The steel industry refers to rust as the “Cancer
of Steel.” Rust Bullet®, the new technology rust/corrosion
control product, has come to market to cure this age old disease.
Rust Bullet® will revolutionize industries’ battles against
corrosion with a simple, one step application (two coats), little
or no preparation, low maintenance product that is not a short-term
fix, but actually cures this disease called rust. CC Technologies
conducted research in a cooperative agreement with the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) and NACE International (National Association
of Corrosion Engineers) to provide the public with a corrosion cost
report. According to this report, the direct cost of corrosion in
the United States is $276 billion annually. This was determined
by analyzing 26 industrial sectors in which corrosion is known to
exist. The indirect costs to society are conservatively estimated
to be equal to the direct costs. Evidence of the large indirect
corrosion costs are lost time, and thus lost productivity because
of outages, delays, failures, and litigation. Indirect costs are
often ignored because only the direct costs are paid by the owner/operator.
