Why Permacorr®

Permacorr was developed by a team led by a chemist with 45 years in the paint and coatings industry and designed for external use on carbon steel structures. Permacorr offers unparalleled corrosion protection – without any environmental impact.

Permacorr is an entirely new approach to preventing rust. Its dual process of phosphatizing the metal to prevent corrosion while simultaneously forming a protective cement-like layer which chemically alters the steel’s surface so it will not rust.

If a section of Permacorr-coated steel is nicked or chipped, it will heal itself – stopping any rust from developing.

The adjacent image illustrates that Permacorr can be applied to freshly blasted steel or directly to flash rusted steel. Permacorr also dries quickly – in just a few minutes.
