Rust inhibitor

Surfatek rust inhibitors have the function of preventing the formation of rust caused by atmospheric agents, on iron, carbon steel and cast iron. If rust formation is not prevented, serious damages to metal alloys may occur, causing subsequent deterioration and weakening. All this can be avoided by using our rust inhibitors. Surfatek rust inhibitors are used in production processes where, once the process is over, the parts must be protected before being packed and shipped to the final customer. They are also used in contexts in which, once a maintenance or a simple repair has been carried out, it is necessary to give the item a lasting protection. Within the Surfatek range we have different types of rust inhibitors: salt based, soap based, emulsion based, inhibitors leaving an oily film or a protective wax film. The salt or soap-based inhibitors are temporary protectors: this means they are suitable to safeguard from rust for a few days. They are used diluted in water and at temperatures between 45 and 70°C. They can be used both by immersion and by sprayers. After the treatment the parts must be mandatorily dried, otherwise, the presence of not evaporated or subsequently re-condensed water and oxygen on the surface, will still cause oxidation. Emulsifying protective agents are oils that are diluted in water, in order to give longer lasting protection; our R&D department in recent years has developed formulas that can compete in terms of performance with traditional dewatering oils, succeeding, in some cases, to even result better than them in terms of hours of stay in the climatic chamber.
