Por-15 Stops Rust

RestoMotive

Laboratories offers a unique I line of products* which are designed to work as a complete rust preventative and sur- face protection system. The Por-15 prod- uct line, proven in many industries and starting to make in-roads in the maritime realm, is designed to not only stop rust, but to prevent its return.

While the entire line from RestoMotive

Laboratories encompasses an entire fami- ly of related products, the core of its rust- fix and preventative technology lies in four products. The four step process starts with a surface degreaser and cleaner dubbed Marine Clean. Step two is designed to neutralize rust and etch metal using a product called Metal-Ready, which prepares the surface for better coat- ing adhesion and coats the metal with zinc phosphate to facilitate deep chemical bonding with Por-15. Step three is the application of Por-15 rust preventative, a moisture resistant coating designed to form a tough, ceramic-like finish. The final step is a semi-gloss topcoat to pro- tect the underlying Por-15 from light.
