ELECTROX
Zinc-rich anti-corrosion coating for steel.
-
Unique zinc-rich coating
Electrox protects steel from corrosion with both barrier and electrical functionality. Coating steel with Electrox produces a surface film containing over 90% metallic zinc. Once cured, the tightly packed zinc particles establish an electronically conductive pathway, enabling cathodic protection of the underlying steel; exactly the same principle utilised in hot zinc galvanising.
For years, galvanised steel has proven to provide outstanding longevity even in the most hostile and aggressive environments. It’s unfortunate that the process involves hot dipping steel into a bath of liquid zinc.
For many items and projects this is, of course, simply not possible. For those wanting to provide the very best protection to steel, Bilt-Hamber’s Electrox allows the advantages of a zinc coating to be obtained as simply as if a normal metal primer were being used. It can be applied by brush or by spray, and as it is a single pack product there is no need for mixing activators. The cured zinc film can be left uncoated or top coated with a wide range of finishing paints to further increase protection
Recommended Uses
Electrox is recommended for use on offshore structures, harbour installations, jetty and pier pilings and extreme duty vehicle chassis work.
Electrox is of particular benefit in vehicle restoration where underbody protection is of vital importance. The highest levels of corrosion protection can easily be imparted to chassis rails, floor pans, sill sections, suspension components etc., in fact any area or part can be protected with this outstanding primer.
A Comparison
Most paint coatings rely on barrier protection of steel surfaces to prevent corrosion, and while most have corrosion inhibitor pigments to improve longevity, the long-term protection is often disappointing. Protection of these barrier type coatings is quickly diminished at impact and damage sites too.
A cured film of Electrox is a true zinc-rich coating containing in excess of 90% pure zinc. Proven through thousands of hours of salt-spray testing, zinc-rich coatings are accepted as irreplaceable in the most hostile corrosive conditions. Furthermore, the protection imparted by cathodic action means that steel surfaces are kept free of corrosion even in the event of film disruption.
EPOXY-MASTIC
Heavy-duty two-part waterproof tough coating for steel and alloys.

ETCHWELD
Self etching weld-through primer for steel and alloys.
-
Etchweld is an etching primer corrosion protection spray
Etchweld is a single pack high-performance self-etching primer that provides ultra-high levels of adhesion to steel substrates.
Etchweld protects surfaces from corrosion and promotes superb adhesion for an enormous range of intermediate and top coats, even increasing the durability of powder coating.
Etchweld can be used on some non-metallic substrates, but tests should be conducted before use.
Etchweld can be used as an adhesion promoter for two pack fillers, putties and stoppers. Unlike other etch primers, Etchweld also provides a weld-through function.
Etchweld will also provide high levels of adhesion for coatings applied to non-ferrous substrates such as aluminium and zinc treated surfaces.
Etchweld is free of heavy metals and chromates.

HIGH-BUILD
Aerosol applied high build primer, easy sanding.
-
Highbild is a high build filler primer
500ml Aerosol with adjustable fan pattern spray valve
An excellent high solids modified alkyd / zinc phosphate high build filler primer designed to fill and level imperfections in automotive bodywork. Extensive testing against current filler primers proves Highbild’s superior build rate and flatting characteristics. The auto-cross-linking film avoids shrink back on repaired areas.
The fast drying film is easily flatted back to achieve and even film and good flow out of subsequent finish coats.
Highbild is designed to be over coated with a wide-range of single and two pack finishes. Highbild can be used on bare metal, GRP and fully cured paint surfaces.
Dry film thickness typically 25 – 50 micron. Normal cure time is 60 minutes before flatting and 90 minutes before over coating. Accelerated cure can be provided by infra-red lamp. Highbild provides true spray gun levels of filler primer build from an aerosol package.
HYDRATE-80
Hydrate-80 is a rust converter which provides unparalleled protection to rusted steel surfaces.

Hydrate-80 Rust Converter
Traditional paints and coatings applied to corrosion give disappointingly short-lived performance because they simply hide the underlying and continuing corrosion – the failure is first seen by blistering of the coating and the rapid breakthrough of rust.
Hydrate-80 provides powerful protection to rusted steel surfaces, its electrochemical function stabilises existing corrosion by converting the iron oxides into a protective metal complex and it also combines with surface moisture and oxygen depriving the corrosion process of the conditions it requires. Paints and coatings applied to a Hydrate-80 treated surface demonstrate amazing improvements in long-term performance.
Hydrate-80 provides a superior stable barrier to prevent further attack. The cross-linking polymer formulated to provide the tough non-rubbery barrier tenaciously grips the metal surface forming an ideal base for further coatings, paints or anticorrosion wax.
Importantly for long-term protection Hydrate-80 doesn’t contain chlorine which is known to transform into corrosive hydrochloric acid in rust converter applications causing under-film blistering and destruction of paint finishes or other coating products.
Long-Term Performance
The long-term performance of Hydrate-80 has been proven to significantly increase coating life in independent tests conducted by the German TÜV organisation under conditions of VDA 621-415 (6 cycles, or 1008 hrs) which included exposure to hot salt-spray, 100% relative humidity and drying atmospheres with each cycle lasting 168 hours.
Hydrate-80 was awarded Practical Classics magazine “Best Buy” and “Product Recommended” after a long-term trial comparing it to 12 other products – in fact Hydrate-80 was applied to more heavily corroded steel than the competition and still outperformed them. Hydrate-80 has been used to arrest and prevent corrosion in diverse applications – from massive marine installations to classic and historic vehicle restoration Hydrate-80 provides dependable long-term protection.

Interface provides a chemically active bonding layer for difficult polymer substrates.
Standard automotive paint systems will not adequately adhere to plastics or polymer materials commonly used in modern automotive construction, and while at first the coating appears to be adequately bonded, the plasticisers used in the polymers will cause adhesion loss and coating failure.
Interface produces outstanding results and with the 15 minute cure time, rapid work speed can be achieved.
