Corrosion Removal and Inhibition

Keeping metal surfaces clean and protected is a constant challenge, especially when moisture, salt, and oxygen are present. At Kleen Blast Abrasives & Equipment Warehouse, we provide effective solutions for corrosion removal and long-term protection. Our goal is simple, help you clean metal surfaces thoroughly and keep them rust-free for as long as possible. Whether you’re maintaining ships, pipelines, tanks, or industrial equipment, we have the products and know-how to help you do the job right.

Corrosion happens when metal reacts with oxygen, moisture, or salts, creating rust and surface damage. Left untreated, it weakens the structure and shortens the lifespan of your equipment. This issue is even more aggressive in marine environments where saltwater exposure speeds up the process. After blasting or cleaning, flash rusting can appear within minutes if the surface isn’t protected. That’s why having a proper corrosion control plan is essential — from the cleaning stage all the way to applying a protective coating.

Removing rust, scale, and old coatings is the first step in corrosion control. Kleen Blast provides quality abrasives like garnet, aluminum oxide, crushed glass, and steel grit to clean surfaces quickly and evenly. We also offer wet and dustless blasting systems that minimize dust and contamination — ideal for marine and industrial maintenance. Clean metal gives your coating a stronger bond and longer protection.

After blasting, bare metal can rust almost instantly. Our flash rusting prevention products, including HoldTight® and Chlor*Rid®, stop this reaction by removing salts and contaminants that trigger corrosion. A quick rinse with these solutions keeps the surface clean until coating, giving you more time to finish the job — even in humid or coastal conditions.

Once the surface is clean, applying a corrosion inhibitor helps protect it from moisture and oxygen. These treatments form a thin film that resists rust and oxidation. For marine corrosion protection, inhibitors are especially valuable on ships, docks, and offshore equipment where salt exposure is constant. Using the right inhibitor extends coating life and reduces future maintenance.

Kleen Blast products are widely used in marine, industrial, and construction applications. From shipyards to bridges, our surface preparation and corrosion control solutions are known for their reliability and performance. Each product is tested to meet high safety and environmental standards, providing you with cleaner results without harmful residues.
