"Primer for Metals"
Time-Tested Performance
Corrosion is a fact of life on heavy equipment
and machinery. The key to preventing corrosion is to use an industrial
primer on the metal to prevent exposure of the metal surface to
oxidation. Oxidation occurs when metal is exposed to oxygen in
the air to react chemically forming rust, etc.
Heavy equipment including salt trucks, loaders,
graders, mining trucks, and other equipment are subject to high
corrosion. 429 S.T.U.F. is a primer that effectively combats this
oxidation process by truly sealing the metal surface. Unlike other
primers and coatings, 429 S.T.U.F. creates a true seal on the
metal surface which is abrasion resistant, flexible, and durable.
SEAL-IT is currently working with Dept. of Highways
in Saskatchewan, Canada, where corrosion is very high. Salt spread
on the roads in the colder months dramatically reduces the life
of the trucks, which may require re-painting as often as every
5 years. After a period of time the equipment is so deteriorated
that it is replaced - an expensive alternative to a high quality
coating like 429 S.T.U.F. and the SEAL-IT service.
The use of 429 S.T.U.F. has prolonged the life
of the paint and equipment and has saved them money in recoating
& repair costs.
The reason why 429 S.T.U.F. is used on their
equipment is because of what it does to the metal. 429 S.T.U.F.,
when applied, penetrates into the pores of the metal takes the
moisture from the air and expands into the pores of the metal.
When the product is cured, which takes about 24 hours, salts,
acids, water, and any other substance cannot penetrate to the
metal where serious damage occurs if not protected properly.
429 S.T.U.F. has been used by Saskatchewan Highways
and Transportation (see testimonial) for 8 years and they use
no other primer. 429 S.T.U.F. is applied to a sandblasted surface
along with two coats of industrial urethane paint.
