FERTAN Rust Converter

Advanced Rust Treatment Technology

FERTAN Rust Converter penetrates and pulverizes rust fast, converting it into ferric tannate — a stable, blackened surface that’s ready to be painted, welded, galvanized, or chromed. This patented water-based formula creates an underlying zinc phosphate layer deep below the rust surface to protect the base metal.

Easy Application

Application couldn’t be simpler. FERTAN Rust Converter can be easily rolled, sponged, or sprayed on in wet or dry conditions. The treated surface can be overcoated almost immediately or left for another day, with a zinc coating providing a painting window of up to six months total protection from recurring rust.
