Anti-Corrosive Products: Find the One You Need

If you use some of these products, it is because you already know how they work and their features. However, that may not be the case; we will explain them to you simply.

This article will help you more than you can imagine, as you probably don't know all the uses of these products, their reason for existence and even the technology they incorporate and why they are so expensive.

THE ANTI-CORROSION FAMILY: FINISHES

In the MTN PRO range there is a family that includes a series of anticorrosive products that can be used as a final finish. Each of these aerosols is intended for a specific type of use, which is easily explained below.

STAINLESS STEEL PAINT: INOX FINISH

This paint is designed to provide the typical stainless steel finish. But in addition to this, this paint offers a corrosion protection that protects the metal base.

If you are not familiar with what the "inox" finish means, here's an easy explanation: it is the typical metallic color of some modern appliances, kitchen utensils such as knives or frying pans, or the typical steel thermos flasks or water bottles.

But in addition to all this, it has excellent resistance to weathering and extreme temperatures of up to 300 ºC. It can be repainted and varnished.

ZINC 99%: MAXIMUM PROTECTION AGAINST RUST

Zinc 99% spray paint is the king of corrosion protection due to the so-called cathodic protection: the high percentage of zinc in the coating it applies absorbs rust to protect the metal in a long-lasting and effective way.

It is intended for extreme oxidation conditions, and because of its high metal content, it can be welded, unlike most corrosion protection products.

Although it may be a finishing product, as it offers a limited matte gray aesthetic, it can be painted as the porosity of its coating makes it an excellent primer.

GALVANIZED ZINC PAINT: GALVANIZED FINISH

Galvanized metal has a very characteristic finish. So much so that a very special product is needed to be able to touch it up in case it suffers any kind of wear and tear.

This product is galvanized zinc paint, which also offers corrosion protection. Its different finishing options adjust to the different visual varieties of galvanized metal that we can find.

Conclusion

As you have seen, corrosion protection products not only protect metal surfaces, but also offer specific finishes that can improve both the aesthetics and functionality of treated objects. From the most extreme rust protection to solutions for outdoor applications or high temperature conditions, each product has its place and purpose.

Choosing the right product not only extends the life of metal surfaces, but also ensures savings on maintenance and possible long-term repairs. Now that you know more about these solutions, you can make informed decisions tailored to your needs.
