MCON Steel RC

MCON STEEL RC 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 RC 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

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

Typical Properties

Direction for use
Surface Preparation: Good surface preparation will help MCON STEEL RC 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 RC 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 RC will dry in 20 minutes however it takes 24 hours to cure. Application of a second coating will ensure proper rust conversion.
