Metal Shield

Return Policy

Rust Prevention Coating and Anti-Corrosion Metal Protection

  • Rust Prevention Coating - Stops corrosion, oxidation and galvanic deterioration on all metal substrates
  • Clear Rust Inhibitor - Maintains natural metal appearance without film buildup or discoloration
  • Extreme Temperature Protection - Operational range -200°F to +350°F for demanding environments
  • Anti-Corrosion Defense - Resists salt spray, acid rain, UV degradation and moisture penetration
  • 5-Year Limited Manufacturers Warranty

Overview

Corrosion costs U.S. industries over $276 billion annually - and unprotected structural steel in coastal or industrial environments can lose 10% of its cross-sectional strength within five years. Metal Shield eliminates this liability with a nano-coating barrier that prevents rust, salt spray damage, and galvanic corrosion before it starts.

The clear formula preserves the appearance of architectural metalwork and structural steel while exceeding SSPC-SP6 commercial blast surface preparation standards for long-term adhesion.

Lab-Tested Performance Data

  • Adhesion Strength: 2,600 PSI (SSPC-SP6 blasted carbon steel)
  • Solvent Resistance: 1,000 MEK double rubs, no effect (ASTM D5402)
  • UV Stability: < 0.5 dE color shift after 1,000 hours (ASTM G154)
  • Shore D Hardness: 72 (ASTM D2240)
  • Salt Spray Resistance: exceeds 1,000 hours (ASTM B117)
  • Acid Resistance: 87% sulfuric acid - 5,000+ hours (ASTM D1308)

Environmental and Compliance Standards

  • Temperature Range: -200°F to +350°F (LNG processing to exhaust systems)
  • Corrosion Defense: salt fog, industrial SO₂ exposure, galvanic cell prevention
  • Compatible Substrates: A36 steel, 6061 aluminum, copper alloys, 304/316 stainless

Recommended Applications

Marine and Coastal: ABYC-compliant vessel components, dock structures in ASTM B117 salt spray zones, and offshore platform equipment.

Infrastructure: DOT bridge steel requiring SSPC coating systems, transmission towers, and structural steel in EPA Corrosivity Class C4/C5 environments.

Industrial Equipment: ASME pressure vessels, API 650 storage tanks, heavy equipment, and HVAC rooftop units exposed to acid rain or coastal salt air.

FAQ

FlameOFF® Metal Shield is a single-component solvent system, meaning it does not require mixing two parts like traditional epoxies, allowing for faster application. Unlike most epoxies, which are not UV stable and can yellow or degrade in sunlight, Metal Shield is UV stable and performs well outdoors. Additionally, it creates a covalent bond with the substrate for superior adhesion.

Yes, it is a high-gloss clear coating.

Yes, the product is UV stable and performs well both indoors and outdoors. Accelerated UV testing (ASTM G154, 1000 hours) shows minimal change (dE < 0.5).

Durability depends on usage and exposure (coastal/inland, chemicals, salt, abrasion). It comes with a 5-year warranty under recommended applications, but will perform longer under many conditions.

Yes. The coating can help revive faded pigment and improve the surface appearance.

No. Due to its solvent base, it may not work well with 1K paints like alkyds, latex, and acrylics (potential for hairline cracks). Always conduct a compatibility test first.

Yes, it can be used as a protective topcoat over industrial 2K paints and epoxy paints. This can help reduce the amount of expensive epoxy needed while providing a high-gloss, chemical-resistant finish. Always perform a small test in a discrete area to ensure an acceptable finish before widespread application.

Absolutely. It creates a non-permeable barrier that shields against moisture intrusion to prevent rust.

No, it is not recommended for car body paint as it requires professional application and is difficult to remove. However, it is excellent for protecting undercarriages and frames in salt-corrosive areas.

Yes, it is highly chemical resistant. It can withstand petrochemicals and strong acids, including 87% sulfuric acid for 5,000 hours without change.

Apply to a clean, dry surface using a commercial-grade HVLP (1.0–1.3 tip) or airless sprayer (.111, .211, .311 tip). It can also be applied via brush, roller, or dipping.

The product provides approximately 50% more coverage than traditional epoxy systems. The theoretical coverage is 640-800 sq. ft. per gallon, offering durability comparable to 95% of epoxies on the market at a competitive price point.
