Krud Kutter® Rustex Rust Converter

1 of 1 products in this brand
Krud Kutter® Rustex Rust Converter is a rust inhibiting coating which converts rusted metal overnight into a rust retarding, paintable surface. When applied to rusted surfaces, iron oxide (rust) is chemically changed to iron phosphate, an inert, hard substance that turns the metal black. This increases the paint adhesion, and durability of the coating.

DIRECTIONS-RUSTED & OLD METAL

  • Remove loose paint and heavy rust with a wire brush. Light rust need not be removed.
  • Apply directly to metal by brush, roller, mop, or low-pressure sprayer. Heavy rust may need two applications.
  • Wait overnight after application, dust off any loose powder, and apply undercoat primer and paint.
  • Test small area for compatibility when using epoxy or latex paint.

DIRECTIONS-GALVANIZED

  • Apply one coat, and let stand for 30-60 minutes or until metal is etched.
  • Flush with water, avoiding damage to adjacent areas; or wipe to a smooth finish, let dry, and paint. Follow paint manufacturers instructions for undercoats and topcoats.
  • Where rust is present apply one coat of Rustex to prep and etch the metal. Leave overnight, or until completely dry. Brush off any loose powder before painting.
