Rust Converter Remover converts rust to primed ready to paint steel surface area

Rust Converter Remover converts rust to primed ready to paint steel surface area Oxilixo Rust Converter Product 100ml

A Steel rust converter with added co-polymer acrylic primer to convert rust to a ready to paint surface.

Intended use on corroded ferrous metal in order to facilitate refinishing.

Oxilixo Rust converter is a ready to use water-based anti corrosion treatment to inhibit and neutralise rust.

It stabilises the surface and forms a protective coating once dry. Oxilixo will will react to form a barrier against water vapour, oxygen and carbon dioxide to prevent further rusting.

Oxilixo rust converter will resist salt spray and bacterial growth.

Preparation

The surface must be clean, dry and free from dust, oil and grease. Remove old loose paint and rust with steel wool or wire brush. If paint is difficult to remove use paint stripper. Weathered steel should be high pressure water or wet abrasive blasted to SSOC-SP6. Best results are achieved when some bright metal, at least 10%, is showing in the rusted area. Light to medium rusted steelwork must be properly prepared by wire brush or power tools (SSPC.SP3) to remove loose mill scale and flaky rust and paint, which is not sound or tightly adhered. Do not use in hot dry weather. Apply Oxilixo when the humidity is greater than 40%.On warmer days it is recommended to damp down warm steel with a mist of water prior to application

Application Oxilixo is supplied ready to use. DO NOT THIN. Oxilixo should be stored at room temperature (20°C /68°F) for 24 hours prior to use. Apply Oxilixo when air and surface temperatures are between 5°C and 30°C with relative humidity between 40-90%. When using Oxilixo , always decant the product into a separate plastic container. Never return surplus used material back into the original container. Best applied by brush or deck scrubber or roller to encourage penetration of rusted surfaces. Brush a thin coat directly onto rusty areas only, working well into any pitted areas, corners and edges. Brush Oxilixo well into the rust to leave a dry film thickness of 25-30 microns Ensure that exposed corners and edges are well treated to avoid any chance of rust creep beneath. Oxilixo in the wet state is off-white in colour. After application, the changing colour of the coating indicates that the chemical reaction is taking place. One coat should be sufficient, but two coats will give longer lasting protection After treatment with Oxilixo, the overall area should be navy/black in appearance. One coat should be sufficient, but two coats will give longer lasting protection If this is not the case, insufficient surface preparation has been carried out, so you will need to apply a further coat. One coat should be sufficient, but two coats will give longer lasting protection

Drying time Oxilixo will normally be touch dry within 2 to 3 hours depending on the temperature and humidity. Cooler temperatures delay drying. Re-coating Time Rust Converter will turn any treated areas blue-black as it reacts with rust. If the area treated does not change colour, reapply after 30 minutes. Do not rinse off the first treatment. Cooler temperatures delay final full curing. Allow a minimum of 8 hours before over coating with water based products and 24 hours when using solvent based topcoats. Application Temp. Ideally between 15 – 25°C. Coverage 6-8 m² per litre depending on the absorbency of the surface. Clean up Wash brushes and equipment with water immediately after use. Clean spray lines before Oxilixo dries. Oxilixo, when it has dried, is difficult to remove. Use an aromatic solvent to soften dry brushes or free clogged lines. Shelf-life/Storage Many years in original unopened container stored in a cool, dry, dark place and protected from freezing
