Anti-rust coating EVERLAST®C.A.R.O.L: TECHNICAL REPORT 23/08/99 Salt-spray and humidity chamber anti-rust tests gave excellent results for sand-blasted steel coated with FIX-IT and EVERLAST®C.A.R.O.L. No under- rusting was observed due to a strong electropassivation effect. The mechanical and chemical resistance of the EVERLAST®C.A.R.O.L. coating was remarkable ,which means: It can can serve as application as anti-rust primer or single application top -coat only	The Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology and Automation Originally published 1999
Organic-environmental-friendly COATING Anti-rust coatings from six different suppliers were applied to plain carbon steel tanks . The coated tanks were then evaluated by various criteria with regard to their ability to act as replacement of stainless-steel tanks in the food industry. "EVERLAST®C.A.R.O.L" was analysed as being the best-rated coating and it´s use was by far more economic than any of the other five competitors used by the Swiss steel industry.	M. Girardi DIPLOMA THESIS Originally published FACHHOCH- SCHULE Liechtenstein 2001
Rust-primer withstands extreme conditions EVERLAST®C.A.R.O.L sucessfully protected steel equipment exposed to high abrasive wear and to fast flowing humid air saturated with polluting chemicals. Even after two years of these extreme conditions EVERLAST®C.A.R.O.L- coated steel remained flawless. Various other competitive epoxi-and polyurethane coating sytems tried out earlier by this German company to protect their mobile environment-cleaning equipment failed completely after only a few weeks in service.

Maritime Shipowner Protects Cargoholds with EVERLAST®C.A.R.O.L Transporting and goods handling of diluted waste acid usually lead to heavy corrosion of the cargo tanks.When applying conventional protective coatings, the dynamic stress induced by steel wall vibration causes microfissures and premature phyiscal aging. Due to its unique composite structure EVERLAST®C.A.R.O.L easily resists dynamic mechanical stresses and provides superior protection for ship tanks and superstructures. No extensive surface preparation is necessary.EVERLAST®C.A.R.O.L is applied without adhesion problems directly on the corroded steel tank - even when it still has a considerable amount of the old tar coating. Practical experience on diluted waste acid tanks has shown that "easy to apply" EVERLAST®C.A.R.O.L protective coating is an economic and technical advanced method.

EVERLAST®C.A.R.O.L: Heavy Duty Corrosion Testing as per DIN EN ISO 12944 FIX-IT plus EVERLAST®C.A.R.O.L coated plates made from steel and zinc-plated steel were tested as per DIN EN ISO 12944. Part 6 , Severity of corrosion environment C5-I, design protection time "long". Result for all three test sections: Degree of rusting Ri: 0 percent , Coating cracks 0 percent , Peeling 0 percent The excellent anti-rust performance and the the good values in cross-cut testing, adhesion strenght and zero degree of blistering prove one-coat EVERLAST®C.A.R.O.L to be fit for all aspects of heavy duty corrosion protection. In many areas of application EVERLAST®C.A.R.O.L is able to replace the failure-prone and time-consuming multiple layer anti-corrosion coatings.
