Navimare ROX Rust Converter
RUST CONVERTER converts the rust formed from the oxidation of steel and iron into a paintable anti-corrosion layer. The cured coating is impermeable, tough and durable, preventing further corrosion. When dry, the dark grey coating acts as an effective primer for coloured top-coat application.
FEATURES
- No need for sand blasting
- Totally free of lead and chromates
- No chlorinated solvents
- Can be finished with Galva Colour as top coat
- Water based
- Fast acting: results visible in <5 minutes
- Cured coating is an excellent anti-corrosion barrier
APPLICATIONS
Suitable for use throughout the industry on:
- Mechanical handling equipment
- Rolling stock
- Agricultural equipment
- Steel construction
- Ship repair
- Surface treatment
- Corrosion protection of all ferrous materials
Rust Converter acts in three ways:
- Inactivates existing rust: The unstable ferric hydroxide, formed at the start of the corrosion process of iron, is transformed into an inert complex, halting the corrosion process immediately.
- Formation of a passivating protective coating: The formed complexes combine with the unique resin in Rust Converter creating a non-permeable coating, providing anti-corrosion protection.
- Function as a primer: The cured dark grey, protective coating has an ideal structure and composition to act as a primer for future cosmetic over-painting.
DIRECTIONS
- Stir or mix product before use
- Stir frequently during application
- Use only with adequate ventilation
- Apply an even coat with a standard paint brush within a temperature range of 15 to 25°C (dispose of brush, do not re-use)
- Allow Rust Converter to work — results will be visible in >5 minutes
- Rust conversion at room temperature is approximately 30 minutes
- Rust Converter will cure to a dry, dark grey finish — time dependent on application and rust
- Leave for 24 hours before over-painting
