Hartlepool Borough Council recently experienced problems with corrosion of sea front railings which were exhibiting signs of rusting within a few months of applying a coating system. The cause was sea water entering the steelwork at the joints, where corrosion took place. Contractors applied Winn & Coales’ Sylglas Metalfix to seal the joint areas prior to re-applying a protective coating. Sylglas Metalfix is a non-rusting steel-reinforced two-part epoxy putty that mixes to provide fast permanent repairs.
