Permanent Painted Coatings (PPC) is a company that specialises in rust conversion and preventative paints. They are experts in rust prevention, repair, corrosion and general restoration in the building, motor, marine and industrial areas. POR-15 Rust Preventative Paint is cornerstone of the business because it is a product that works. PPC imports directly from the USA where it has been used for over 30 years.
What is POR-15? POR-15 is a high-tech, high performance rust preventative coating designed for application directly on rusted or seasoned metal surfaces. It dries to a rock-hard, non-porous finish that won’t chip, crack or peel and it prevents rust from recurring by protecting metal from further exposure to moisture. Perfect to use on any metal.
MARINE-CLEAN™ cleans and degreases in one application without leaving residues, noxious fumes or flammable solvents.
METAL-READY™ provides the best adhesion for POR-15® on any surface, including aluminum and shiny polished metal surfaces.
POR-15® is a rust-preventive coating designed for application directly on rusted or seasoned metal surfaces.
A Complete System. POR-15 products are designed to work as a complete system. When used together these products provide you with a coating that will not only stop rust and corrosion, but will prevent it from returning. The products are available individually and many are available in efficient cost savings kits geared to your specific restoration needs.
What’s the Secret? POR-15 chemically bonds to the rusty surface and sets up a hard coating that is resistant to most chemicals and acids, is totally water proof and loves corroded and porous surfaces like rust, corroded aluminium, sandblasted surfaces, fibreglass and even concrete.
POR-15 Rust Preventive Paint's secret lies in its curing process, unlike ordinary paints POR-15 Rust Preventive Paint cures by drawing moisture from the atmosphere. Other paints cure through the process of solvent evaporation (leaving tiny pores in the paint) that's why you can smell a paint job for weeks. Those same pores allow microscopic amounts of air and moisture to gradually reach the surface of the painted metal and eventually rust. Whilst POR-15 can be sprayed it can be brushed to give a "virtual spray finish" look.
POR-15 Rust Preventative Paint is easy to use, whether for small jobs or large, being single pack and self leveling (no brush marks). In fact use POR-15 on anything you want to protect permanently from rust, corrosion, stone chips or abrasion. POR -15 is not UV stable and will discolour under prolonged sunlight. If exposed, it needs to be a top coated. PPC have a range of very tough Top Coats.
Everyone who uses POR-15 are amazed with the results. Car chassis, engines, callipers, suspension, gearboxes, winches, battery casings, exhausts, keels, fuel tanks are just a few of the places you can use POR-15.
