How long does it take to dry and cure?2025-03-27T15:10:48+02:00

CB300: Surface dry in 30 minutes to 4 hours, cured in 1 to 16 hours depending on temperature.

CB200: Surface dry in 30 minutes to 4 hours, cured in 7 days.

How should Coreteel’s products be stored?2025-03-27T15:10:07+02:00

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.

Does Coreteel meet any industry standards?2025-03-27T15:09:46+02:00

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 over the long term (10,000 hours).

How does it perform in high humidity and saltwater environments?2025-03-27T15:09:19+02:00

It is highly effective in coastal and marine conditions. While CB200 may lose its appearance, the protection remains intact.

How should I clean my tools after application?2025-03-27T15:08:52+02:00

Simply use water, as Coreteel is water-based.

Is Coreteel safe for users and the environment?2025-03-27T15:08:34+02:00

Yes, all ingredients are sourced from the cosmetic and food industries, making it non-toxic and eco-friendly.

Why should I use CB300 before my paint system?2025-03-27T15:08:17+02:00

Eliminates the need for abrasive surface preparation.
Enhances corrosion protection, preventing rust from spreading under damaged paint.
Reducing the thickness of the paint system layer needed.

Can Coreteel be painted over?2025-03-27T15:07:51+02:00

CB300 is designed to work under paint systems, enhancing protection.
CB200 is a one-step solution and is not intended for painting over.

Does it require special equipment?2025-03-27T15:07:04+02:00

No, standard application tools are sufficient.

Can it be used on both new and old surfaces?2025-03-27T15:06:47+02:00

Yes, It’s effective on a variety of surfaces, including new steel with mill scale, as well as used, rusted, and sandblasted surfaces.

Can it be applied over existing coatings?2025-03-27T15:06:32+02:00

Yes, it can be applied over existing coatings as long as the paint is intact and not peeling. The exposed metal will still receive protection. To ensure optimal conditions clean the surface with high-pressure water to remove any loose rust, paint, oil, and solvents.

How are Coreteel’s products applied?2025-03-27T15:06:05+02:00

It can be applied using airless spray, air spray, brush, roller, or dipping (for CB200/100).

What surface preparation is required?2025-03-27T15:05:47+02:00

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.

How long does the protection last?2025-03-27T15:05:27+02:00

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).

How does Coreteel compare to traditional coatings in cost and efficiency?2025-03-27T15:05:01+02:00

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.

How does our protection work?2025-03-27T15:04:43+02:00

The product reacts with the metal, forming a protective oxide layer on the base of the metal itself, preventing rust from forming.

What industries or applications is it suitable for?2025-03-27T15:04:22+02:00

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.

What kind of material is it?2025-03-27T15:04:03+02:00

It is a one-component water-based liquid solution that reacts with metal surfaces to prevent corrosion.

What makes Coreteel different from traditional corrosion protection methods?2025-03-27T15:03:23+02:00

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.
