63 AQUATAN ENVIRONMENTAL RUST TREATMENT
Rust converter to treat rusted steel as passivator and long-term rust inhibiting Treatment
Description / Uses
- Neutralises the corrosion proces.
- Reacts quickly with the rust and transforms iron oxides into stable insoluble blue-black metallo-organic complex inert surface
- Effects a thorough chemical passivation of substrate making it a sound base for application of subsequent coating systems
- Gives a water insoluble hydrophobic film
- Is an excellent adhesion promoter for subsequent paint or coating systems
- NON-TOXIC, NON-HAZARDOUS, NON-FLAMMABLE, DRY FILM IS FIRE RESISTANT
- Only minimum surface preparation required. Degrease, remove loose rust flakes/scales with brush or sandpaper, etc. Wash off salt, oil and chemicals
- Can be easily applied by brush, roller or spray. 1 Litre covers approximately 20 sq mtrs
- Reaction time required - 3 hours
- To be applied to damp rusted surfaces
- Gives you cost-effective corrosion control and long-term protection qualities
- Aquatan is compatible with most usual paint types and coating systems, alkyd systems, modified alkyds, epoxies, chlorinated rubber, polyurethanes, vinyls and the new water-based paint systems
Application
On all rusted steel surfaces requiring long-term control of rust prior to re-coating especially when sandblasting is a problem, e.g. ballast water and oil-tanks, cargo holds, decks, hatch covers, etc. and also offshore oil rigs, refineries, electricity power stations, shipyards, bridges, railways as well as routine factory maintenance. For a product which is a passivator and primer use Aqua-Steel-Product No. 30.
Directions for use
Remove oil and grease with Natural Zest Environmental degreaser. Remove loose rust, rust flakes! scales with wire brushes etc. In heavy industrial and marine atmospheres rust always contains soluble salts which should be washed down prior to application of Aquatan Environmental Rust Treatment.
Aquatan Environmental Rust Treatment is ready for use. One thin application only is sufficient.
Apply by roller, brush or spray. 1 litre covers approximately 20 sq metres. For application on hot
surfaces above 4OdegC a special high temperature resistant formulation is available. Refer to Aquamarine Head Office or local agent for advice.
Reaction time is 3 hours and paint/coatings must not be applied sooner.
Aquatan Environmental Rust Treatment is not a paint. Treated surfaces must be protected by suitable paint/coatings, preferably within 48 hours after application of Aquatan.
