Our Endeavour A Rust Free Environment Steel Guard “nanocoat” Antirust Compound
It is a unique , ready to use , water based rust preventing compound. Based on Nanotechnology , it acts at the molecular level of the steel surface and completely restores it to rust free condition. It also increases the Bonding Strength of the applied material with Cement, Paint , Enamel, Epoxy etc by more than 100% What is Steel Guard “nanocoat” ?
Appearance : Light Yellow & Green Odor : Mild to Light Specific Gravity: 1.30 gm / cm. Viscosity: 1.035 (approx) Film Thickness: 0.2 microns. pH Dispersion: 1.5 to 3.5 pH units Flash Point: Applicable Solid Content: 50% (+- 5%) (weight % usage) Temperature Test: Tested under – 196 C to + 300 C Application: Brushing , Spraying & Dipping Method Treatment Time: 3 to 5 Seconds Drying Time: 30 Min (Max) 24 Hrs. curing time. Coverage Area : Minimum 400 Sq.ft. – 1000 Sq.ft / Ltr. Minimum Life : 44,000 hrs. or 5 Years. Technical Data Sheet (TDS) :
How to Apply : • The surface to be applied should be clean & free from any dust , dirt , grease , oil & old paint. • It can be applied by either Spraying , Brushing , Dipping or any other method. • When applied , the colour gradually changes to blue/ black with white spots (because of rust) indicating that the reaction has taken place. • Should be applied preferably between the temperatures ranging from 5 C to 45 C for excellent results. • The drying time is 30 min and curing time is 24 hrs. which can be reduced further using blower fans , heat lamps etc. • Any skilled or unskilled worker can apply it .
Precautions: • Pour / Unload Steel Guard only in a Plastic / PVC container and no other metallic container. • Wear proper hand gloves, industrial masks, eye goggles for extra safety. • Incase of body contact , please wash off with soapy water first and than plain water. Safe & Eco Friendly Product : • Complies to RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substance directive 2002/95/EC) norms. • Is an Inorganic, Non – Inflammable , Non evaporative , Non – toxicant Fire Retardant liquid having no Polar formation and Electro Static Effect on Steel.
RoHS Test Report • Steel Guard nanocoat has passed the RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substance) which does not contain Lead , Hexavalent Chromium , Mercury , Cadmium , PolybrominatedDiplhenylethers.
Benefits of Steel Guard “nanocoat”: • Unique , one of its kind water based rust preventer & remover which makes the applied surface rust free for 44,000 hrs or 5 Years minimum. • A very thin layer 0.02 microns is formed making it resistant to Scratch & corrosion. • Bonding & Adhesion strength of the applied surface increases by more than 100% with Cement , Enamel , Paint , Epoxy etc. • Since is water based (Viscosity of 1.035) , it gives a much higher coverage area as compared to other conventional primers. • Avoids repetetive painting & repainting of structures and gives a longer , durable life avoiding huge maintenance & replacement cost of expensive machinery. • Can be applied by any skilled & unskilled labour and is a an Eco – friendly & Non – hazardous product.
How Does Steel Guard Work ? • Steel Guard forms a protective layer consisting of millions of nuclei on the principles of nanotechnology. • Penentrates into very fine cracks & pores of the steel surface and creates a dense forest of micro crystals which acts as a barrier between the surface & atmosphere. • Vertical & Peripheral Crystallization takes place which results in an arrangement being generated within the surface and not above it. • The micro crystals formed creates their own space within the molecular gap of steel and stops the conversion of Fe2 & Fe3 ions into hydroxy carbonates i.e. Rust. • The arrangement formed is so closely interlinked & interwoven , it does not allow gas & water to penetrate inside iron, thus stopping it from corroding.
Some FAQ’s • Doesn’t water in Steel Guard cause Rust ? No , the water in steel guard contains a rust inhibitor which prevents it from happening. • Will Steel Guard wash off in Rains ? No . Once applied properly , dried & cured for 24 hrs. rain cannot remove the coating. • Can Steel Guard protect from Acid & Acidic Fumes ? Yes , in such applications it acts as a base primer on which any other enamel , epoxy , paint can be applied . • Can Steel Guard be removed after coating ? Yes . Heat the treated metal upto 600 C to loosen the grip of Steel Guard and than brush it off.
Microscopic Study of Steel Guard coated Steel ( Before Heating): • This image of a steel sample with the coating of Steel Guard nanocoat have been magnified 500 times under a microscope. The white particles are the densely formed crystals on the surface of steel on the application of steel guard
Microscopic Study of Steel Guard coated Steel ( After Heating): • The steel sample shown was heated to 400ºc & was hammered away. The chips where peeled off from the surface of steel and observed under the microscope. The picture of which is shown here.
Temperature Test Report • Metalab , a NABL accredited labrotary report shows ‘ No Scaling ‘ , ‘No Blistering’ and No change in the physical form , even after heating upto 300 C.
Salt Spray Test Report • The ELCA Laboratories report shows a 6 time (600%) increase in the life of the applied steel with Steel Guard when compared with untreated rebar The test was conducted under the stringent ASTM Standards.
Coaters Corrosion resistance Test Report ( 70 microns) • The following test shows no rust formation till 2000 hrs after using steel guard as a base primer with the total thickness of 7o microns. (ASTM standards)

Bonding Strength Test Report • The Pull out (Bonding) test results show an increase of more than 100 % in the bonding strength of nanocoated rebars with concrete.
How Does Steel Guard improve the Bonding Strength of Steel ? • Dense forest of micro crystals are formed which has great affinity towards cement & steel becoming inseparable up to 600 C. • Each crystal nucleus of Steel Guard nanocoat has power to attract other cement & paint molecules by virtue of crystal forces and forms a TRAP for molecules of paint / cement which do not have sufficient energy to escape. • Chemisorptions takes place where the molecules are held by a strong chemical bond formed between molecules of Steel Guard & Steel. • Each crystal of Steel Guard nanocoat is cubic shaped ( diamond shaped – 3 & 4 axes) which helps in increasing the adherence of steel / paint with substrate.
Steel Guard “nanocoat” – A Definitive edge over others ….. • First water based , eco friendly rust preventer cum rust remover. • No extra layer is formed(0.02 microns) i.e. resistant to scratch . • Penetrates inside the pores of the steel and removes any existent rust & restores to rust free condition. • Increases the bonding strength by more than 100 % whereas other such products reduce the bonding with concrete , paint etc. • Effective in highly corrosive areas like chemical plants , Petroleum & refinery units , leather plants , saline environment as a base primer. • Highly economical & cost effective with much better coverage area as compared to others. • Easy to apply with minimum surface preparation. Can be dipped , brushed , sprayed or any other method by any skilled & unskilled labour .
Steel Guard nanocoat A Boon to the Railways : • Much higher rust resistant properties as compared to other primers . • Scratch resistant coat giving a much greater life to paint. • Tremendous adhesion to paint & steel leading to non peeling of coating. • Reduces huge maintaince cost by reducing the wagon repair cycle by more than 50 %. • Both removes & protects steel from rusting thus saving huge cost for the railways. • Much higher coverage area resulting in huge economies for the railways. • Minimal surface preparation and any skilled & unskilled worker can coat . • Safe & Eco friendly reducing health hazardous to the valuable railways labour force.
Film Thickness Test Report • Steel Guard nanocoat acts at the molecular level of the steel surface and does not form any extra layer & coating (0.02 microns) , when measured under deltrameter , which is illustrated in the test report
