What is fire Protective paint?
Tuesday, 04 May 2021
Fire retardant Paints are usually made of organic material and are several microns thick. Expandable fireproof paint coating Despite its very small initial thickness, in case of fire and heat, by expanding and creating a layer much thicker than the original thickness, they protect their bottom surface against fire and heat. Expandable fire-retardant paint coatings

What is Anti-Rust Paint
Monday, 19 April 2021
Rust is the most common result of corrosion in metals and refers to the corrosion of iron and its alloys, such as steel. Over time, with the presence of oxygen and water, the hard structures of iron completely disintegrate. As the metal surface disappears and turns into rust, new metal is exposed, the cycle repeats,
