Metal Corrosion Prevention
Port of San Francisco, California USA
The Challenged:
This newly converted waterfront park would soon be open to the public. Safely preserving the historic maritime structures while containing the leaded surfaces meant halting the corrosion & safely sealing in the existing lead-based paint with an approved coating. Protecting the landmark structures of the crane tower & other celebrated buildings needed a proven solution in order to halt & prevent future metal corrosion & provide long-term protection to defend against harsh weather.

GEI’s R.I.P.™ Rust Inhibiting Primer was applied to halt & prevent future corrosion. Then all the surfaces were sealed with GEI’s Your Last Coat™, a sustainable, renewable, defensive green coating.
