Cut Edge Corrosion

We know Cut Edge Corrosion can often be attributed to the collection of pollution and salt laden moisture being trapped at the edges of sheets of cladding. When the cut edges of the coated cladding are exposed to the elements for long periods of time, delamination may occur in the form of peel-back of the factory coating. If the cut edge corrosion is not addressed quickly it will eat into the metal sheeting causing leaks into the building. Cut edge corrosion is a progressive problem, if neglected it can develop away from the cut edge, it will destroy the weather-sealed lap joint and gutter over hang.

This problem can considerably affect the value of the building and lead to high maintenance costs. Early detection and effective treatment will prevent costly sheet replacement. SEAMSIL is a cost effective and reliable cure for Cut Edge Corrosion and Overlap Corrosion. SEAMSIL is applied to encapsulate the edge and fully seal the lap. The SEAMSIL system is fully guaranteed against failure and the re-appearance of the corrosion problem.
