The
Rust Bullet® panel has slight blistering and undercutting
along the scribe lines and none around the hole or the edges.
There is slight discoloration and some loss of gloss retention. |
The
Wasser® Brand System panel is the second best test panel in
the series and represents the peek of old technology. A significant
rusting and undercutting is taking place at the hole and the edges,
which indicates the difficulty of the system in covering sharp
edges and corners. The scribe lines are undercutting as well.
Like test panel #5 (Rust-oleum® Cold Galvanizing Compound),
the three step Wasser® process utilizes a zinc rich under
coat that provides a degree of galvanic protection, which is what
allows the Wasser® System to do as well as it has done. Keep
in mind that the use of a zinc metal undercoat brings along most
of the problems of a zinc rich primer system, including environmental
issues. |
