Rust Converter
This product is a water-based chemical reagent composed of polymer materials and active ingredients of related additives. It penetrates rust layers and reacts with iron oxides (rust) to form a stable, dense black or bluish-black inert compound. This compound adheres firmly to the substrate, forming a solid protective layer, effectively preventing further corrosion of steel.
Rust Convert & Prevent 2-in-1: No need for complicated rust removal – directly convert rust into a dense protective layer, saving you time and effort.
Environmentally Safe: Water-based formula, non-flammable, non-explosive, no irritating fumes; safe for environment and workers.
Strong Adhesion: The converted layer bonds firmly to the substrate, providing an excellent base for subsequent coatings.
Deep Penetration: Effectively penetrates complex shapes and hard-to-reach areas, treating hidden rust spots.
Visible Conversion: The reaction is observable – rust turns into a uniform black-bluish color.
Rust prevention performance: reference to test methods under standards such as GB/T 21746-2008 “Safety requirements for teaching instruments & equipment” and other related rust testing methods.
Designed for surfaces with light to moderate uniform rust (rust layer ≤ 50 µm). For surfaces with thick rust clusters, loose rust, or peeling old paint, mechanical treatment is recommended first.
Step | Details |
---|---|
Surface Preparation | Remove loose rust, peeling old paint, grease and dust. No need to sand down to bare metal; leave solid rust layer intact. |
Mixing & Application | Shake or stir well before use. Apply via brush, roller, or spray, ensuring the rusted area is fully saturated. |
Reaction Time | At ambient temperature, allow ~ 15–30 minutes for rust to convert to black-bluish (or dark blue) color. |
Drying / Inspection | Air dry for 4-8 hours (depending on humidity). Inspect conversion; re-apply to any missed spots. |
Follow-up Coating | Once completely dry (typically after ~ 24 hours), apply rust-preventive paint or finish coat. |

Transport with protection from direct sunlight, freezing and impact.
Store in a cool, dry place at 5 °C to 40 °C. Avoid frost.
Shelf life of unopened product under above conditions: 12 months from manufacturing date.
Applicability: For already rusted surfaces. On clean, rust-free metal the converter cannot form the protective conversion layer effectively.
Environmental Conditions: Temperature above 5 °C, relative humidity below 85%. Avoid application during heavy wind, rain or fog.
Heavy Rust Treatment: For surfaces with severe rust, remove thick rust mechanically first before applying the converter for better performance.
Personal Protection: Wear gloves and safety goggles when applying. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention.
