RESIKON - RSK- (Rust remover) |
||
---|---|---|
Description | RESIKON- RSK is highly effective polymer based rust converter. It reacts with iron and rusted surfaces to form chemical complex termed as “chelate complex”.
The reaction is known as “chelation” where ferric-tannic complexes are formed.
This reaction stabilizes oxidation process while polymer in RESIKON RSK gives
additional physical protection to metal surfaces. |
|
Usage | Rust Converter-
Converts rust to chemically stable chelate compound and polymer in it provide excellent protective film. |

Surface preparation | Rusting of iron is a continuous and slow chemical process. Protection of surface from further rusting requires special treatment. If surface preparation has not been
done properly, even the highest quality of corrosion resistant coating will give poor
performance. Surface preparation is normally done in the following manner: |
|
Mechanical methods of surface preparation | Mechanical methods of removing of scale or rust are by use of tools like wire
brush, chisel, sand blasting etc. In some special cases, the surface is also
subjected to burning using flame. Surfaces obtained by using mechanical
treatment possess high reactivity due to the presence of humidity unless the
surface is protected immediately by using good protective coatings. |
|
Chemical methods of surface preparation | Chemically treated surfaces, for example by using AMCOR-RR, produce films of
insoluble metal compounds, generally oxides and phosphates. Since RESIKON
RSK is rust converter, chemical treatment is not necessary. Mechanical methods
of surface preparation are sufficient. |
|
Safety Precaution | Health hazard: RESIKON - RSK is acidic & harmful if swallowed. Avoid contact
with skin as it may cause irritation and staining. Use protective clothing, hand
gloves, goggles etc. while handling this material. In case of skin contact or splash
in eyes, wash with copious amount of water and consult a physician. |
|
Storage | One year from the date of manufacture if kept in closed condition away from sunlight. |
