T&I ABSOLUTE SHIELD
World’s first true glass membrane that stops rust and degradation.
MLIT-certified and patent-backed. A new level of protection beyond conventional “glass coatings.”
Product Overview (Key Benefits)
A next-generation coating that forms a true glass membrane on metal surfaces. It blocks corrosion and degradation even under UV, salt and acid rain, reducing maintenance while protecting assets for the long term.
- True glass film: Forms a dense protective layer that suppresses corrosion progression.
- MLIT-certified × Patent-backed materials.
- Extreme salt resistance: Endured spray at 8× seawater concentration (lab test).
- UV durability: Designed to withstand high-energy exposure (in-house test).
- Long life: 20+ years in in-house evaluation (varies by environment).
- Low maintenance: Easier cleaning; significantly longer repaint cycles.
* Usable on: metals, painted surfaces, and some plastics (substrate-dependent; pretreatment and/or a primer may be required). / Not usable on: high-temperature parts and flexible materials with large thermal expansion.
Protect Valuable Assets with the Strongest Glass Membrane for Metals
* Verified: submerged in 8× seawater concentration for 4 months.
T&I ABSOLUTE SHIELD is a true glass coating with MLIT certification and patent-backed materials. The treated surface is protected by a dense glass membrane that prevents corrosion penetration. The difference versus an untreated area is obvious. Experience the industry-leading protection.
Test Results
Demonstration Data
Immediately after application
Left to right: T&I ABSOLUTE SHIELD / other brands (D/T/M) / uncoated.
After 30 days in 8× seawater
Under extreme conditions, the T&I-coated area remained intact; other brands and uncoated areas showed heavy rust.
Even in 8× seawater concentration, T&I ABSOLUTE SHIELD kept corrosion progression practically at zero by forming a true glass membrane.
Technology & Reliability (Patents / Certifications)
Why it’s so strong: T&I ABSOLUTE SHIELD forms a dense glass membrane chemically bonded to the substrate. It protects metal surfaces for the long term even under UV, salt, and acid rain.
Technical Highlights
- Glass membrane formation: A chemically bonded, dense glass layer that suppresses rust and corrosion progression.
- Weather & chemical resistance: Blocks UV and moisture ingress, slowing surface degradation.
- High adhesion: Works on steel, stainless, and coated surfaces (primer may be required depending on substrate).
Proof of Reliability
- MLIT certification: Public-agency approval ensures traceable credibility.
- Third-party & in-house long-term tests: Salt spray, UV, hardness/impact, etc.
- Evidence photos & video: Results from 8× seawater for 30 days and other long-term exposures.

Application (Overview)
- Surface check & cleaning: Inspect rust, dirt, and old coatings; remove appropriately.
- Degreasing & drying: Remove oils and moisture; prepare a dry surface.
- Masking: Protect adjacent parts and non-coated areas as needed.
- Application by roller / sponge: No spray / no brush. Replace the sponge when it starts to harden.
- Curing: Initial → full cure depends on temperature, humidity, and ventilation.
- Final inspection & handover: Check appearance, film thickness, and adhesion; hand over with a completion report.
* Depending on the substrate and environment, additional pretreatment and/or a primer may be required.
For bare timber, please see the Wood Version details.

FAQ
Q. What materials can / can’t it be applied to?
* Depending on substrate and surface condition, pretreatment and/or primer may be required.
Not recommended examples: soft rubbers or plastics with lots of plasticizer, parts that are continuously high-temperature, potable-water piping, or food-direct contact surfaces.
Q. How long does it last?
Actual life varies with conditions. In coastal / heavy-salt environments we recommend annual inspections and touch-ups as needed.
* The above is a guideline from internal accelerated tests, not a warranty period.
Q. Can I apply it over rust?
Q. Will it change the appearance?
* Scratches or unevenness on the base will remain visible - surface preparation is important.
Q. Can it be over-painted or recoated later?
Q. Application conditions (temperature / humidity / curing)?
* Follow the work instruction; values vary with site conditions.
Q. What’s the maintenance method?
Basically maintenance-free. Most dirt comes off with water only. If needed, use:
- Pressure washer (keep a safe distance; use a fan nozzle)
- Soft cloth / sponge for wiping
- Neutral detergent as needed
・The film is a glass layer around Mohs 6.5-7. Lightly abrasive cleaners are usually fine, but for gloss retention we recommend non-abrasive cleaners. Avoid steel wool / coarse pads / heavy rubbing compounds.
・Per JIS-based solvent resistance tests, we confirmed no abnormalities. If using strong acid/alkali cleaners, dilute per label, keep short contact, and rinse thoroughly with water.
・Avoid dry-wiping dust/sand; first rinse with water, then wipe.
Q. Can I spray it?
No spray or brush. The material can cure and glassify inside the nozzle/brush, causing clogging or sticking.
Recommended tools: roller or sponge. * Replace the sponge once it gradually hardens during use.
* Detailed conditions (application rate, dilution, tools) follow the work manual.

- Outdoor ready: Resists UV, rain and salt-laden environments.
Which version to use (Metal vs. Wood)
- This section is the “Wood Version” (different product). Do not mix with the metal version.
- Painted / varnished wood (paint / varnish / clear coat): use the standard T&I ABSOLUTE SHIELD (metal version).
- Bare timber (unpainted): use this “Wood Version.”
Application Notes
- Primer: required. For bare timber, apply the dedicated wood primer first, let it dry, then apply the main coat.
* Primer amount / drying time vary by species, moisture content and temperature. - Surface finish: Planed / smoothed (recommended) - reduces absorption so less primer / main coat is needed.
* Rough surfaces expose more pores → higher absorption → larger required amounts. - Tools: Roller / sponge only (No spray / no brush: internal hardening & glassification may clog or seize). Replace the sponge as it hardens.
- Substrate prep: Remove grey/tannin stains and dirt; degrease & dry. End-grain and highly absorbent areas may require multiple coats.
