Corrosion protection for site equipment GT VG Max - Guard Industry

Corrosion protection for metal surfaces and equipment kept or transported in harsh conditions. Once dry it forms a film with a water-beading effect. The manufacturer states a plant-derived base: maize, beet and tree resin.

GT VG Max does not clean - it protects. Once dry it forms a film with a water-beading effect on metal, intended for the time equipment spends in storage or in transit in harsh surroundings.

The manufacturer states plant-derived raw materials - maize, beet and tree resin - as an alternative to fossil-derived ones. The product suits bare and finished metals, indoors and out.

The right moment to use it is the end of a season or preparation for despatch, not everyday work.

Equipment is cleaned differently from a surface: the deposit is thicker, and the substrate - metal, rubber, lacquer, seals - is often more sensitive than concrete.

  • Check material compatibility in the technical data. Manufacturers state plainly what the product does not attack.
  • Work on fresh or softened deposits. A product applied at the end of a shift works overnight and the deposit washes off in the morning.
  • Do not let the product dry on the part being cleaned.
  • Rinse thoroughly and dry metal parts before putting equipment away for any length of time.

Manufacturers describe the products in this category as not classified as corrosive, or as irritant only - which does not remove the need for gloves and eye protection.

Can I use these products on block paving?

Do not assume so. They are formulated for metal and equipment, not for absorbent mineral substrates. For surfaces, use the products in "Cleaning and restoration".

What is the difference between a preventive and a cleaning product?

When you use it. A preventive product goes on before the soiling, or right after work, so the deposit never bonds. A cleaning product dissolves a deposit that has already stuck. Some products do both - where that is the case, the technical data says so.

Does the product need neutralising after rinsing?

It depends on the product. Where the manufacturer states that no neutralisation is needed, we have it in the technical data. Where there is no such statement, we do not assume one on the manufacturer's behalf.

Does the film have to be removed afterwards?

The data sheet describes no removal procedure, so we do not give one. For parts that need a clean surface before assembly, settle this with the manufacturer before treating a batch.

Is it suitable for equipment stored outdoors?

Yes - the manufacturer lists metals stored indoors and outdoors.

The technical sheet and safety data sheet will be available after approval.
