Monoguard has excellent colour retention and corrosion resistance for metal cladding,  structural steelwork and steel equipment without the need for abrasive blast cleaning. It is non flammable, suitable for interior and exterior use and has low odour so can be applied during normal operations or in hygiene sensitive hospitals, schools and public buildings.

Monoguard is an ideal high performance system for steel where abrasive blast cleaning is not practical or economically viable. It is an alternative to a three coat zinc rich primer, high build epoxy and polyurethane system. Applied to a dry film thickness over 200 microns it is recommended for highly corrosive C5-M Marine and C4 Industrial environments. Recommended for bridge painting and maintenance in petrochemical and gas facilities, was specified as a high performance system for the maintenance of the 8km Oresund Bridge linking Denmark to Sweden.

Monoguard is fast drying, touch dry in an hour and overcoatable in two hours. Up to three coats can be applied in a single day enabling high productivity for steel fabricators and reduced site costs when maintaining existing facilities. It is environmentally compliant with low VOCs and low odour, ideal for hygiene sensitive locations such as hospitals, schools and public buildings. It can be applied alongside normal business operations with the minimum disruption.

It can be applied by Airless spray, brush or roller on steel, CorTen steel, cast iron, aluminium, stainless and galvanised steel. A single coat is recommended over weathered galvanised steel and previously painted surfaces. Two coats are recommended for long term corrosion protection on steel in C5M environments (1400hrs salt spray ASTM). It can be applied up to 100 microns in a single coat by airless spray, two coats may be required to achieve the recommended DFT by brush or roller. It is resistant to continuous temperatures of up to 80°C

Monoguard  is recommended for offshore environments, tankfarms, petrochemical and chemical facilities, structural steel, metal cladding in coastal locations and  construction equipment. It is available in an extensive range of RAL Classic and NCS colours in a semigloss finish (70%) for free  delivery throughout the UK in 5lt and 20lt packs. Where a matt exterior grade finish is required it can be overcoated with Hydrograff HP two pack polyurethane finish. On rusty steel Elastometal may be used as a primer followed by one coat of Monoguard.
