Termarust Technologies presents:
HRCSA Chemically Active Steel Corrosion Mitigation System. (since 1990)
Corroded in place steel structures move. Traditional coating systems harden too much to move with them.
Traditional hard film form paint systems do not provide the required chemistry to stop active crevice corrosion from rust bleeding over the long term.
No matter the steel structure type (Hydro towers, wire ropes, bridges, storage tanks, cranes and elevators, penstocks, beam end and bearings), all expand and contract (sun, wind, etc.), and flex under load (traffic, snow, rain, etc.). Because they move, traditional hard film form paints at connections crack at the connections. Chemically active HRCSA chemically stops crevice corrosion and seals the connections with elastomeric film.
Paint Don't Work
Where Traditional Paints Don't Work ( At stopping crevice corrosion and pack rust. )
- Low molecular weight 'penetrants' (LMWH) are not designed to not neutralize acids, displace moisture and scavenge oxygen inside steel connections. This because LMWH hardens and microcracks inside the connection opening a gateway for corrosive contaminates to return.
- Such said, traditional hard film formers produce rust bleeding from connections within 24 months of their application.
HRCSA Points of Difference?
- Unlike LMWH, HRCSA's Penetrant stays active inside flushed and salt mitigated open or pack-rusted connections.
- Unlike LMWH, HRCSA Penetrant is designed to actively neutralize acids, displace moisture and scavenge oxygen inside the connection. HRCSA Penetrant remains active and does not cure or harden. Instead, it forms a monomolecular layer of cations on the steel substrate.
- HRCSA Penetrant and HRCSA topcoat are purposely designed to chemically meld to form an elastomeric seal overtop the crevice opening. This seal remains flexible without microcracking.
- Stand alone, HRCSA self priming topcoat serves as a single component, single coat, low surface energy overcoat field proven to provide decades of barrier protection on overcoated and direct to steel applications.
You, Me, We Specifications.
- You Specifications: Prescribed Based Specifications based on generic QPL.
- Me Specifications: Performance based specifications where the contractor is involved in deciding which coating his/her experience would perform the best within the conditions of the application.
- We Specifications: Solution Based Specification where owner, contractor and supplier work together to develop a solution-based specification as pertains to the specific site condition. Considerations could include:
- Field proven, long term structure critical corrosion control.
- Access windows (liquidated damages).
- Budget constraints
