- Properties
- Limited surface preparation: Provides full rust passivation on adequate surfaces (CSt2-DSt2 standards). Allows to save on costly additional mechanical surface preparation. Can be applied on humid surfaces.
- Reactive and efficient High reactivity: penetrates into steel surfaces Visible reaction; surface turns blue-black Only one coat without excess High coverage (20m²/liter) No need to rinse off the surface after reaction.
- Increases paints durability: Coatable after 3 hours Adhesion promoter for subsequent coatings. No brush marks (thin and homogeneous coat). Compatible with most solventbased metal protective paints.
- Safe to use: Water based – Zero VOC - Low environmental impact Phosphoric acid free Not irritant nor corrosive Long shelf-life 40 years experience.
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Indications for use
Surface preparation: Apply on a rusted surface which is clean. Remove oil and grease before brushing. Loose rust and mill scale are removed by metallic brush, abrasive disk or paper. This surface corresponds with CSt2-DSt2 standards for painting steel surfaces. In heavy in - dustrial and marine atmospheres, rust always contains soluble salts; these sur - faces must be washed down with clear water before treatment
Application: Ready to use. Apply only on rusted sur - faces. One single application without excess is enough. Use preferably a stiff brush to assist penetration into the rust. Avoid the product to run off over the sur - face. Application by roller or pneumatic spray is acceptable. Temperature range for application : 0-40°C or 32-104°F.Can be applied on humid surfaces. Average coverage: 20 m²/liter
Paint systems: Is not a paint. For long-term protection, the treated surface must be protected by a suitable paint system. Painting should be carried out preferably within 48 hours after applica - tion. Paint must not be applied on Kelate ® while it is reacting with the rust. The reac - tion time is 3 hours and is characterized by the surface turning a blue-black color. Remove by rinsing with water or methy - lated spirit Kelate ® which has been spla - shed outside the surface to treat. Most solvent-based metal protective paints can be used over Kelate ®. Types of paints and the number of coats needed will be determined by the aggressiveness of the environment.
