Rust Converter
A mineral acid-free rust treatment, formulated to neutralise corrosion on ferrous metals and components which can also act as a primer, ready for overcoating as desired
Description
- Water-based emulsion for treatment of rusty surfaces – non-toxic
- Neutralises corrosion process – leaves a tough insoluble acrylic coating after curing
- Easy to apply by brush, roller or sprayer due to low viscosity – easy to use
- Self-priming – compatible with most paint products
- Minimum surface preparation required – can also be applied to damp surfaces in bad weather
- Hard, water insoluble hydrophobic film – protects surfaces against inclement weather conditions

Application
Anywhere a fine finish is not required after corrosion treatment with Rust Converter.
Examples: automotive, trailers, agriculture, commercial vehicles (e.g. salt sprayers), heavy construction machinery, metal constructions, railings, tank voids including ballast and cargo, bridges, window ledges, oil rigs, steel hull boats and ships, pontoons, hatches – all sectors using metal parts in oxidizing or salty atmospheres or where they have to be protected against rust.
Instructions
- The surface must be free from oil, grease, loose rust and blistered paint deposits. Salt must be removed using a suitable detergent and water.
- Apply by brush, roller or sprayer. Ensure all areas of corrosion are covered. Depending on the condition of the surface, up to 3 coats may be required to ensure complete coverage and conversion (wait at least 1 hour before applying an additional coat).
- When Rust Converter gets into contact with rust, the fluid starts to react forming a blue film as the product converts to a stable, ferrous, organic complex.
- Touch dry after 15 – 45 minutes. Do not allow the coating to get wet while drying. Allow to cure for 24 hours before applying overcoat. An application of a wet film thickness of 50 – 100 micron should cover 10 – 15 sqm per liter of product. Test compatibility before use.
- Clean the brush, roller or sprayer with water after use.
