DESCRIPTION |
PICTURE |
| FIG. ONE | Steel samples prior to their treatment with the rust converters - RostFort Standard and RostFort XT. Notice the extent to which the corrosion and rust has damaged the samples |
|
| FIG. TWO | One of the steel samples after being treated with RostPrep. The RostPrep is used to degrease and clean the surface to ensure that it is free from oil and grease |
|
| FIG. THREE | Several of the samples after treatment with the rust converters - RostFort Standard and RostFort XT. Notice how the RostFort Standard and the RostFort XT have reacted with the steel and have formed a dark protective coating. This will now protect the steel offering rust prevention and corrosion control |
|
| FIG. FOUR | Condition of the RostPrep (degreaser) sample after 250 hours of salt fog exposure. Notice how the RostPrep offered a large degree of protection against the salt fog. After 250 hours there were some rust stains on the surface |
|
| FIG. FIVE | Conditions of the samples after 250 hours salt fog exposure, treated initially with RostPrep (degreaser) and then with RostFort Standard (left) and RostFort XT (right). After 250 hours exposure, The RostFort Standard sample began showing signs of rust creep and corrosion damage while the RostFort XT appeared unaffected. For this reason, we suggest using RostFort XT for coastal environments, acidic and alkaline environments and in applications where the elements will play a role in rust and corrosion damage |
 |
| FIG. SIX | Condition of the samples treated with RostFort Standard (left) and RostFort XT (right) after 250 hours of salt fog exposure. No RostPrep was applied to these samples prior to the salt fog exposure. This demonstrated the importance of correct surface preparation by removing loose rust, oily marks and greasy deposits |
