Story

A sales consultant from PT Eonchemicals successfully addressed rust issues on the iron structures of buildings at the Lahendong Geothermal Power Plant (PLTP) in North Sulawesi. How did they provide a solution to the customer’s problem? What kind of anti-rust iron coating did they use? Let’s take a look at this success story!

PLTP Lahendong is located in an area with a very high concentration of H2S or hydrogen sulfide. The chemical reactions in this corrosive environment can cause materials, such as building structures made of iron and other metals, to deteriorate or even disintegrate.

Corrosion on iron and other metals can be mitigated with coating. Coating is the process of adding a special layer to the surface of the metal. Its function is to protect the metal from the corrosion process. Therefore, the Eonchemicals sales consultant recommended products in the form of anti-rust iron coatings named EonCoat 551 Primer and EonCoat 570.

EonCoat 551 Primer

• Epoxy primer for the first layer
• Resistant to corrosion
• Quick dry
• Strong and durable adhesion

EonCoat 570, Anti-Rust Iron Coating

• Epoxy top coat system for outdoor areas
• UV resistant
• Colorless or transparent
• Glossy finish

What important steps should be taken before applying the EonCoat 551 Primer and EonCoat 570 anti-rust iron coatings? Surface preparation before applying EonCoat 551 Primer and EonCoat 570 involves cleaning the metal surface from all contaminants, such as oil, dust, dirt, and old coatings.

It is crucial to eliminate rust to prevent it from reappearing after application. Additionally, the metal surface needs to be roughened before application to ensure better adhesion of the coating.

What was the customer’s response after applying EonCoat 551 Primer and EonCoat 570? The unit manager of PLTP Lahendong, as the customer, was very happy and satisfied. The coating application results performed by Eon were truly optimal and excellent in actual performance. Eonchemicals’ coatings have proven to protect the iron structures of buildings from corrosion.
