FERROZINC is a high performance waterbased 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.

Ideal for structural steel, fences, iron railings, guttering, external ferrous metals, vehicle and machinery and marine situations due to application to damp surfaces that are difficult to completely dry e.g light condensation or surface moisture, not for application during wet weather. Please refer to the Technical & Data Safety Sheets for more information.

Features & Benefits:

• Easy to apply
• Excellent long term conversion properties.
• Compatible with most coating systems including water/oil based, chlorinated rubber and epoxy systems.
• Extended testing proving to outperform many other rust conversion products.
• 20 square metres per litre @ 15 microns dft
• Maximum VOC content: 0.03 Kg/l

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.

Instructions for Use:

1. Clean and degrease using suitable HMG Prep Clean. For heavily rusted areas, scrape or brush to remove loose contamination.
2. Best applied with short hard bristle brush with dabbing motion, can be applied with a short pile roller. Apply in thin coat.
3. Dramatic colour change from white to navy/black
4. Wipe away any excess Ferrozinc
