Solutions for Metal
Our metal protection systems are often successful where previous coating systems have failed or universal coatings cannot meet the requirements.

The unique 769® Fish-oil rust primer
Our heritage in corrosion control started in 1921 with the wonder product 769. A special direct to rust primer based on fish-oil that features a unique penetrating power. The primer soaks right through rust to bare metal, driving out trapped air and moisture that cause rust. Ordinary primers merely 'bridge'rust, trapping rust-producing air and moisture inside so rusting continues.
