Description & Uses

(May have replaced NSN 6850-99-8916227 Corrosion inhibitor - Protal 2000)

RUSTETA is a water based chelating polymer designed for field application to rusted steel which has been hand or power cleaned, or sand blasted.

RUSTETA neutralizes the corrosion process. It reacts quickly with the rust and transforms iron oxides into a stable and insoluble blue-black metallo-organic complex which will be ready for painting after reaction.

Reaction time depends upon ambient temperature and degree of rust and it is not necessary to wash the surface with water after reaction. RUSTETA is also an excellent adhesion promoter for subsequent coating systems.

Instructions For Use

1. Apply RUSTETA on a rusted surface which is clean. Remove oil and grease before brushing.
2. Loose rust and mill scale should be removed by a wire brush.
3. In heavy industrial and marine atmospheres, rust always contains soluble salts; these surfaces must be washed down with clean water before application.
4. One single application without excess is enough. Preferably use stiff brush to assist penetration into the rust. Coverage 20 square metres per litre. Temperature range for application 0-40oC (32-104oF). Avoid runs and drips.
5. Paint must not be applied until RUSTETA has reacted with the rust. Splashes outside the area to be treated can be washed with water or Methylated Spirit.
6. RUSTETA is not a paint and should be over coated by a suitable paint system within 48 hours of application.
