Anti-corrosion Powder Paint

Introduction

The rusting of metal surfaces reduces the longevity of metal equipment and the damage becomes far greater in humid environments. Larma Rust Converter is a coating applied on rusted surfaces and by creating a new layer, prevents the advancement of rusting while at the same time using the rust of the metal as a member of the structure. In 2 to 4 hours after applying this coating on the surface, alongside protecting the structure from rusting, it prevents the development of corrosion and active nanoparticles in the formulated structure; creating a strong anti-corrosive surface. This type of liquid coating, which is water-based (water solvent for dilution), is designed and presented for the coating and painting of rusted surfaces. After drying, the color of this coating appears burnt brown to black.

Introduction

Paint is mainly composed of finely ground pigments and fillers that are mixed into a resin or binder system. A liquid (water or solvent) is added to the mixture to produce flexibility in the final product for application in different cases. Then various ingredients and additives are incorporated for certain desired properties. This product is based on thermoplastic acrylic resin containing nano-clay, which increases wear resistance.

Introduction

In advanced technological era corrosion is still considered a major problem because it is the main cause of industrial failures and loss of billions of dollars annually for preventive maintenance and restoration of metal substrates. Corrosion resistant paints protect metal components against degradation due to the moisture, salt spray, oxidation or exposure to a variety of industrial chemicals. Anti-corrosion coating allows for added protection of metal surfaces and acts as a barrier to inhibit the contact between chemical compounds or corrosive materials. Addition of nanoparticles as fillers to the polymeric paints not only increases their efficiency in terms of corrosion resistance but also improves their mechanical properties.
