Anti-Rust Product of Iranian Company Increases Lifespan of Iron, All Types of Pipes
“Buildings with a metal frame or drinking water pipes need to be coated with anti-rust products to resist corrosion, water, air, rain, wind and dust,” Azim Azimi, the managing director of ‘Asr-e Memaran Jonoub’ company, told ANA.
“The anti-rust and anti-corrosion product can be used in the metal framework of buildings and thick water pipes in addition to refineries,” he added.
Noting that large amounts of money is being spent for purchasing hardware and pipes in industries, Azimi said, “When the equipment is coated with anti-rust products, its lifespan is extended and the costs will be lower.”
He explained that the anti-rust and anti-corrosion product of his company is in liquid form, saying, “This product has been made for the first time in Iran since every company has its own production standards and formulas, and the desired product is assessed in terms of wear, corrosion and heat and is presented to the market with special standards.”
Surface coating is an effective way to increase the resistance of equipment and metal parts against corrosion and erosion, and earlier this year, an Iranian knowledge-based company also achieved the technical know-how of using this technology.
A report said in early March that, the knowledge-based ‘Shiler Farayand Pars’ company, supported by the Iranian Vice-Presidency for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy, produced special zirconium nanocoating for covering metal equipment and parts.
Unlike phosphate and chromate coatings, zinc oxide coatings do not have environmental problems and the process is performed at ambient temperature and in less time. Another important feature of Zirconium conversion coatings is their lower weight compared to cremate or phosphate coatings.
Achieving a coating with a thickness of less than 100 nanometers on the metal surface, the ability to operate at ambient temperature, the absence of substances harmful to human health and the environment, and the low cost of implementation are other advantages of this Iran-made product.
Application of zirconium coating with a very thin thickness (in nanometer dimensions) on steel, aluminum and galvanized surfaces improves parameters like the adhesion of the organic coating and increases the resistance to paint corrosion and cathodic separation of the paint.
