A REVOLUTION IN CORROSION PREVENTION
From Decay to Durability: Coatings that Redefine Corrosion Prevention
MEET METGUARD
A CONCEPTUAL ADVANCE IN METAL PROTECTION
Metguard is a unique metal passivating protective coating, arresting corrosion of metals at its core. Challenging conventional norms, Metguard offers a cost effective, greener & technologically advanced solution to corrosion prevention.
- FIRST TIME IN THE WORLD
- PATENTED
- COPYRIGHTED
UNIQUE METAL PASSIVATION TECHNOLOGY
Metguard works on the principle of metal passivation. Unlike conventional protective coatings such as expoxies, alkyds, polyurethanes (PU), etc that offer mere barrier protection, Metguard possesses the remarkable capability to passivate active metals, suppressing their reactivity with the environment to arrest corrosion at its core.
NEW HORIZONS
EXPONENTIALLY INCREASES METAL LIFE
Metguard exponentially increases metal life by virtually eliminating active metal loss through in situ passivation at the coating-metal interface, reducing metal scrappage and replacement.
ELIMINATES ABRASIVE BLASTING
Metguard can be applied directly on rusted surfaces as well as new structures (including mill scale covered HRS) without any complex surface preparation—only loose rust needs removal.
EASES MAINTENANCE, REDUCES DOWNTIME
Metguard reduces plant downtime and lifecycle costs through its easy maintenance- simply reapply the top coat at specified intervals without stripping the existing coating.

ENHANCES LIFE OF METALLIZED STEEL
Metguard duplex coatings, on HDG, other metallized steel, & aluminium alloys, arrest depletion of reactive metal, thereby extending galvanic protection of steel.
THIN-FILM PROTECTION
Metguard provides superior protection to all metals in lower DFT than barrier coatings.
ECO-FRIENDLY TECHNOLOGY
Free from chromates, isocyanates, halogens, and lead, Metguard is an environmentally friendly solution for sustainable corrosion protection.

WHERE THERE IS METAL, THERE IS METGUARD
CAN BE APPLIED ON:
All new steel structures in stockyards and fabrication centers (including tubular structures like pipes)
All existing corroded steel structures
Galvanized/ Zinc-aluminium Sheets & Structures (New & existing corroded)
Stainless & other ferrous alloy structures (New & existing corroded)
Concrete embedded steel structures: re-bars, etc
IN VARIOUS INDUSTRIES SUCH AS:
...AND MANY MORE
LOWEST LIFECYCLE COST
SAVE BY ALMOST 100%
- Lower operational cost as no blast cleaning required.
- Lower maintenance cost as only top coat is to be re-applied. Thus, lesser paint requirement & lower labour cost in future.
- Significant long-term savings in cost as negligible metal scrappage.
- Enhanced workplace safety.
- No disruptions in production.
SIMPLE & EASY APPLICATION
Clean the metal surface
No blasting is required here. Nominal surface preparation, including wire/ brush cleaning will suffice.
Follow mixing instructions
Open the Metguard cans and follow the simple mixing instructions provided.
Apply on metal surface
Apply Metguard coatings directly on the metal surface, even if it is already rusted. Application can be done by brush/spray/roller/ airless/pneumatic gun.
Stop Corrosion
Wait for proper drying and stop the corrosion of metals completely.
