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.

  • Test small area for compatibility when using epoxy or latex paint.
