ALUMINIUM INDUSTRY
Corrosion in Aluminium Industry
Bauxite ores used to obtain alumina prior to aluminium production, contain fluorides. These cause emission of hydrofluoric acid vapour which can severely affect steel infrastructure. Additionally massive power requirements of such plants require captive thermal power generation units. Here too the sulphurous and carbonaceous fumes released from fossil fuels exacerbate corrosion.
THE METGUARD ADVANTAGE
NO ABRASIVE BLASTING NEEDED
Say goodbye to sand/shot/grit blasting—Metguard provides unmatched corrosion protection without any complex surface preparation.
CAN BE APPLIED DIRECTLY ON RUSTED SURFACE
Metguard can be applied directly on rusted surfaces without the need for extensive surface preparation. Only the removal of loose rust will suffice, making it a highly efficient and cost-effective solution for corrosion protection.
NO ELABORATE MAINTENANCE
Easy recoatability requiring minimum surface preparation, only recoating the top coat at specified intervals will suffice. No need to remove existing coating like in other coatings.
No Metal Loss
No loss in thickness of
structural steel as it
prevents underfilm
corrosion, ultimately preventing metal scrappage.
Major Cost Savings
Minimal surface
preparation and longer
metal lifespans lead to
extremely low lifecycle
costs.
