Rostban

Rostban is a generic term used in corrosion protection to denote rust-preventive products designed to slow or stop oxidation of ferrous metals. The category includes protective coatings, inhibitors, and surface treatments applied to metal to create barriers against moisture, oxygen, and salts.

Formulations vary: inorganic primers such as zinc phosphate-based systems, organic coatings, and hybrid formulations. Some Rostban products function as rust converters that transform rust into a stable layer, while others provide a continuous film that reduces water and ion ingress. Application can be solvent- or water-based, with curing or drying steps.

Industries include automotive, machinery, construction, maritime, and general metal fabrication. Methods include brushing, spraying, or dipping cleaned parts, followed by specified cure times and optional topcoats. Recoat windows and surface prep influence effectiveness.

Safety and environment: Users should follow handling guidelines for solvents and chemicals, use PPE, ensure ventilation, and dispose of waste per regulations. Many Rostban products emphasize low VOC content and reduced environmental impact.
