Controlling Tea Staining Corrosion
with Nyclean



FAA Radar Site - Maui, Hawaii — load bank panel and power panel subsequent
to Nyclean application to remove extensive tea staining.


FAA officials contacted Nycote Laboratories for assistance to control extensive corrosion complications at their radar site in Kahului, Maui. Because of the extremely harsh environment: salt spray from the ocean, smoke and ash from burning sugar cane fields, farming activities (wind borne red dust), chemical spraying of crops and high winds, the radar facility was under constant barrage and there was rampant tea staining throughout the 18 exterior electrical panels and 5 building doors. Due to the sensitive nature of the radar equipment, it was critical that the electrical systems not fail.

Nycote officials arrived at the facility to assess the extent of the corrosion and tea staining and determine the best approach to tackle the situation.

1.

In order to clean the corrosion off the stainless steel, Nycote’s Thinner I was applied using a textured cloth. In areas of extensive corrosion, a drill motor and a soft wire brush in conjunction with the Thinner I was employed.

2. Following the cleaning process, Nyclean was then applied with a soft cloth to aid in the adhesion process of Nycote 7-11 coating. Drying time was approximately 30 minutes.

3. The first coat of Nycote 7-11 was applied using a quality brush.

4. After a 72 hour curing period, a second coat of Nycote 7-11 was administered.

The Nycote products continue to protect and maintain the stainless steel of the radar site. After one year there is still no corrosion or tea staining damage.
