Corrosion, including rust, is a worldwide problem that is receiving increasing attention. As infrastructure ages, the risk increases, threatening lives and property. Often problems can be ignored until it is too late. Corrosion has two aspects – prevention and repair. An important factor is that corrosion is irreversible. Corrosion always weakens structures. One of the most important factors in preventing corrosion is the use of protective oil. Protective oil forms a thin film on metal surfaces, making your equipment much more resistant to rust and corrosion.

Corrosion is the deterioration of surfaces and structures caused by the reaction of various elements and conditions. Corfin We 501 Protective Oil creates a protective barrier that blocks these harmful environments so that corrosion does not have the opportunity to begin. The protective oil protects your equipment from the following external factors: Water, Rain, Humidity Seawater, Salt Air Chemicals, Acids, Gases, Abrasion and Erosion, High Velocity Flow Stress, Pressure, Microorganisms, Aging, Electrolysis, Electrical Instability. Rust is the most common result of corrosion, it refers to the corrosion of iron and its alloys such as steel. Over time, the presence of oxygen and water will completely dissolve hard iron structures. As the metal surface begins to peel and rust, new metal is exposed; the cycle repeats, leaving layers of nothing but flakes. The only solution is to block these elements before corrosion occurs by coating with Corfin We 501 Protective Oil.

Paints and varnishes are often used to coat surfaces, but they have limited protective capabilities and will deteriorate over time without regular maintenance.
These thin films age poorly and can easily crack and flake, leaving exposed surfaces. Corfin We 501 Protective Oil pure and hybrid polyureas and polyurethanes are designed to withstand abrasion, high impact, extreme temperatures, chemicals, water and many other environments for a wide range of applications. These polymers resist compression and flex without cracking, even when the underlying structure changes or vibrates. The impermeable nature of these materials creates a seamless, leak-proof barrier.

There are many different ways to remove rust. Some sources say that rust can be stopped by depriving it of oxygen and moisture. Others say it is almost impossible. Opponents point to the following problems: Rust takes up more volume than the original metal and causes expansion, especially in the surrounding concrete. This has been known to force the adjacent joints apart from each other. The result is cracks that allow faster deterioration and damage. Most techniques used to repair or prevent rust often fail at joints, holes and seams where there are gaps in the material. They provide protection for a limited period of time. If surfaces are not completely sealed or are damaged, elements such as oxygen and moisture will enter. One point of consensus is that masking does not work for repairs. Simply coating rust may improve appearance and slow deterioration, but anything that feeds rust will continue to corrode, often unnoticed. At the very least, loose rust must be removed. There are many ways to do this with blasting/grinding, acids, electrolysis, rust converters and other rust reduction techniques. Next, surface preparation is very important. If a coating will not adhere, porosity will be a problem. The metal must be clean and free of grease. It may also be necessary to use a primer or roughen the surface. Thoroughly coating the metal with polymer is the best way to create a seamless barrier. This prevents oxygen and moisture from penetrating.
