To protect reinforcement steel
from corrosion clean the rusted reinforcement with wire brush; apply rust
removing solution Rusticide to all exposed steel. This will remove any residual
rust. Allow the Rusticide application for 24 hours and then brush off the loose
particles by using a dry paint brush.
Apply a rust preventive coat of
Polyalk Fixoprime cement slurry in the proportion of 1:2.5 to 1.5 (by weight)
to the chemically derusted steel with soft paint brush.
What is the treatment to be
given to structural steel for corrosion protection?
‘Polycoat Red-Oxide’ To give
long lasting protection to M.S. structures. This coating is far superior to
contemporary alkyd resin – CNSL based synthetic redoxide formulations. 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.
