Over the years, Fluoramics has grown its product lines, including HinderRUST, a leading solution in rust prevention. With 11 variations of HinderRUST now available, selecting the right one for your needs can be challenging. This guide revisits the technology behind HinderRUST and highlights the four core products: HinderRUST R2.0, S4.0, HV100, and HV500-Blk.
What is HinderRUST?
HinderRUST is a surface-active rust stopper designed using Fluoramics’ proprietary Tufoil Technology. This innovative formula not only stops rust but also lubricates and protects metal surfaces. The Tufoil component acts as a wetting agent, allowing HinderRUST to spread across the surface, displace water, and bond securely to the metal. This creates a protective barrier that guards against corrosion caused by air, salt, and moisture.
Key Benefits of HinderRUST
- Deep Penetration: HinderRUST reaches into braided wires and other hard-to-access areas, ensuring thorough rust prevention.
- Self-Repairing: The formula remains mobile, automatically covering any new scratches, nicks, or dents.
- High Dielectric Strength: HinderRUST has a high dielectric strength and will not conduct electricity.
- Non-Toxic: It is solvent-free, non-hazardous, and non-flammable.
One of the standout features of HinderRUST is its ability to bond to metal at the molecular level through a process called adsorption. This feature keeps the product from washing away, providing long-lasting protection even in harsh conditions. You don’t need to prepare the surface before applying, but removing large flakes of rust is recommended. HinderRUST can be applied on various metals, including aluminum, copper, stainless steel, and galvanized surfaces.
The Four Core HinderRUST Products
1. HinderRUST R2.0: The Temporary Rust Protector
HinderRUST R2.0 was the first in the HinderRUST line, offering temporary rust protection and lubrication. Ideal for metal parts that need protection after fabrication or during storage and transportation, R2.0 is silicone-free and can be easily removed with washing. This makes it perfect for situations where final finishing is required.
2. HinderRUST S4.0: The Lubricating Rust Stopper
HinderRUST S4.0 is a versatile rust stopper that’s tough to remove, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Use it on tools, recreational equipment, wiring, forklifts, agricultural devices, garden art, battery terminals, and more. Its long-lasting protection makes it a go-to choice for both industrial and household uses.
3. HinderRUST HV100: The Long-Term Rust Shield
HinderRUST HV100 is a high-viscosity formula that gradually forms a wax-like coating, offering extreme rust protection even in severe weather conditions. This makes HV100 the most durable version of HinderRUST, ideal for long-term applications where maximum rust prevention is essential.
4. HinderRUST HV500-Blk: Industrial Grade HinderRUST Colored Black to Hide Unsightly Rust
HinderRUST HV500-Blk combines the benefits of HV100 with a rich black color to hide unsightly rust. This version is non-drying and features a UV-resistant black color. This provides a rich, lasting finish while covering existing rust and preventing new corrosion. HV500 is not a paint but a boundary film that offers robust protection against rust.
