“ONCE THE PROTECTION IS GONE, CORROSION PROGRESSES AT AN EXPONENTIAL RATE”

WHAT CONDITION ARE YOUR STEEL ELECTRICAL ASSETS IN?

• Understand your Environmental conditions
• Rate your degree of Corrosion and understand the increasing associated costs.

R1 (Non-deteriorated)	R2 (Slightly to moderately deteriorated)
R3 (Deteriorated)	R4 (Severely Deteriorated)
R5 (Totally Deteriorated)

Contact TEN to discuss Environmental and Corrosion Conditions and a coating solution that suits your assets.

Keys To Reducing Associated Corrosion Costs.

• Pro-active protective coatings Plan.
• A well-written Coatings Specification.
• Product Quality.
• Qualified Contractors.

Why do Induron coatings work?

Benefits of Penetrating Sealers

• Tie-down existing old coatings; wick under loose edges and into tight crevices.
• Very low viscosity.
• No curing stresses that pull off old coatings.
• 100% SBV (Solids by Volume)
• Tougher and more moisture and chemical resistant than alkyd primers.

Essential Properties of Coating

• Maximum wetting and penetration into tight corroded spaces.
• High-build; 9-11 mils WFT (Wet Film Thickness) in one coat= 8-10 mils DFT (Dry Film Thickness).
• Easy to apply by mitt or pound brush.
• Maximum barrier properties to resist moisture, airborne chlorides, chemicals, air pollutants, and ultra-violet light.

Candidate Coatings For Structures

• Modified Linseed-Oil Zinc-Dust.
• Modified Linseed-Oil MIO/Zinc-Dust.
• Modified Linseed-Oil MIO/Zinc-Dust and Ceramic Microspheres.
• Aluminium Epoxy Mastics.
• Calcium Sulfonate Alkyds.
• Epoxy Penetrating Sealers.

MIO as Barrier Pigment (Micaceous Iron Oxide)

• Chemically Inert and very resistant to pollution.
• Does not react with high or low ph. (acid and alkaline resistant)
• Labyrinth Effect and Shielding from UV, pollution, and especially moisture.
• Absorbs UV and warms the coating; hence drying.
• Promotes adhesion to substrate and itself.

• Improved mechanical properties.
• Less cracking
• Tougher longer lasting coating all around.
