limitations of traditional solutions, reducing environmental impact, and ensuring the long-term integrity of vital structures. With Metguard, the future of corrosion protection looks brighter, more cost-efficient, and environmentally responsible.
