OxiX Testimonial from Featherlite Trailer
Manufacturers Featherlite has started using OxiX primer as it
is an excellent corrosion inhibitor and has no VOC’s which reduces
our environmental footprint. Featherlite has found the primer
to be very durable and very effective for eliminating corrosion even
against the new calcium chloride salt brine and other solutions some
states are placing on roads for snow/ice removal. Featherlite trailers have
limited areas that require paint due to their aluminum construction
but we still have recognized considerable savings annually on primer
over a 2 part epoxy primer. The OxiX primer dries clear and
may be used as a stand alone sealer over natural aluminum. It eliminates
the black streaking from oxidation and metal discoloration. It
even performs well over the top of rusted and pitted steel that
comes in for service work.
We remove as much rust as we can off
the surface and then prime.
The primer seals up the corroded metal
with no bleed through to the top coat and the metal deterioration is
stopped.
Most primers allow corrosion to creep
on the back side of the top coat once the surface has been
penetrated creating the bubbling affect under painted surfaces.
OxiX eliminates creep corrosion adding
significant life to our product.

OxiX Adhesion Test Featherlite performs periodic adhesion testing on OxiX primer and other coated surfaces. Paint adhesion testing is often used to determine if the paint or coating will adhere properly to the substrates to which they are applied. Adhesion Testing provides valuable information about the overall bond strength and performance of a coating. Featherlite uses the ASTM D 3359-02 Cross-Cut Test method when testing coating adhesion. This test consists of a right angle lattice pattern or X-cut (contingent on paint thickness) and is the standard used to measure the resistance of paints and coatings to separation from substrates. The pattern is cut into the coating and penetrates through to the substrate. A pressure sensitive tape is applied to the sample and pulled off. Featherlite has tested several samples of steel and aluminum that were coated with OxiX primer. Some samples were contaminated with grease and oils, some were uncontaminated. The metal substrates were cleaned, prepped and coated with OxiX. In almost every application the test received a 5B classification on a B scale. The B scale classification ranges from 0B which has greater than 65% material release to 5B which has 0% material release. When Featherlite performed Cross-Cut testing on metal substrates with OxiX primer covered with a paint top coat, the tests came back equally as impressive. The tests received 5B and 4B classification ratings. I don’t think you can ask for more than that in a coating” George Willis

Ferguson, Stop Animal Urine & Manure From Corroding Aluminum Floors
We used OxiX on our aluminum horse trailer floor. Talk about easy to
install just rolled it on with a paint roller let it dry and put on a
second coat. Dries crystal clear and looks great! We're not any paint
experts either. We are extremely happy with this product it saved us
over $900 from doing the leading bed liner or equivalent and I think it
did a better job! Thanks again to Greg and OxiX for helping us out!
One happy customer!
