HOLD*BLAST (9992264) is a concentrated organic chemistry which is added to water. This biodegradable product does not leave a film or residue to interfere with coating adhesion.

Used For:

• To prevent flash rust through surface passivation.
• HOLD*BLAST is a cost-effective, environmentally safe, coating friendly additive to prevent flash rusting.

Features:

• As a surface passivator, it chemically changes the active surface of metal to a much less reactive state. Surface corrosion can occur when water wet surfaces react with atmospheric oxygen. This often results in the formation of flash rust, which can be eliminated with the use of HOLD*BLAST. This product passivates the surface to stop the formation of surface rust for long periods of time, often several days.
• WET ABRASIVE BLASTING? Just add it to the water.
• DRY BLASTING? Do a quick pressure wash afterward.
• ‘Hold the blast’ costs only pennies per square foot.
• This product does not leave a residue that interferes with coating adhesion.

CHLOR*TEST (Kit) (9992260 – 5 Tests per Kit / 9992266 – 50 Tests per Box) is a new method to field test surfaces for chlorides. This new product has been developed for ease of use and to prevent outside cross-contamination during field test procedures. This revolutionary new test method is so complete and easy to use that even the least experienced inspector can get accurate results. Test after rigorous test has proven CHLOR*TEST more reliable than any other method of testing. The components are pre-measured to ensure accurate results in parts per million and micrograms per centimetre square. In addition, no temperature correction is needed for 41 °F to 176 °F. Field test inspectors around the world will use this innovative product with confidence on virtually any surface at any angle. It is designed to be used on vertical, horizontal or overhead surfaces. It is recommended as the easiest, most accurate method for testing on such costly structures as ships, aircraft, offshore rigs, tanks, bridges and storage tanks. Test kit includes everything necessary for testing.

Used For:

• It uses a unique patented extract solution, CHLOR*EXTRACT, to retrieve surface chloride contamination. In the field, this special extract enhances retrieval rates, thereby increasing accuracy. The greater the retrieval rate, the more accurate the test results.

Features:

• It was developed for ease of use and to prevent outside and cross contamination.
• The components are premeasured to ensure accurate results in parts per million and micrograms per centimeter square.
• In addition, no temperature correction is needed for 41 °F to 176 °F.
• Field test inspectors around the world will use this innovative product with confidence on virtually any surface at any angle.

CHLOR*RID (9992259 1 Gal, 9992257 5 Gal) – CHLOR*RID is an organic bonding chemical blend which aids in the removal of chlorides, sulphates and most other soluble salts. It contains no volatile organic compounds and is biodegradable.

Used For:

• It is recommended as a wash solution for the removal of soluble salt contamination from surfaces prior to application of primers or coatings on a variety of surfaces including ferrous and nonferrous metals, wood and plastics and concrete. EVS Environment Consultants conducted the LC50 toxicity test on May 30, 1995 for both fresh and salt-water species at 3%. The CHLOR*RID report from EVS dated August 22, 1995 to Powertech Labs stated that the CHLOR*RID had less than 50% mortality for both species.

Application:

• CHLOR*RID can be used in all surface preparation procedures, including hand washing, pressure washing, and abrasive blasting. Because of the wide variety of surface conditions, work environments, weather conditions, etc., these directions are general and may require alterations to suit individual project conditions. Always do a test area, and consult your CHLOR*RID supplier if additional information is needed.
• MANUAL WASHING Add CHLOR*RID to potable water at a rate of 23 ml to 1 litre (3 oz to 1 gallon) of water. Use a hand brush and scrub surface with a circular motion, reversing direction periodically. Hand washing is intended for small areas only and is not recommended for porous surfaces, such as concrete or pitted steel. Add CHLOR*RIDTM to rinse water at 1 to 100 ratio.
• HIGH PRESSURE WASHING CHLOR*RID is added to the water of the pressure washer, usually in a dilution ratio from 1:50 to 1:100. The application rate is dependent on the contamination level and the water quality. Add CHLOR*RID to a reservoir supply – or use a siphon tube or metering pump. Apply 1gallon of CHLOR*RID for 1 L for 7.4 to 24.5 m² (300 to 1,000 ft²) of surface, depending on contamination level. Use potable water or other approved source. A minimum 3,000-psi (20.7 MPa) pressure washer is recommended. Flush washer and lines prior to application. Hold pressure nozzle close to the surface, usually 5 to 15 cm (2 to 6 inches), to ensure all surfaces are washed with direct high pressure. Use hot water for best results. In areas of deep pitting, slow the wash speed to enable CHLOR*RID to penetrate into corrosion cells. Do not rinse.

Features:

• It will not interfere with the adhesion of protective coatings.
