Rust treatment, converter and passifier for shipping, cars and bridges. Salt water applications really show that our products withstand the most rigorous tests.
Before
The pontoons suffer continuous water contact and so corrosion and rusting can be severe in these circumstances.
Prior to treatment
Pontoon prior to treatment process. The Pontoon will be water pressure blasted and then treated with Aquasteel.
After treatment
Water pressure blasted & “Aquasteel” treated.
Preparation for Salt Water application:
Wash down any surfaces previously exposed to salt water conditions. Wash down using Aquamarine Aquawash degreaser ensuring the removal of oil dirt and grease. Remove all loose rust flakes, using a wire brush, to bare metal where possible. Wet blasting of extreme rusted conditions is highly recommended.
Directions for Use:
Stir before use. Apply the film at a DFT of 25 micron. This will give 12m² coverage per litre. A coating comb may be used to check the coating thickness. For badly corroded surfaces the coverage will be reduced accordingly. May be applied in damp and humid conditions.
Drying/Re-coating Time:
Aqua-Steel will be touch-dry in 2-4 hours dependent on conditions. The product requires 24 hours to complete the full reaction time for full protection. Over- coating (under or over coating) of water based products can be carried out after 8 hours. For solvent-based coatings the full 24 hours should be allowed.

Background
Aquasteel was developed in 1994 and has undergone several years of testing and proved conclusively in environments ranging from oil rigs, bridges, pontoons, ships (military, cargo and ferries), domestic including Vintage cars and other vehicles. It has endless industrial applications.
Aquasteel shows no rust after 500 hours salt spray test in accordance with ASTM B1 17.
