Features
EcoSafe Strip Rust Converter & Inhibitor has proven they will effectively remove all types of rust, whether light surface rust or deep-seated blooms.
The results produced with EcoSafe Strip Rust Converter & Inhibitor are the same as those achieved by the harsh and dangerous chemicals presently used by industry.
Water rinsing quickly removes the residue, and the surface is ready for a new coating.
New coatings exhibited no reduction of adhesion under standard adhesion pull tests.
If allowed to air dry, the product will protect the surface from re-rusting for extended periods.
Application Guide
Apply with a brush, roller or rag for small areas. A small hand pump, weed sprayer or conventional spray equipment can produce a finely atomised spray for larger areas.
Preparation
- Ensure that all areas not to be cleaned are suitably protected.
- The product should not be diluted and must not be mixed before application.
- The surface may be washed and cleaned before application; however, the surface should be dry before application of EcoSafe Strip Rust Converter.
- For extremely rusty surfaces, it is necessary to wire brush the surface before treatment.
Dwell Time
The time required to remove the rust depends on the rust type and penetration depth.
- Most rust will be cleaned within 10 to 15 minutes.
- For extremely rusty surfaces, it is also effective to place a rag on the surface and saturate with the rust converter. Check the surface at 30-minute intervals to ensure rust has been converted.
Coverage
Depending on the substrate, the coverage rate for Nu EcoSafe Strip Rust Converter normally falls between 8 to 10 sq. m. per Litre
Re-Coating
Nu EcoSafe Strip Rust Converter & Inhibitor will inhibit rust of approximately 3 months therefore recoating is recommended as rust may reoccur.
