BMG’s extensive range of sealing products includes Rust-Anode® - a cold galvanisation system, designed for rust prevention in diverse industries, particularly corrosive environments. “Rust-Anode - a single component cold zinc rich coating that protects steel surfaces electrochemically – is vastly different from anti-corrosion paints, in terms of composition of the material and its protection methods,” says Marc Gravett, business unit manager seals, BMG. “Unlike conventional anti rust paints, which eventually decompose and crack, Rust-Anode prevents rust formation and inhibits the spreading of pre-existing rust. “Rust-Anode is preferred to the hot-dip galvanisation process for steel constructions in light profiles or thin plates because the hotdip bath can deform light structures.” Rust-Anode and Rust-Anode Primer, with high resistance to corrosion, abrasion and impact, can be used as a primer or as a duplex system with a compatible topcoat.

 

This zinc grey material, with a matt finish, is applied directly onto a clean or rusted steel surface, with a brush, roller, or any spraying technique. A layer of iron hydroxide is formed between the Rust-Anode and the steel surface, acting as an oxidation inhibitor, to prevent rust formation
