Steel Asset Protection & Corrosion Prevention

The Problem: Corrosion & Rust Damage in Steel Structures

Steel structures are constantly exposed to moisture, chemicals, and environmental elements, leading to corrosion, rust formation, and weakened structural integrity. Without proper protection, steel assets deteriorate, increasing maintenance costs and the risk of failure.

The Solution: Surtreat’s Advanced Steel Protection System

Surtreat provides a two-step rust control and corrosion prevention system to ensure long-term durability:

Step 1: Rust Conversion

  • Rust Converter: Chemically neutralizes rust and forms a protective barrier, reducing surface preparation needs.

Step 2: Corrosion Prevention (VCI System)

  • VCI Primer: Forms a corrosion-resistant barrier on the steel surface, preventing further rust formation.
  • Polyurethane Top Coat: Provides superior protection against UV rays, chemicals, and environmental exposure.

Application Process: How to Protect & Maintain Steel Assets

Step 1: Surface Preparation
- Remove loose rust, dirt, and contaminants using abrasive cleaning methods.
- Ensure surface is free of oils and grease before treatment.

Step 2: Apply Rust Converter
- Apply Rust Converter to corroded areas, chemically stabilizing existing rust.
- Prepares the surface for further protective coatings.

Step 3: Apply VCI Primer
- Once Rust Converter has dried, apply VCI Primer to form a long-lasting protective layer.
- Penetrates steel surfaces to provide deep corrosion resistance.

Step 4: Apply Polyurethane Top Coat
- Finish with Polyurethane Top Coat for enhanced environmental protection.
- Provides resistance against UV exposure, chemicals, and extreme weather conditions.

Results: Why Surtreat’s Steel Protection System Works

Extended Asset Lifespan – Stops corrosion and protects steel from long-term deterioration.
Enhanced Structural Durability – VCI Primer prevents rust formation, preserving steel integrity.
Superior Environmental Protection – Polyurethane Top Coat shields against moisture, UV rays, and chemicals.
Reduced Maintenance Costs – Minimizes future repairs by preventing corrosion at its source.
