Foscote R.S.
‘Bringing New Ideas To The Surface’
Foscote R.S. was originally developed by our sister company Walterisation® back in the 1940’s. Today we have taken the principle of derusting steel surfaces and put a modern twist on the technology, making the chemical non-hazardous, water-based, efficient and environmentally friendly.
PreTreat’s ‘new’ Foscote R.S. is a complex mixture of a vinyl acrylic copolymer and tannic acid for the treatment of corroded steel and iron surfaces. It neutralises the corrosion process by converting the rust into a blue-black metallo-organic complex which passivates the surface. It then further protects the surface by forming a film with low permeability to water vapour and oxygen.
Foscote R.S. is self-priming but for long-term protection it is advisable to overcoat with a suitable water or solvent base midcoat or topcoat.
This product has been designed for application by spray and brush and one litre can treat 8-9 square meters.
It is a non-hazardous solution and has been tested and certified as fit for use for the carriage of grain and use in potable water systems.
Available in 25 Litres, 1 Litre and 250 ml pack sizes.
