FERROZINC is a high performance water thinnable rust converter. It is an easily applied single pack material with excellent long term conversion properties. In many situations blast cleaning is not cost effective or practical, and though Ferrozinc is not an equivalent alternative to shot blasting, it does offer a far superior performance than conventional coatings applied to slightly rusted surfaces. FERROZINC is used after simple wire brushing to remove surface rust. A dramatic colour change from white to black will show that the rust has been effectively neutralised. FERROZINC should then be overcoated with a suitable primer & topcoat system for prolonged corrosion resistance. Salt spray and extended durability testing has proven FERROZINC to out-perform competitive rust conversion materials.

Cleaning

Surfaces should be wire brushed to remove loose rust. Soluble salts should be removed by washing with water, as they may slow down the conversion process. FERROZINC should not be used over oil/grease contamination, or existing paint as this will render the product ineffective.

Surface Preparation

Please refer to Knowledge Base for details on Surface Preparation.

Additional Information

Use a short pile stipple brush, applying a light coat.

Scrub well into rusted areas only. Avoid coating non-rusted areas wherever possible.
