Residential and leisure park home rust protection system

We offer a FULL SERVICE treatment of your Park Home

The CAT3 rust protection system is very effective at controlling the progression of rust but it does not alter the appearance of the rusted chassis. In order to beautify the chassis and remove the rusty appearance other treatments will have to be used. Listed below are the treatments available from ParkHomeProtection which will not only improve the appearance of the chassis but also offer alternatives to the CAT3 when it is not appropriate due to power supply issues.

OXYCON INDUSTRIAL GRADE RUST CONVERTOR/PRIMER.

This superb product is based upon tannic acid and co-polymers and is used extensively in the oil and marine environment. It is standard practice for it to be used on oil tankers for maintenance whilst at sea. It is a fully primed finish and is able to accept most paint finishes, however in less demanding environments it can be left uncoated. It is ideal for treating and stabilising existing rust on older park homes. It reduces the work load of the CAT unit and therefore makes the system more efficient.

ZINGA GENUINE COLD GALVANISING SOLUTION.

When people buy galvanised products they assume that they will last forever. This is not the case and the typical galvanised product with a thickness of 80-120 microns can lose up to 8 microns a year in harsh coastal environments. If you bear in mind that the protection reduces as the thickness approaches 20 microns there may be less than 8 years protection if the initial loading is only 80 microns. The Cat system will reduce the rate of Zinc loss but in older park homes reloading with Zinga would prove very beneficial. Zinga can be applied by brush or spray and carries BB A and Landrover approval.

Captain Tolley's Creeping Crack cure

This is an amazingly effective product, so don't be fooled by its silly name, for over 25 years it has proven highly effective at sealing those hard to find leaks in almost any join you can imagine. It is ultra thin and due to its strong capillary action will penetrate deeply into joins, drying to a clear and durable film that is impervious to water. Ideal for treating body joints on park homes. It is very cost effective and efficient.

Chassis treatment using Oxycon

PHP or one of its agents follow a prescribed process to ensure that consistent and effective results are achieved. The treatment of your park home will be as follows:

Wash the chassis using a pressure washer. This removes residual salts which act as an activator to future corrosion attacks. Corrosion cells are more aggressive the stronger the concentration of salts in solution, hence the reason why rust is always worse by the sea. The obvious procedure of washing is often neglected when treating corrosion.
Remove as much loose rust as possible with a strong brush.
The treatment of chassis with the application of Oxycon. This highly effective rust converter/primer stabilises the rust in readiness for painting. However, in less aggressive environments where direct water attach is not present the co-polymer finish is sufficiently durable to be left uncoated. The co-polymer primer will not only protect but also make an excellent surface for over-coating.
Captain tolley's creeping crack cure is excellent at sealing leaks on seams, windows, doors etc. It was designed and used on boats initially to cure those difficult to find deck leaks etc. This makes the product ideal for prophylactic treatment of the seams joints on Park home as it will penetrate deeply into unsealed areas and form a flexible sealed joint. It will not replace mastic or silicon sealants for larger gaps but for those crack like faults it is ideal. The system requires that all corner, door and window joints are offered the solution and only those where a fault is present will it be absorbed.
It is also advised that ventilation is encouraged in the space under the Park home. These are often totally enclosed by ply wood or similar and can cause a humid atmosphere to develop, which will often accelerate corrosion.

The CAT3 Electronic Rust Protection system carries a three year replacement warranty. The Oxycon coating has a long effective life, the duration of which is dependant upon the location and environment. However, when the CAT3 unit is used in conjunction with the Oxycon the combined system improves in performance. The workload of the CAT3 unit decreased and the durability of the Oxycon is improved.
