Rust converter PERMATEX

Application area

The manufacturer claims that the product is universal, believing that it is able to effectively deal with rust on all vehicles - trucks, trailers, agricultural and road construction equipment (ploughs, tractors, loaders, overhead cranes, snow plows, etc.).

PERMATEX Rust Converter is also suitable for corrosion protection of surfaces of liquid storage tanks, fences, barriers, external parts of pipeline fittings and pipelines themselves.

The expediency of using this product for parts of sea and river watercraft is especially emphasized: it is recommended to use it on bulkheads, deck overlays and hatch covers (the top layer must be painted with the appropriate type of paint).

The benefits of using the PERMATEX converter for the protective treatment of steel fences, fences, outdoor advertising signs, road signs have been proven.

Description

Permatex Rust Treatment (types 81775 or 81849) is a quick drying milky white latex resin. The coating can also be applied to rusted metal - even in this case, it is possible to stop the further spread of rust, protect the surface, and later act as a primer for the top coat.

Product advantages:

  1. Eliminates old rust and prevents the appearance of new corrosion spots.
  2. Sandblasting is not required, it is enough to clean the surface from loose rust, oil, dirt and grease deposits with a metal brush.
  3. The degree of humidity of the surface to be cleaned does not matter.
  4. Rust conversion occurs as a result of one operation. A sign of the end of the process is a visual change in the color of the coating - from milky white to purple or black (due to the appearance of easily removable iron oxides).

According to user reviews, the product is safe, does not burn and has low toxicity.

Performance characteristics and application procedure

Regardless of the packaging form, Permatex Rust Treatment has the following indicators:

  • density, kg/m3 –1200;
  • viscosity - corresponds to SAE 60 engine oil;
  • temperature range of application, °С – 8…28.

The product is not recommended for use under exterior sheet metal finishes as it may cause blistering. The sequence of work performed does not fundamentally differ from the use of similar protective agents (for example, Astrohim rust converter) and is as follows:

  1. Remove grease and dirt with a wire brush.
  2. Rinse the surface with water to remove impurities.
  3. Mix thoroughly before use (use a clean plastic container for preparation).
  4. Work with a brush, roller or sponge; for large areas, it is better to use spray packaging of the product. Spray based on Permatex Rust Treatment can be prepared independently if you add up to 10% of water to the original composition and mix thoroughly.
  5. The time for changing the color of the treated surface is up to 20 minutes, depending on the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air.
  6. Uneven color indicates the need to reapply the rust converter. The second layer is applied 15…30 minutes after the primary treatment. The total thickness of the coating must be at least 40 microns.
  7. Drying is carried out under natural conditions, its duration should be at least 24 hours. The surface can then be primed and painted.

use Features

Possible failures are due to uneven drying of the substance. It is extremely difficult to remove drips, drops, sagging, so the treatment should be done as evenly as possible. Subsequent painting of the surface does not require additional primer, with the exception of water-based paints and paints with metal filler.

Brushes, rollers and other tools used for processing must be cleaned immediately with water or detergent. The spray head is cleaned in the same way. If Permatex Rust Converter is spilled on clothing, it should be soaked in cold tap water and then washed. Do not use ammonia, strong alkaline detergents or hot water. Hands should be washed with soap and water.

The composition should be stored in a cool, dry place.
