Our Rust and Corrosion Control Solutions
1️⃣ Rust Removal & Surface Preparation
Rust must be fully eliminated before any treatment can work. We strip and stabilise the surface for long-term coating adhesion:
Mechanical abrasive cleaning to remove heavy corrosion.
Chemical rust neutralisation to halt oxidation and stop the spread.
High-pressure washing & priming for a solid foundation.
2️⃣ Anti-Corrosion Primers & Treatments
High-performance systems that form the first line of defence against corrosion, UV and wear: zinc-rich & zinc-phosphate primers, epoxy primers, metal-etch primers, chemical rust converters and UV/weather-resistant finishes. These coatings strengthen sheeting, cladding and steel for lasting durability.
3️⃣ Protective Roof Coatings & Sealants
After priming we apply industrial-grade coatings that form a durable barrier against rust, moisture and weather:
Anti-rust coatings against rain, humidity, salt air and pollutants.
Thermal-reflective coatings to reduce heat stress.
Waterproof sealants for seams, joints and fasteners.
4️⃣ Structural Reinforcement & Repairs
When corrosion reaches structural components, prompt action restores strength and safety:
Replacing corroded sheeting, flashing & purlins.
Reinforcing rust-weakened areas.
Preventative maintenance & risk management through ongoing inspections.
5️⃣ Ongoing Maintenance & Monitoring Plans
Corrosion is progressive — even treated surfaces degrade without oversight. Our tailored plans keep them protected:
Scheduled inspections & corrosion mapping for early detection.
Touch-up treatments & recoating to reinforce protection and extend roof life.
Why Rust Control Is Critical for Industrial Roofing
1️⃣ Harsh Industrial Environments
Factories, refineries and coastal operations face constant chemical fumes, salt-laden air, humidity and temperature swings. These conditions accelerate the breakdown of metal, creating ideal conditions for rust to form and spread. Without protection, roofing and structural elements degrade rapidly — proactive rust prevention is essential to durability.
2️⃣ When Structural Integrity Is at Risk
Rust is more than surface damage — it's progressive and invasive. Left untreated, corrosion penetrates deep into metal, compromising joints, welds, beams and fasteners, and can lead to severe deformation or collapse. Early detection and treatment preserve the load-bearing capacity and lifespan of your infrastructure.
3️⃣ Insurance, Compliance & Liability
Failing to address corrosion carries financial and legal risk. SANS building-safety regulations require commercial and industrial structures to be properly maintained, including corrosion protection. Non-compliance can void insurance claims, delay projects or create liability if a roof fails — a corrosion strategy is a compliance requirement.
4️⃣ Cost of Repairs vs. Prevention
Ignoring rust today means paying for major structural repairs tomorrow. An affordable coating applied now stops corrosion progressing into costly rehabilitation. On average, preventative rust control costs less than 10% of full structural repair — one of the most cost-effective investments for any facility.
5️⃣ Asset Lifespan & Resale Value
Corrosion affects not just performance but the value and longevity of your assets. Rust-damaged roofs and supports lower market value, deter buyers and raise insurance premiums. Consistent protection preserves integrity, extends usable lifespan and improves resale or audit readiness — critical to maximising return on investment.
