We provide solutions for every rust & corrosion problem
Structural corrosion
Problem: Structural corrosion is a common problem for metal beams, girders and building infrastructure, often resulting in accelerated degradation or unexpected collapses as a result of micro fractures and brittleness. Buildings and structures exposed to harsh environmental conditions such as in coastal locations or areas prone to acid rain are especially prone to structural corrosion issues. Solution: NCH Salvage 2+ is an ideal solution to inhibit and stop corrosion of rusted structures. By encapsulating rusted structures with Salvage 2+, the progression of rust can be prevented, minimising safety risks and repair costs. NCH Salvage 2+ contains micro glass and micro aluminium flakes, which gives the paint “double armour” protection. This impenetrable barrier prevents corrosive media getting through to metal. The cost-saving rust treatment solution is approved for 3,000 hours Scribed Hot Salt Spray test ATSM B117, ensuring performance that you can depend on.

Corroded parts
Problem: A combination of oxygen, water and time will cause iron and iron alloys to rust. Rust and corrosion is a common problem for parts and components, causing weakening and eventual parts failure; corrosion can lead to unnecessary business expenses for replacements, as well as damaging user confidence, brand reputation, and increasing safety issues. It is therefore imperative to remove tarnishing and rust to protect components. Solution: NCH X-Rust 7 is an ideal solution to remove tarnish and rust from carbon steel, mild steel, cast iron and metal parts by immersion. Using a powerful pH neutral formulation, X-Rust 7 prevents flash flooding of metal parts, effective at room temperature.

Rust patches
Problem: Unsightly areas of rust or “rust patches” are common on plant parts, machinery and equipment. If left untreated, these areas will spread, causing large and long term damage to parts, resulting in increased avoidable costs to your business. Solution: NCH Chelade is an effective solution to manage and treat rust patches for all businesses, from manufacturing and construction to agriculture, transportation and maritime. Chelade is a versatile polymeric rust converter that will transform rusted surfaces into an instant, inert, heavy-duty primer to inhibit and control corrosion. Chelade is compatible with most paints (once converted, apply a topcoat for long term protection) and requires minimal surface preparation, saving time (just degreasing and removing loose rust are required). Save time, avoid unnecessary costs, and control rust patches with NCH; discuss your requirements with our experts or get a free quote today.
Rusting of transported goods
Problem: Manufactured metal parts and assembled/disassembled machinery can rust during transit. This can lead to customers receiving poor quality goods, resulting in increased costs for replacement or damage to brand reputation. Environmental conditions such as heat, moisture or salt in trucks/trains can accelerate corrosion, having a financial impact on your business. Solution: NCH Resist X Extra is an ideal solution to protect components and prevent rust/corrosion during transportation. Resist X Extra can be applied to parts or components before packing to ensure they arrive rust free and can be easily removed upon arrival. Resist X Extra displaces and seals out moisture providing advanced corrosion protection that you can rely on. Our rust prevention product leaves a lubricating film on treated surfaces (providing an oily coating) and contains no chlorinated solvents or barium. Protect your goods and products in transit with NCH Resist X Extra; discuss your requirements with our experts or get a free quote today.
Rusted stored metal
Problem: Metal parts, machinery, tools and equipment placed in storage will rust over time. Even if components are stored indoors, damp, heat, and humidity can cause rust to form and develop on metal surfaces. Rust and corrosion can cause significant issues for stored metal and can have a financial impact on the assets of your business. Solution: NCH Show Hi is an ideal solution for protecting metal parts, tools, and machinery in storage. It leaves a soft, waxy, non-tacky film to protect surfaces, lasting up to 18 months indoors and 9 months outdoors. Show Hi contains no chlorinated solvents and has excellent moisture displacement and flexibility to protect exposed metals, tools and components. Reduce unnecessary costs by protecting your stored metals with NCH Show Hi; discuss your requirements with our experts or get a free quote today.
Returning/recurring rust
Problem: Flash corrosion can occur rapidly, particularly when an acid based rust removal product has been used. In these instances, rust can return, requiring de-rusting processes to be carried out immediately. As a result valuable labour time is consumed to reverse returning rust – time which could be used on other tasks. Solution: NCH offers a range of corrosion resistant aerosol coatings to protect metal components. HyZinc Extra provides the most corrosion protection, with StayPut offering extreme-temperature protection up to 600°C. Regardless of your requirements, we can supply rust preventative solutions to suit your business; enquire about our aerosol coatings or contact us to request a free quote, today.

Our solutions follow a program of preparation, treatment, and protection:
Find out moreStep 1: Preparation
Before undertaking any form of rust treatment, it is essential to first remove any loose rust and contaminants from surfaces. NCH offers powerful and highly effective industrial degreasers designed to ensure your metal surfaces are free from contaminants that may impair rust treatment solutions.
Step 2: Treatment
NCH provides a number of solutions to completely remove or treat rust on rusted metal surfaces. Our range includes our pH neutral solution X-Rust 7, and Salvage 2+ which encapsulates rust without the need for removal by painting it onto the rusty surface, stopping further corrosion and providing outstanding protection. Alternatively Chelade converts rust into primer, which once painted over provides long term protection.
Step 3: Protection
Unless you have fully encapsulated the rust using Salvage 2+, you will need to protect the surface to prevent rust returning: We provide a range of aerosol coatings; Hy Zinc Extra, AL 217 and Stay Put; formulated to provide long term protection against corrosion. Alternatively our temporary protective coatings, Show HI and Resist X Extra provide protection from rust during storage and transportation.
