Uebrigens geht die ROK Technologie zürück in die 80 er Jahre und ist voll patentiert.
ROK Face Development
The basis of RPS primer coating starts with a base product that dates back to the late 1980s, which was fully developed and optimized in the early 1990s. This primer coating stops the chemical reaction known as rust by penetrating several thousandths of an inch into the metal's surface..
RPS significantly optimized and enhanced this extremely rugged and proven base primer coating using nano-based, state-of-the-art proprietary technology.
Specifically formulated in RPS’s labs to withstand extreme corrosives such as hydrofluoric acid in order to meet offshore petro-chemical requirements, ROK Face coats each micro-fissure in the metal with nano-particles, preventing hydrogen and oxygen molecules from invading the metal.
Preliminary tests have also been done in parallel by subjecting RPS’s ROK Face with exposure to 48-percent hydrofluoric acid at elevated temperatures over a one-month test. The testing so far indicates that there is no apparent swelling or degradation to ROK Face's secondary coating.
We are conducting further tests to meet infrastructure anti-corrosion requirements found in ASTM D-01, ASTM D-33, ASTM D2510, and NTPET (National Transportation Product Evaluation Program).
ROK Face HF/HCI Immersion Tests
Two ROK Face coated panels were supplied for immersion testing in an aqueous solution of 5 percent HF and 12 percent HCl by volume for 3 hours at room temperature. The panels were fully immersed with a minimum solution of 5mL/cm2 of surface area. An as-received photograph of the panels is provided as Figure 1.
Following immersion, the panels were examined visually. No obvious visual indications of blistering were noted to ROK Face coating. A photograph of the panels after immersion is provided as Figure 2.
Und zu guter Letzt:
Looking Forward
RPS is working with ASTM, NACE and the U.S. Coast Guard to begin additional tests needed for ROK Face to meet service requirements as required by various industries. |
