Protecting Steel from Corrosion On Site
Exposed steelwork, fixings and tools rust fast on a damp UK site. Left unprotected, surface corrosion spreads, weakens connections, stains finishes and leaves a poor handover. A fast-drying anti-oxidation spray holds it off.
Why steel corrodes on site
Bare and freshly cut steel oxidises as soon as it meets moisture and oxygen — and a building site provides both in abundance. The result is rust staining, seized fixings and corrosion taking hold on connections and exposed members before the build is even watertight.
The solution: an anti-oxidation spray
Anti Oxidation Spray is a fast, rust- and corrosion-resistant coating in a 360° aerosol. Acid- and silicone-free, it lays down a water-resistant protective film on clean, dry metal to hold corrosion at bay — and the 360° valve lets you spray at any angle, into awkward spots and overhead.
Where to use it
- Cut ends and welds on structural steel
- Fixings, brackets and connections
- Tools and plant left on site
- Temporary protection until permanent coatings go on
How to use it
- Clean the surface — dry and free of grease
- Shake well
- Spray evenly from 10–20cm, at any angle
Benefits
- Rust and corrosion resistant
- Water-resistant; acid- and silicone-free
- Sprays at any angle for awkward areas

Is it permanent? It’s ideal for temporary and in-process protection; for a peelable, longer-term film that also resists fire, see Intelligent Protect AC/FR.
