Coo-Var Rust Converter

Coo-Var Rust Converter will resist the rusting process and allow the surface to be overcoated. Coo-Var Rust Converter is for use on iron and steel where all rust cannot be fully removed.

Surface Preparation

Surfaces should be clean and free from surface dirt, dust and grease. Light to medium rusted steelwork must be properly prepared by wire brush or power tools (SSPC SP3) to remove loose millscale and flaky rust or paint, which is not sound or tightly adhered. Weathered steel should be high pressure water or wet abrasive blasted to SSPC-SP6. Best results are achieved if some bright metal (10%) is showing in the rusted area.

Application Conditions

Apply when humidity is between 40 and 90% and the temperature is above 5°C. On warmer days it is recommended to damp down warm steel surfaces with a mist of water prior to application.

Preceding Coat

Apply direct.

Subsequent Coat

Coo-Var Zinc Phosphate Primer

Remarks

When using Teamac Rust Converter, always decant into a separate container and never return surplus material to original bottle. The product is best applied by brush or deck scrubber to encourage penetration of rusted surfaces.
