HoldTight® 102

HoldTight 102 is a salt remover and flash rust preventer added to the water used for wet abrasive blasting, vapor abrasive blasting and ultra-high pressure (UHP) water blasting. It lowers the water's surface tension so it penetrates the surface profile and removes salts, abrasives, light oils, greases and blasting by-products such as shattered abrasive and dried paint. It evaporates with the water, leaving no residue, film or conductivity, so large areas can be blasted and cleaned before coating instead of being coated the same day.

Key features

• Removes soluble salts and contaminants; no conductivity left on the surface
• Prevents flash rust for up to 72 hours
• Leaves no residue or film (confirmed by independent gas chromatography testing)
• Best results in both blast and wash-down cycles at a 50 – 100 (water to HoldTight 102) ratio
• Compatible with steel, concrete, fiberglass, aluminum and composites
• Approval letters from Carboline, Jotun and Tnemec

Applications

• Surface preparation of ships, FPSOs, tugboats, offshore platforms, drilling rigs, pipelines, storage tanks and bridges before coating
