Rust Seal Oil - how does it work

1. Eliminates Oxygen - it soaks deeply into the rust layer and displaces the Oxygen - rust cannot continue without Oxygen

2. Eliminates water - it soaks deeply into the rust layer and displaces the Water - rust cannot continue without Water

3. Seals - Owatrol Seal Oil actually forms a smooth, hard sealed surface, ready for Priming

4. Remains flexible - Owatrol Seal Oil remains flexible, so will not crack, preventing water from re-entering the metal

Rust Treatment - example - commercial building rust

Travel Lodge - Maidstone - new build

Travel lodge Maidstone in scaffold - rusty steel on new build

The problem - a newly constructed Hotel already suffering from extensive rusting of external decorative steel ring features.

Scaffolding cost over £50,000 - hence the need for a rust treatment that works long term.

Close up of rusting steel - decorative bands on Travel Lodge

Closer to the rust problem - the virtually new grey paint is already missing from the edges and joints, probably due to poor preparation.

 

Rusty steel ready for wire brushing - no need to grit blast

Real Rust - the rusting has pushed off the paint layers.

Rusting stel along joints

The challenge - to cure the rust without having to either remove all the steel or

curtain off the whole building and grit blast the steel.
