Steelgard Export's thin and transparent film affords a much higher level of protection than the old-fashioned methods involving thck heavy coatings which can be difficult, messy and time-consuming to apply - and even worse to remove.

Steelgard Export

Steelgard Export Information Shets
Steelgard Export info (in PDF Format)

In the past, the prevention of corrosion of metal parts and machinery destined for export, or subject to long periods of storage under adverse conditions, has been a fairly crude affair.
Until now, those responsible for ensuring that goods are delivered to the customer in perfect condition have been stuck (sometimes literally!) with thick heavy difficult-to-apply coatings of variable and often poor quality.
Following years of research and field trials, Vapor-Tek have developed the solution in the form of Steelgard Export.
Steelgard protects all major metals and alloys, is easy to apply, spreads and penetrates, is water displacing, neutralises fingerprints, coats complete assemblies, protects the whole thing, saves time, assists with quality control.

Steelgard GP (General Purpose)

Stelgard Information Sheets
Steelgard info (in PDF Format)

A premium product manufactured to meet the requirements of the Ministry of Defence Standard DEF.STAN. 68-10 (PX-24) and NATO CODE C-634. It is approved by leading British and foreign aerospace, engineering and government organisations (details on request).Steelgard GP is an excellent corrosion preventive with very efficient penetrating and water displacing properties. It is easy to apply and remove (when required) and economical in its use (covering 120+ square metres per litre).Steelgard GP has been formulated to protect all metals - ferrous and non ferrous - and is particularly effective in combating the corrosive effects of acid fumes, salt water and other corrosive vapours.

Steelgard 521

A very high quality product manufactured to meet the requirements of Ministry of Defence Standard DEF.STAN 68-10 (PX-24) and the NATO Code C-634. Approved by leading British and foreign aerospace, engineering and government organisations (details on request). Also available in the form of aerosol for general maintenance purposes.

Steelgard TD

Similar to Steelgard GP but leaves a thin, touch-dry, non-oily film for better handling and presentation. The non-tacky film will not gather dust or debris.

Steelgard Universal

Similar to Steelgard GP in most properties, but gives extra protection to non-ferrous metals. Excellent for electrical equipment and other complex mixed metal items and assemblies.

Aquavap

Functions in a manner similar to Vaporol, but uses water in place of oil as the "carrier". Its uses include pressure testing of items such as pumps, fire extinguishers, gas cylinders, boilers, pipework, heat exchangers and hydraulic systems. Also finds use in the prevention of corrosion of packaged metal parts during storage and transportation. Very low toxicity.

Aquatest MP

For use during pressure and flow testing. Used in diluted form, usually 1% to 2% in water to render it harmless and non-corrosive to most ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys.

VCI/VPI Paper

Paper impregnated with vapour-phase inhibitors of corrosion used as a wrapping material for the protection of metal parts, avoiding the need for protective surface coatings. Examples include certain precision metal parts, surgical steel blades, bearings, needles, screws, food equipment, etc. Nitrite-free : no toxicity or handling problems.

Steelgard VOC-Free

A thin, soft film corrosion preventative formulated to assist in conforming to the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and Statutory Instrument 1991, No.472. Film Type: BSI 1133, Section 6, TP5. Will not drain from surfaces (a problem with simple oil-based products and water-based emulsions). No drying time. Easily removed if necessary.

Steelgard RP Grease

Designed for really heavy duty applications. Applied by brush, the film thickness is controlled by the operator. However, this is not generally less than 50 microns. Protection under normal storage and transportation conditions is to all intents indefinite.

Vaporol

Special Formulations

Unusual problems of corrosion call for "unusual" solutions. In instances where there is no appropriate product in our standard range, we can draw upon our wide experience of corrosion problem-solving to formulate special materials to suit the circumstances.
