CB300: Surface drying time: 30 minutes to 4 hours, Full curing time: 1 to 16 hours
CB200: Surface drying time: 30 minutes to 4 hours, Full curing time: Up to 7 days
*Depending on temperature and Humidity.
Store at room temperature and mix every 6 months if left unused for long periods. Always refer to the product’s safety data sheet (SDS) for specific storage guidelines.
Yes, CB300 meets ISO 12944-6 C5 High, providing corrosion protection for 15-25 years in onshore environments.
Since CB200 is not a coating, there is no specific standard for it. However, in a weight loss test comparing it to Deep Hot Galvanization, CB200 provided 2.5 times more protection in terms of mass loss over the long term (10,000 hours).
Both CB200 and CB300 are highly effective in coastal and marine environments. While CB200 may lose its appearance, the protection remains effective over time.
Simply use water, as Coreteel’s products are water-based.
Yes, many of the components are sourced from the cosmetic and food industries, making it non-toxic and eco-friendly. Since it is water-based, there are no VOC hazards.
Applying CB300 before applying paint layers eliminates the need for abrasive surface preparation, enhances corrosion protection even if the paint layers develop defects, and minimizes corrosion from spreading under the damaged paint site.
Furthermore, CB300 enables the reduction of the overall thickness of the paint system.
CB300 is designed for compatibility with coating paint systems and, therefore, requires the application of a topcoat.
When used as a base layer, CB300 enhances the overall corrosion protection of the coating system compared to systems without it.
CB200, on the other hand, is a one-step solution and is not compatible with topcoats.
No, all of Coreteels’s products are intended for application by standard application methods, such as dipping, spraying, brushing, rolling etc..
Both CB200 and CB300 can be applied to surfaces which have a layer of Millscale, a layer of thin rust (without loosely bound particles) or that have been sandblasted or otherwise cleaned, featuring exposed metal.
Yes, CB200 & CB300 can be applied over existing damaged coatings, provided that all loosely bound particles and flakes have been properly removed.
In damaged areas, the CB fluid will penetrate and reach the exposed metal surface, whether rusty or bare, forming a protective layer against corrosion.
To ensure optimal adhesion and performance, it is recommended to clean the surface using high-pressure water to remove any loose rust, paint, oil, or other contaminants.
It can be applied using airless spray, air spray, brush, roller, or dipping (for CB200/100).
No abrasive blasting is needed. Simply clean the surface with high-pressure water (500 bar/7,250 psi) to remove loose rust, paint, oil, and thinners.
The duration of protection depends on the environment and specific conditions. Our CB300 in synergy with various paint systems meets the highest standards of the paint industry – ISO 12944 C5-H (15-25 years in a Coastal environment).
Since CB200 is a one-step solution, in a weight loss test comparing it to Hot deep Galvanization, CB200 provided 2.5 times more protection over the very long term (10,000 hours).
Coreteel reduces costs by eliminating abrasive surface preparation, minimizing labor, and extending maintenance cycles. It offers longer protection and requires fewer reapplications than conventional coatings.
The product reacts with the metal, forming a protective oxide layer on the base of the metal itself, preventing rust from forming.
Coreteel is suitable for a wide range of industries, including industrial, urban, coastal, and marine environments, as well as sectors like oil and gas, automotive, mining, and infrastructure projects. We also offer expert guidance to help you choose the right product based on your specific environmental conditions and requirements.
It is a one-component water-based liquid solution that reacts with metal surfaces to prevent corrosion.
Coreteel’s technology does not coat the metal but chemically transforms the surface, providing long-lasting protection with minimal surface preparation. It is water-based, eco-friendly, and cost-effective, reducing labor and maintenance costs.
