Rust Converter

Innovative Coating Industries offers a Rust Converter, Rustofix 1103. This is one of the novel innovations incorporating the latest technology in the field of corrosion prevention and protection of metals, and can be used as a primer for rusted surfaces. Rustofix 1103 is most ideally suited for the pre-treatment of rusted ferrous components. It requires very little surface preparation, it is very easy to work with and it is non-toxic. It touch-dries in 15 minutes and hard dries in 24 hours. Rustofix 1103 reacts with the loose and adherent rust on the metal surface and converts the rust into a black, inert and adherent organo-metallic coating. This rust converted black coating works as an excellent primer for any painting system, and will have good adhesion with any type of paints/varnishes, etc. Method of application: can be used on rusted as well as clean metal surfaces, by brushing/swabbing or spraying. Due to the formation of inert coating, further rusting is totally stopped. Lose rust and scales may be removed by means of a wire brush and the surface wiped with a dry cloth. Apply Rustofix 1103 liberally on the cleaned and surface by brushing/swabbing. Allow the solvent to dry. The surface will become touch dry within 15-30 minutes. Coating may be done if necessary after 24 hours. After drying the surface becomes bluish black. After the surface is completely dried, wipe with a dry cloth to remove loose particles. Apply any suitable paint on the substrate. Advantages: Rustofix 1103 is an ideal replacement for conventional and time consuming 3-in-1 chemicals, pickling and phosphating processes, etc., wherever, due to place and process constraints, phosphating/acid cleaning/sand and grit blasting/and other processes of metal pre-treatment are nor feasible; it very easy to handle, entire pre-cleaning cost is reduced, requires unskilled labour and process is very economical; it is totally bio-degradable , eco-friendly and does not need any effluent treatment; and offers excellent corrosion prevention.
