Even if its appearance may seem decorative, rust is nonetheless a scourge that destroys everything it attacks if it is not mastered quickly. It does its work of undermining, slowly but surely and without action the support can even disappear.
Professionals, manufacturers and individuals are all concerned. It suffices to act to prevent or correct once the attack has been observed and above all never let rust set in! Metal structures, furniture and objects made of ferrous metal and even the framework of a wooden or concrete structure with nails, are the targets of rust. In the event of an attack, they risk deteriorating quickly or seeing unsightly drips alter the support. We must act in prevention and protection.
Why does rust surely appear on unprotected ferrous metal?
Rust is an oxidation reaction that appears on ferrous metal when it comes into contact with air or moisture: iron oxidizes and becomes rust. The process speeds up in the presence of water or humidity. Once rust has started, it does not stop spreading. To stop the phenomenon, it must be eliminated and the entire structure concerned must be protected. Upstream, it is possible to prevent its occurrence by protecting the metal parts of the support.
Act - prevent, protect or renovate ferrous metal structures: What options with what action?
Destroy, transform, neutralize, explanations for each action:
- Rust destroyers destroy rust by exposing the metal to completely rid it of the rust formed. It is then necessary to apply a protection on the work so that the metal is not attacked again.
Namely: the step of cleaning the particles of the destroyer, before the application of a protection, in fact brings in humidity thus risking to resume the cycle of rust formation.
- Rust transformers convert iron oxide into another more stable iron oxide which will resist oxidation better. However, this transformation does not guarantee the exclusion of a new transplanting because rust spots still remain in the support and may allow the rust to restart. In addition, the film left by the transformer can easily peel off, requiring a new application.
- Neutralize : the principle consists in stopping the rust inside the support by impregnating it to block the process and stabilize the whole. In this case, the work is protected over time against any repossession.
At Durieu, the legendary RUSTOL rust inhibitor works as a neutralizer: it permeates the support, diffuses and neutralizes all rust particles.
Once upon a time there was the Rustol ...
RUSTOL was born in France in 1956 from a collaboration between Durieu and an American company. Originally, RUSTOL was formulated for the automobile and in particular for garages, where it finally provides the solution to protect the sills and all the delicate parts of automobiles and cycles. He then entered industry (building, marine, automobile, etc.) and DIY stores.
Today, always at the forefront of technology and the result of unparalleled expertise, RUSTOL displays the essential qualities expected from a rust preventative: long-lasting protection, an all-in-one product that stabilizes and use within reach. of all…
RUSTOL the secret: no chemical action, based on natural vegetable oils and without any toxic pigment, its weapon lies in its power of impregnation. Neither destroyer nor transformer, it works from the inside to neutralize rust wherever it is found and prevent it from returning.
Rustol in 3 words: impregnate, neutralize, last
- TO IMPREGNATE, TO PERMEATE : thanks to its formidable power of impregnation and self-spreading, RUSTOL infiltrates everywhere in the support and tracks out rust particles.
- NEUTRALIZE: as soon as it is in the presence of rust particles, RUSTOL coats them and becomes one with them to form an ultra-flexible and insulating protective film while drying. Rust is neutralized and stopped from the inside. The backing becomes impermeable to air and moisture.
- LAST: the protection is total and durable: once in the support, RUSTOL continues to spread after application thanks to its impregnation power and remains active until all the rust particles are encapsulated.
Note: on wooden structures containing oxidizable nails, a pass of RUSTOL is sufficient to prevent rust attack on the nails.
Clever: added to paints, RUSTOL makes them rustproof, gives them better adhesion while also helping to delay setting time.
And to decorate: the Rustol-Déco
Based on RUSTOL, RUSTOL-DECO benefits from its exceptional impregnation qualities and is applied directly to rust or to any oxidized surface (once the latter has been cleaned and free of all unstable rust residues). Likewise, it protects new supports to prevent rust by guaranteeing maximum adhesion and foolproof protection against corrosion.
As with the RUSTOL which neutralizes all the rust particles from the inside, the RUSTOL-DECO impregnates the support to the core to isolate the rust particles from the rest of the support which is thus durably protected against any attack or recovery of rust, at the same time. time that it decorates it with its 10 essential colors.
