Product Spotlight: Blue Steel Primer
A closer look at one of FIS Chemicals' most popular products — an essential rust converter solution for any industries working at sea or in environments in which corrosion is a constant issue.
A widely used product among FIS customers in Oil & Gas, Marine and other industries, Blue Steel Primer is an outstanding rust treatment which effectively converts problematic rust into a stable, protective coating on steel surfaces.
Having long been a supplier of this product to a variety of clients, in 2024 FIS Chemicals acquired the IP, stock and manufacturing rights for Blue Steel Primer — making our business the sole supplier and manufacturer.
"Blue Steel Primer is an excellent product compared to other similar rust converter products I have tried over the last ten years." — Chief Engineer, Offshore Service Company (Norway)
"This product has saved a number of companies hundreds of thousands of pounds when replacing a traditional grit blasting cleaning and three coat system" — Global Energy Company (UK)
Using Blue Steel Primer for Treating Rusted Steel
Blue Steel Primer is a popular rust treatment product in Marine and Oil & Gas — for curing structural steel, vessel hulls and other infrastructure at sea — where timely treatment can help prevent costly repair and replacement work.
Similarly, for automotive fleets and industrial operations in which metalwork is at risk of corrosion, Blue Steel Primer offers a powerful tool for ongoing maintenance programmes — extending asset lifespans, ensuring high HSEQ standards and limiting exposure to risk.
The process of treating rusted steel with Blue Steel Primer couldn't be simpler — and the results speak for themselves. We wanted to give a quick look at how to use the product, so we rolled up our sleeves, rusted up a piece of steel sheeting and prepared the following step-by-step guide. It's imperative that safety equipment such as eye protection and gloves be worn throughout this process, in keeping with normal HSEQ standards.
