MCON Steel RC

Description

MCON STEEL RCP is a rust treatment which stabilises and converts adamantly adhering rust in to a organo - complex compound, resulting in the formation of a nonporous and moisture - repelling coating of good mechanical stability, abrasion resistance, bond strength and excellent anti-corrosive properties. MCON STEEL RCP converts adherent rust into a hard complex that attains a passive state without losing the strength of metal.

Areas of Application

• Passivation of exposed steel in repairs to structural members.
• Coating of reinforcement bars in new R.C.C. structures.
• Steel-pipeline, structures, bridges, arches, etc. especially in marine environment.
• H. T. wires / cables / strands etc. in prestressing job.




Advantages

1. Performs rust removal and rust prevention in one operation in mild conditions.
2. Improves bond strength of steel with Concrete
3. Treatment can be carried out at site. Coated bars do not suffer bond loss when embedded in
4. Concrete unlike epoxy coated bars which are known to suffer substantial bond loss.
5. Self-curing

Direction for use

Surface Preparation: Good surface preparation will help MCON STEEL RCP work more effectively. This step isn't always necessary, but the quality of the preparation leads to a high quality end result. Remove excess rust with a stiff, bristled brush. The object of this step is to get any loose or flaking rust off rather than trying to seal it in. Clean and degrease the surface and let it dry. This step ensures that other surface contaminants will not interfere with the reaction of the Product on the rusted surface.




Product Application: Apply STEEL RCP with a brush or a roller. Larger surfaces are much easier to roll and brushes work well on smaller surfaces. It is recommended that any loose excess rust be removed with a wire brush and the rusty steel surface washed with high pressure water to remove excess salt contamination. MCON STEEL RCP will dry in 20 minutes however it takes 24 hours to cure. Application of a second coating will ensure proper rust conversion.

Safety precautions

MCON STEEL RCP is non-toxic, chemical is corrosive. Do not take internally. Wear a face mask and rubber gloves when handling this chemical. In case of accidental contact with skin or clothing was immediately with large quantities of water. For eyes, flush freely with water and obtain medical attention at once. In case of spillage, flush with plenty of water.
