Silicone anti-corrosion coatings formulated to restore metal structures and equipment on an advanced level
THE CHALLENGE OF CORROSION
Corrosion is a serious concern in the utilities industry, where outdoor conditions accelerate the spread of rust. Power plants, distribution lines and substations are built under harsh weather conditions and temperatures, to which where metals such as steel and aluminium are exposed.
Research by NACE International, worldwide corrosion authority, demonstrated, that the annual cost of this problem comes to a total of $2.5 trillion which means corrosion in utilities makes up for the larger part of annual industrial corrosion costs, namely 39.7%.

HOW DO WE MITIGATE CORROSION?
To tackle this problematic, at Midsun Group, we have formulated a ready-to-use one-part system RTV coating, named Midsun Silprocoat to protect against corrosion and to optimize the usage of the equipment.
The product can be sprayed immediately after opening the pail. No primer is needed, and minimum surface preparation is required.
Moreover, the product cures in less than 1 hour and will last more than 10 years in challenging environments.
THE MAIN FEATURES OF MIDSUN SILPROCOAT
Midsun Silprocoat is a top-notch resistance to weathering, water and chemical substances – making it ideal to use in coastal, industrial and desert areas.

APPLICATION DETAILS
Prior to coating, the surface must be thoroughly cleaned. In most instances, the surface only requires a high-pressure water wash. Tightly bonded tenacious rust does not need to be removed, but, however, depending on the amount of corrosion present, solvent cleaning (SSPC-SP1), hand tool cleaning (SSPC-SP@), power tool cleaning (SSPPC-SP#) or commercial blasting (SSPC-SP6) may be required. Please contact your Midsun Group representatives for the recommended surface preparation.
Methods of coating insulators include brushing, rolling, and spraying. When a small surface needs to be coated, coating by aerosol cans is sufficient to use, preferably applied with a brush or roller is recommended method.
Usually one or two coats is sufficient to obtain the recommended minimum thickness of 10 mil 250 microns (0.010”). When coating a large structure surface, spraying is the recommended approach.
Each coat can be applied as soon as the previous coat becomes tacky (not entirely dry!). This can be anywhere up to 15 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature and humidity. The full curing time is approximately 45 minutes.
