Industrial & Commercial Rust and Corrosion Protection

Rust must be thoroughly eliminated before any protective treatment can be effective. We use targeted rust-removal techniques that not only clean the surface but also stabilize it for long-term coating adhesion.
This includes:
Mechanical Abrasive Cleaning to strip heavy corrosion from metal surfaces.
Chemical Rust Neutralization to halt oxidation and stop rust from spreading.
High-Pressure Washing & Priming to remove residues and prepare a solid foundation for new coatings.
Proper preparation ensures that every protective layer performs at its best and maximizes durability.

Our high-performance systems protect and extend the life of metal surfaces in industrial, commercial and retail environments. These treatments provide a first line of defense against corrosion, UV exposure, and environmental wear.
Zinc-Rich & Zinc Phosphate Primers: Seal and protect against oxidation. Epoxy Primers: Form a durable, moisture-resistant barrier. Metal Etch Primers: Enhance adhesion on smooth surfaces. Chemical Rust Converters: Neutralize rust at the molecular level.
UV & Weather-Resistant Finishes: Shield against sun, rain and humidity.
These coatings strengthen roof sheeting, cladding and steel elements for lasting durability and structural integrity.

Following priming, we apply industrial-grade coatings that form a durable barrier against rust, moisture and environmental damage built to withstand even the harshest conditions.
Our system includes:
Anti-Rust Coatings: Protect against rain, humidity, salt air and pollutants.
Thermal Reflective Coatings: Reduce heat absorption and stress from expansion and contraction.
Waterproof Sealants: Seal seams, joints, and fasteners for a watertight, rust-resistant finish.
These treatments deliver a fully sealed, corrosion-resistant roofing solution for industrial, commercial and retail applications.

When corrosion affects metal roofing or structural components, prompt action is vital to restore strength and safety.
Our services include:
Replacement of Corroded Sheeting, Flashing & Purlins: Remove and replace damaged elements to ensure long-term reliability.
Reinforcement of Rust-Weakened Areas: Retrofit and strengthen compromised sections.
Preventative Maintenance & Risk Management: Ongoing inspections and strategies to reduce risk and avoid costly repairs.
In harsh environments, rust control is essential, not just for structural integrity, but for compliance, liability reduction and cost-effective asset management.

Industrial settings such as factories, refineries, and coastal operations are constantly exposed to chemical fumes, salt-laden air, humidity and extreme temperature fluctuations. These conditions accelerate the breakdown of metal surfaces, creating ideal conditions for rust to form and spread. Without proper protection, roofing and structural elements rapidly degrade, especially in sectors where exposure is daily and intense. Proactive rust prevention is essential to maintaining durability in these high-risk enviroments.

Rust is more than surface damage, it’s a progressive and invasive threat. When left untreated, corrosion penetrates deep into metal, compromising joints, welds, beams and fasteners. This can lead to severe deformation or even total structural collapse. In roofing systems, the loss of strength from corroded components can create serious safety hazards for building occupants and workers. Early detection and treatment are critical to preserving the load-bearing capacity and lifespan of your infrastructure.

Failing to address corrosion risks can lead to serious financial and legal consequences. In South Africa, SANS building safety regulations require that commercial and industrial structures are properly maintained, including protection against corrosion. Non-compliance can result in voided insurance claims, project delays, or legal liability in the event of roof failure or workplace injuries. Implementing a corrosion control strategy isn’t just best practice, it’s a compliance requirement that protects your business.

Ignoring rust today often means paying for major structural repairs tomorrow. A simple, affordable coating or treatment applied now can prevent corrosion from progressing into expensive rehabilitation or component replacement down the line. On average, preventative rust control costs less than 10% of full structural repair work, making it one of the most cost-effective maintenance investments for any facility.
