 Technology Profile

Title:

Tannin-based Rust converter

Value Proposition:

This technology can be used in situations where proper cleaning or blasting is difficult, and a rust-converted surface acts as a good base for subsequent coatings. This rust converter can be used in chemical industries, construction Industries.

Summary Application:

The rust converter developed can be used to convert rust on mild steel into an insoluble iron complex compound.

Advantages:
  • Designed as an instant rust converter product.
  • Post-conversion improves the bond of the subsequent coat.
  • It can be coated using any regular painting brush.
  • It is a water-based system.
  • It has optimal corrosion resistance and is an ideal base for protecting the paint coat.
  • After converting the surface, the coating has improved water-resistant properties
