Protecting Metal from Saltwater During Manufacture

Manufacturing metal components or structures intended for marine environments or high-humidity areas requires proactive measures to prevent corrosion.

Saltwater exposure accelerates the oxidation process, leading to rust and structural degradation. To combat this, Protectapeel industrial protective coating plays a crucial role in protecting the surface, ensuring long-term durability and performance

Why is Saltwater Corrosive?
Saltwater is highly corrosive due to its chloride content, which accelerates the breakdown of metal surfaces. When metal is exposed to saltwater, oxidation occurs more rapidly, forming rust and weakening the material over time. Without the right protective measures, metal components can deteriorate quickly, leading to costly repairs and replacements.

Applying Protectapeel for Metal Protection
One of the most effective ways to protect metal during manufacturing is through the application of Protectapeel Anti Rust, which creates a barrier between the metal surface and the environment, preventing direct contact with moisture and salt.

Protectapeel Rust Protection Spray is a straightforward and highly effective solution for preventing corrosion. Applied effortlessly with an airless spray gun, it forms a protective barrier that shields metal surfaces from rust, weathering, and abrasion for up to 12 months.

Unlike traditional methods like oiling, Protectapeel offers superior protection without the hassle. Oil may create a moisture barrier, but it’s a messy and impractical solution. Once applied, oil makes handling difficult, requiring additional coverings to prevent transfer onto other surfaces. This is especially problematic on curved or complex shapes. Additionally, oil must be reapplied every 3-6 weeks, creating an ongoing maintenance burden. Removing oil also requires solvents, leading to extra costs and hazardous waste disposal.

With Protectapeel, there’s no mess, no need for constant reapplication, and no expensive cleanup—just a simple, reliable, and long-lasting solution for metal protection.
Protectapeel delivers exceptional corrosion protection, earning a C5 High rating after 1,440 hours of rigorous salt spray testing and meeting EN ISO standards for durability. Unlike traditional oil-based methods, it’s eco-friendly, solvent-free, and effortlessly removable—simply peel it off by hand when no longer needed. No mess, no harmful chemicals, just superior, long-lasting protection made
