Paints and coatings applied to a Hydrate-80 treated surface demonstrate amazing improvements in long-term performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHydrate-80 provides a superior stable barrier to prevent further attack. The cross-linking polymer formulated to provide the tough non-rubbery barrier tenaciously grips the metal surface forming an ideal base for further coatings, paints or anticorrosion wax.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImportantly for long-term protection Hydrate-80 doesn’t contain chlorine which is known to transform into corrosive hydrochloric acid in rust converter applications causing under-film blistering and destruction of paint finishes or other coating products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLong-Term Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe long-term performance of Hydrate-80 has been proven to significantly increase coating life in independent tests conducted by the German TÜV organisation under conditions of VDA 621-415 (6 cycles, or 1008 hrs) which included exposure to hot salt-spray, 100% relative humidity and drying atmospheres with each cycle lasting 168 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHydrate-80 was awarded Practical Classics magazine “Best Buy” and “Product Recommended” after a long-term trial comparing it to 12 other products – in fact Hydrate-80 was applied to more heavily corroded steel than the competition and still outperformed them. Hydrate-80 has been used to arrest and prevent corrosion in diverse applications – from massive marine installations to classic and historic vehicle restoration Hydrate-80 provides dependable long-term protection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crystal Clear Details","offers":[{"title":"1 litre","offer_id":58460727279947,"sku":null,"price":34.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1013\/6191\/0091\/files\/hydrate-80_700x700_f3850ad2-adc9-415d-9a4b-fe14268f0197.jpg?v=1789308119","url":"https:\/\/crystalcleardetails.co.uk\/products\/bilt-hamber-hydrate-80","provider":"Crystal Clear Details","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
