Description
Rust Converter Product - 346
Stops Rust and Converts It to an Inert, Protective Coating. Converter is a liquid surface conditioner and primer that converts existing rust into an inert, protective coating that seals out moisture and corrosion to prevent future development. Unlike other products, it is not a simple cleaner or cover-up. The special formula attacks rust at the chemical level, for fast, long-lasting results. Treated surfaces turn matte black, and can be painted with an oil-based paint for even longer protection against new rust.
Protects Against:
• Effects of Weather
• Rain
• Sun
• Salt Spray
Features and Benefits
• Converts rust into a durable, long-lasting, protective coating
• Prepares metal surfaces to readily accept final coats of oil-based paint
• No sandblasting, grinding or etching required
Directions: (Complete directions on product label)
Apply two coats, allowing at least 20 minutes drying time between coats. Allow 48 hours of cure time before applying an oil-based paint.
One gallon will cover 500 square feet of a smooth non-porous surface. Irregular, porous surfaces will require a heavier application rate.
Tannic acid reacts with iron oxide (rust) and chemically converts it to iron tannate, a dark-colored stable material. The overall chemical reaction converts rust into a stable, black protective polymeric coating.
Do not paint with water-based paints.
