Description
Rust converter and base coat in one process
WEICON Rust Converter: For the effective neutralisation of rust on rusty cast iron and steel surfaces. Protects from corrosion and is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. The Rust Converter is based on epoxy resin and forms a metallic-organic iron complex with the rust layer. This connection is stabilised by the special epoxy resin, which protects metals from external impacts. The black layer formed serves as base coat and is the foundation for the subsequent, permanent coating. The spray is anti-corrosive, has excellent capillary action and a high opacity. It is temperature-resistant up to +80 °C (short-term < 15 min. up to +160 °C), has good weather and UV resistance as well as excellent resistance to solvents. WEICON Rust Converter is free of heavy metals and mineral-acid. Rust Converter can be applied to all rusty areas, e.g. on machines or in plants, on agricultural equipment as well as motor vehicles. The spray can also be used as a protective, rust preventive layer.

Question : Can i use this rust converter (as primer) before apply 1k paint on metal surface and will the paint stick to the rust converter ?
:
Answer:
Question : I have used the Rust Converter before and was very please with its effectivness. I started a fresh can on the project I am currently working on a few weeks ago and the metal turned black quickly and everything seemed fine. Yesterday I continued to treat a large patch of rust and nothing happened at all, the rust is still rust coloured under the epoxy. I sprayed some rusty test pieces and the same result, no rust conversion. What could be the reason for this and how do I proceed? Do I need to grind off the expoxy and try again? If so are there any thinners I can use to remove the coating?
:
Answer:
The rust must be mechanically sanded off in advance. Then apply the rust converter and allow to harden. Now the rust can no longer grow and is protected by the paint layer. It is not possible to convert rust to metal with our product.
