Fireproof Transit Coatings
Specialty Water Based Rust Inhibitors & Rust Prevention Transit Coatings
Export shipping transit coatings must not only prevent corrosion from salt spray, but they also have to be able to prevent corrosion from humidity. Until now the only effective rust prevention coatings for transportation were flammable, solvent based coatings that required hazardous solvents to be removed. SafeGard products are the high performance fireproof rust inhibitor coatings that are removed with detergent not solvents. These SafeGard rust preventing transit coatings, which are available for direct purchase here, contain no VOC’s per new federal EPA Clean Air Act guidelines.
