The steel industry refers to rust as the “Cancer
of Steel.” Rust Bullet®, the new technology rust/corrosion
control product, has come to market to cure this age old disease.
Rust Bullet® will revolutionize industries’ battles
against corrosion with a simple, one step application (two coats),
little or no preparation, low maintenance product that is not
a short-term fix, but actually cures this disease called rust.
CC Technologies conducted research in a cooperative agreement
with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and NACE International
(National Association of Corrosion Engineers) to provide the public
with a corrosion cost report. According to this report, the direct
cost of corrosion in the United States is $276 billion annually.
This was determined by analyzing 26 industrial sectors in which
corrosion is known to exist. The indirect costs to society are
conservatively estimated to be equal to the direct costs. Evidence
of the large indirect corrosion costs are lost time, and thus
lost productivity because of outages, delays, failures, and litigation.
Indirect costs are often ignored because only the direct costs
are paid by the owner/operator.
