The cladding had previously been painted and through time it was clear that the adhesion between the coating and galvanised sheet had failed. So poor was the adhesion, it would be reasonable to assume that there had been no primer used and therefore galvanised sheet being a difficult substrate to paint, the coatings subsequent failure was inevitable.

Once a site visit had been made we worked with the contractor (Cameron Stewart C S Coatings) to devise a suitable specification using products manufactured by Rust-Oleum which were suitable for using effectively on galvanised sheet. After carrying out the necessary adhesion tests, we were confident that Rust-Oleum Noxyde was the correct product to use as it improves the cladding lifetime by more than ten years.

Noxyde is a single-component waterborne elastic coating with very special anti-corrosive and water resistant properties. Noxyde will not flake: it follows the movement of cladding as it contracts and expands. Noxyde does not let water in. Its excellent adhesion to metal means no underlying rust can occur even where the Noxyde layer is mechanically damaged.

Advantages:

• Very easy to apply with airless equipment.
• Waterborne
• Lasting elasticity: will not flake
• Excellent adhesion
• Impermeable to water
• Contains anti-corrosion pigments
• Minimal surface preparation: high-pressure cleaning with water
• Excellent edge corrosion protection
• Available in standard colours and other colours on request
