When Chlorides (or other contaminants) are a problem, HoldTight®102 is a cost effective and reliable solution.  If Flash Rust is an issue, HoldTight®102 is THE answer.  Cost Conscious?  Check out our dilution ratios and consult us for estimating assistance.  Using UHP?  HoldTight®102 will end the “good rust” vs “bad rust” dilemma and, used properly, will work with any equipment.  If Coating Compatibility is a concern:  ask Ameron, Carboline, Dampney, Hempel, Keeler & Long,  PPG, Sherwin-Williams, Sigma, Tnemec, Wasser or most any other coating supplier and compare to other products:  no nitrates, no phosphates, no solvents, no film, no residue, non-acidic, neutral pH when applied.

 

HoldTight®102 has been tested for compatibility with many different types of atmospheric and immersion service coatings. Pull test values [p.s.i.] for typical coatings in a number of major categories are shown below.  Contact us for more.
