Why does rust keep coming back

The best part? Dursan can be applied to stainless steel without significantly impacting durability or tolerances. So you can use existing parts or designs and enhance the corrosion performance without redesign or re engineering. We do have part size limitations listed below. For more information, go to our Frequently Asked Questions Page to get information on coating tubing, fittings, and material compatibility. SilcoTek is growing and we are constantly expanding our processing capabilities.

Even if your parts exceed the capabilities and dimensions listed below, please contact our team to discuss possibilities for your application. In some ways the easy part of corrosion prevention on stainless steel is removing the rust. The hard part is keeping the rust off without costly component redesign or re manufacture. You can keep your components and improve corrosion resistance by bonding a high tolerance, high durability, corrosion resistant coating to the surface after rust removal.

Have more questions about how our coatings can prevent rust on stainless steel? Contact our Technical Service Team for a free coating consultation. Remember to use the least damaging but still effective rust removal and cleaning method on parts. Highly aggressive rust removal agents and cleaners can etch part surfaces, creating sites for renewed corrosion or damaging surface finish, seal areas or flow paths.

Have a Question? Chances are they wont repair it for free! Ideally it needs treating with something like RustBullet this seals everything in and should stop the problem recurring. Rust bullet works, I use it myself about 3 times a month. You can't really out new metal into the tailgat as its aluminum and a pita to weld. Also the weld becomes a magnet for the rust to start so all you do is move the problem.

I would give a treatment one go at least as a tailgate won't be cheap. V8covin 4, posts months. If it's bubbling there's a high chance you have a pinhole in the panel. The conversion takes about to minutes to work, after which, you can literally wash the rust off with clean water. If the corroded area was badly rusted, it would be advisable to prep the area beforehand with a wire brush, steel wool, or sand paper. However, because you mentioned surface rust, Q12 can be applied directed to the area without requiring any sort of prep work.

NOTE : Q12 should not be used on certain types of stainless steel, or on chrome-plated surfaces.
