LAS VEGAS — BAN-ZI North America LLC is set to introduce Sabi Killer PRO in the U.S. market following eight successful years in use abroad. BAN-ZI’s water-based, rust conversion coating was developed and is manufactured in Japan, where it satisfies strict environmental regulations. BAN-ZI North America reports that it exceeds all performance expectations, especially compared to its solvent-based competitors.
Along with its minimal surface preparation, the paint impedes the production of rust from the root to prevent it from spreading. Performance testing of the coating at Elite Metal Finishing LLC, a NADCAP-accredited shop in Southern California, has been going on since June 11, 2021. It has currently exceeded over 7,500 hours in the Salt Spray Test (ASTM B117) and is still under observation.
