POLYCOAT – RED OXIDE

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)



Properties

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. Drying time POLYCOAT RED-OXIDE is a fast drying coating.



Coverage

About 60 to 80 sq.ft. coverage per litre on a de-rusted metal surface.
