Description
RUST-CONVERTER is a thin, liquid metal treatment compound which, when applied to rusted metal, chemically changes the rust (iron oxide) into iron phosphate.
Therefore moisture and oxygen do not attack the metal. The surface produced is an inert, hard and grayish surface which will serve as a firm base for paint.
RUST-CONVERTER is a metal primer not a paint. One gallon of the product covers approximately 600 square feet.
No mixing is necessary because RUST-CONVERTER is furnished in the proper strength for use.
RUST-CONVERTER can also be used on new ferrous metal, aluminum and galvanized iron. It produces a toothed, slightly porous surface to which paint will grip and cling, forming a tight, lasting bond.
Usage
- On Rusted Surfaces: Remove loose rust or scale. Apply by brush, dip, spray or swab and let it dry overnight then paint. A powdery grayish surface usually develops, indicating that it has reacted with the metal. Now moisture cannot penetrate to metal. Brush off any loose powder, apply primer and then finish coat.
- On New Metals: Pre-clean by removing excess oil or grease with mineral solvent or with our product, LECTROKLEEN. Apply RUST- CONVERTER by brush, dip, spray or swab. Let it dry overnight, brush off any loose powder and the surface is ready for painting.
Applicable Use
RUST-CONVERTER converts rust on anything made of ferrous metals. Use it on vehicle parts, railroad cars, stockpiled castings, downspouts, stacks, tanks, building, fences, steel windows, girders, roofs, plates, pipe fittings, etc.
