What is the corrosion ?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Corrosion is the loss of metallic properties as a result of wearing metal or metal alloys by oxidation or other chemical influences, which can lead to irreversible damage to the steel building material unless a preventive action is taken.\"\"
\nCorrosion, which starts to occur at the points where the protective coating weakens and \/ or tears on metal surfaces, continues to spread under the coating.<\/p>\n

Corrosion results in a mass loss of the metal material, which causes the metal material to lose its strength.<\/p>\n

WHAT ARE THE FACTORS ACCELERATING CORROSION?<\/h4>\n

The corrosion of a metal is directly related to its structure and environmental conditions.<\/p>\n

In general, the following factors accelerate the corrosion process;
\n\u2022 Ambient effect (areas with ionic effect such as sea, lake etc.)
\n\u2022 Pressure of metal structure
\n\u2022 Increase in temperature
\n\u2022 Galvanic interactions
\n\u2022 The amount of dissolved oxygen in the electrolyte
\n\u2022 Number and type of carrier (ions)
\n\u2022 Residual current exposure
\n\u2022 Conductivity and pH of electrolyte
\n\u2022 Exposure to microorganism activities
\n\u2022 Wrong protective material selection<\/p>\n

HOW CAN CORROSION BE PREVENTED?<\/h4>\n

There are 3 generally known methods of protection for corrosion protection coatings;
\n1.Barrier Protection<\/strong>; It blocks moisture, oxygen and other chemicals from the surface. The barrier coatings have a relatively low moisture permeability. THIS IS NOT ENOUGH.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Inhibitors;<\/strong> It contains special pigments that interfere with and inhibit corrosive reactions on the surface. As moisture passes through the coating film, the anti-corrosive pigments slowly dissolve to help stop corrosion.<\/p>\n

3. Cathodic Protection<\/strong>; It is the most suitable and common method used to prevent metal corrosion. In this method, the entire metal or anodic regions on the metal surface are converted into cathodes to prevent corrosion. In this method, zinc or aluminum-rich coatings are used.<\/p>\n

Corrosion is the main cause of unexpected destruction of metallic structures and can cause serious costs.<\/p>\n

AROMATIC ……… Robust, Wear Resistant, Chemical Resistant, Elastic
\nALIFATIC ………… UV Resistant, Non-Yellowing and Chalkless<\/p>\n

Unique Fomulation …<\/h4>\n

The overlapping aluminum flakes in the formulation provide superior strength, durability and adhesion strength than aluminum powders. This makes the product more successful than other aluminum containing product groups.<\/p>\n

An Eco-Friendly Product …<\/h4>\n

Rust Bullet has a solids content of 70% (+\/- 2%). The high solids content means the low solvent content that evaporates during drying. In other words, when applied to the surface, more than 70% remains on the surface. This makes it an environmentally friendly and safe product when evaluated in terms of combustion and health risk. Flame spread index zero (0) & Smoke spread index five (5)<\/p>\n

RUST BULLET does not contain lead, zinc, chromate and heavy metals.<\/p>\n

RUST BULLET meets drinking water EPA standards.<\/p>\n

How does it protect surfaces?<\/h4>\n

Permanently stops rust and corrosion. Instead of forming a film on the applied rusted area, it enters the pores on the surface and allows the affected rusted areas to dry. This method dehydrates the affected areas. It then forms a solid coating barrier to prevent future rust and corrosion. It becomes an integral part of the surface and protects the surface. UV-resistant, no overcoating is required. Metallic gray.

Accelerated Air Conditioning Tests<\/h4>\n

RUST BULLET has been scientifically tested with accelerated corrosion tests in 6 main articles on rust \/ corrosion control.
\n\u2022 High temperature,<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Moisture,<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Salt Ratio,<\/strong>
\n\u2022 UV Effect,<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Scratching<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Degradation due to atmospheric conditions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leading products on the market were used for comparison. The potential performance of the coating and \/ or system against scratch-friction etc. on each test panel was tested on the basis of ASTM standards.<\/p>\n

X-shaped scratches were made on the test panels and rust formation and propagation in these areas were observed.<\/p>\n

Accelerated Air Conditioning Tests\"\"\"\"and Differences Between Other Corrosion Paints;<\/h4>\n

Accelerated corrosion testing has also shown that there are significant differences in corrosion protection between RUST BULLET and Normal Dyes (such as epoxy, polyurethane, etc.);
\n\u2022 Surface preparation and cleaning is minimal for RUST BULLET application. With simple hand tools, it is sufficient to remove the paint layer and free corrosion, if any. Corrosion does not need to be cleaned. No sandblasting required.
\nLow Cost ….. Easy Application ….<\/strong>
\nHowever, in normal paint applications, the old paint layers and the corrosion layer, if any, must be removed by sandblasting and a certain SA degree must be achieved.\"\"High Cost ….. Difficult Application ….<\/strong><\/p>\n

Differences Between Other Corrosion Paints of RUST BULLET Application;<\/h4>\n

\u2022 RUST BULLET does not require primer. It is applied directly to surfaces.

Differences Between Other Corrosion Paints of RUST BULLET Application;<\/h4>\n

RUST BULLET protects steel surfaces against rust spread by both inhibiting and electrochemical reaction. It also provides barrier protection.\"\"
