DESCRIPTION AND USES : A water-based, film-forming product that chemically transforms rust into an inert, non-corrosive material. Use on rusted steel surfaces only where minimum surface preparation (scraping and wire brushing) is practical. For mild industrial environments. Not for immersion service.
APPEARANCE :
Opaque liquid
PACKAGING :
1 gallon plastic containers
RECOMMENDED TOPCOATS :
Industrial Enamel high gloss, semi-gloss, flat and metallic finishes
COMPATIBLE TOPCOATS :
Rust Reformer can be top-coated with many solventbased finishes; however, for optimal performance with high-performance coatings, the surface preparation and primer recommendation for those coatings should be followed. For water-based finish coatings a solvent-based primer should be used first.
PRODUCT APPLICATION : SURFACE PREPARATION
ALL SURFACES: Do not use on non-rusted surfaces. Remove all dirt, grease, oil, salt and chemical contaminants by washing the surface with Krud Kutter® Original Cleaner Degreaser, commercial detergent or other suitable cleaning method. Rinse thoroughly and immediately with fresh water and allow to fully dry. Scrape and wire brush to remove loose rust, scale and deteriorated coatings.
APPLICATION :
Apply only when air and surface temperatures are between 50-90°F (10-32°C) and surface temperature is at least 5°F above the dew point. Shake well before using. Pour a small amount of Rust Reformer into a separate non-metallic container. Brush material evenly across the surface to be coated. Rust Reformer will dry to a black film in ten minutes. Do not return any unused Rust Reformer to the original container. Doing so will contaminate the remaining material and reduce or eliminate its effectiveness.
