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.
Safe & Environmentally Friendly
- Non-toxic formulation
- Non-flammable
- Water-based formula
- Easy cleanup with water if spillage occurs
- No harsh chemicals or laborious scrubbing required
Versatile Surface Compatibility
Once treated, surfaces can be overcoated with oil or water-based paints, cellulose, 1 or 2 pack epoxy, lacquer, or wax. Can be used on treated surfaces like galvanized or chromed materials.
