F.A.Q.

Is BROMOCO's Corten solution environmentally friendly?

Yes, BROMOCO actively engages in projects that reduce the environmental footprint of products and processes. Our protective coatings for Corten steel are designed to minimize maintenance and replacements, reducing waste and promoting sustainable building practices.

Why should I avoid using varnish and lacquer on Corten steel?

Varnish and lacquer fail to provide uniform coverage and durable protection for Corten steel. They can erode quickly, leaving the steel exposed to further weathering and requiring frequent maintenance. BROMOCO's protective solutions offer superior, long-lasting protection.

How often will I need to reapply BROMOCO's protective coating?

BROMOCO's protective coatings come with a 5-year warranty, but they have been proven to provide effective protection for over 10 years. This reduces the need for frequent maintenance and reapplication, saving time and resources.

How does BROMOCO's CT-7571 coating handle the steel's thermal expansion and contraction?

The film formed by CT-7571 is highly flexible and can accommodate the thermal expansion and contraction of Corten steel, preventing cracks and maintaining the integrity of the protective coating over time.

Can BROMOCO's protective coating be applied to already weathered Corten steel?

Yes, BROMOCO's CT-7571 coating is designed to be applied after Corten steel has reached its desired level of weathering. This ensures that the steel's aesthetic is preserved while providing a durable protective layer to prevent further erosion.

What kind of weather conditions can BROMOCO's coating withstand?

BROMOCO's protective coating is highly resistant to harsh weather conditions, including acid rain, salt spray, graffiti, bird droppings, and UV radiation. It is specifically designed to perform well in inclement weather, such as that found in the UK.

How does BROMOCO's solution affect the appearance of Corten steel?

BROMOCO's CT-7571 coating preserves the natural, weathered appearance of Corten steel while providing a clear, protective layer. This ensures the aesthetic appeal of the steel is maintained without compromising on protection.

Can BROMOCO's coating be reapplied if necessary?

Yes, BROMOCO's CT-7571 coating can be reapplied if necessary. The process is straightforward and involves using specialized cleaning agents that do not harm the finish, ensuring that the coating can be effectively renewed without extensive preparation.

How does BROMOCO support clients during the project?

BROMOCO prides itself on being a strategic partner, offering customized solutions and ongoing support. We maintain open communication with our clients, providing guidance and assistance throughout the project to ensure the best possible results.
