Don't remove rust, convert rust!
CORROSEAL® Rust Converter
Product Description
Not all rust converters perform equally. Corroseal Rust Converting Primer was formulated specifically for use in the marine industry - one of the harshest environments for coatings. There are considerable differences in formulas and performance between the various rust treatment products in the market. Corroseal has proven performance for over 25 years in harsh environments, which is not true for many competing rust converter type products.
Corroseal is a water based rust converter combined with an unpigmented high quality copolymer latex metal primer. The advantages of using Corroseal include reduced labor costs by not having to mechanically or chemically remove existing rust while at sea, on bridges, or in operational factories; and by the environmentally friendly properties of the product which makes delivery, storage, use, cleanup and disposal relatively convenient when compared to other metal primers and rust removal methods.
Corroseal is non flammable, non corrosive, easy to apply, and cleans up with just soap and water
Corroseal works equally well applied by an inexperienced homeowner or by a professional shipyard painter.
Corroseal Protects
Corroseal is designed to apply directly to clean tight rust. The first bloom of rust after waterblasting is a benefit.
The effects of Corroseal are created by its two principal components:
Additionally all commercial steel contains impurities, which are not uniformly distributed in the metal. Understanding the chemistry of corrosion and effectively dealing with many of the irregularities that are present on a particular steel surface is what makes Corroseal Rust Converting Primer better than other formulas.
Corroseal is Paintable
Corroseal remains "open" to mechanical, chemical and electrical bonding with most topcoats for 30 days. Corroseal is well known as a high quality and consistent product by those who routinely deal with the painting rusted metal. Corroseal serves as the primer and bonds with oil based paint, epoxy, urethane and most other top coats.

Corroseal Protects
Corroseal is designed to apply directly to clean tight rust. The first bloom of rust after waterblasting is a benefit.
The effects of Corroseal are created by its two principal components:
- Mild acids to arrest rusting and convert existing rust to other compounds
- A chemically advanced copolymer that bonds with both the converted rust and with applied topcoats.
Additionally all commercial steel contains impurities, which are not uniformly distributed in the metal. Understanding the chemistry of corrosion and effectively dealing with many of the irregularities that are present on a particular steel surface is what makes Corroseal Rust Converting Primer better than other formulas.

Typical Applications
SURFACE PREPARATION
Remove all salt, loose rust, mill scale, dirt, grease, oil, old paint and other deposits. Apply solvent cleaner according to manufacturer's directions and rinse. A residue free surface is essential before coating application begins. The surface should be a CLEAN, TIGHT RUST.
Notes: Do NOT use Acetone or dishwashing detergent to clean rusted steel surface. When black color appears, rust conversion has started. If gray areas appear apply more Corroseal® while surface is tacky.
APPLICATION
Brush, roll or spray undiluted Corroseal® in a heavy white coat with no surface show through at 8-10 mils wet film thickness. When black color appears, rust conversion has started. Wait at least 24 hours before top coating. A second coat of Corroseal® may be applied while first coat is still tacky. Apply all topcoats according to manufacturer’s specifications. Use oil based marine or industrial coatings for best weather protection.
Application Conditions
Keep from freezing, Apply at 45°F and rising and below 100°F(7°-37°C) and falling. Test over zinc based coatings as some galvanizing reject Corroseal® chemistry. Do not apply onto zinc chromate or phosphates, lead, magnesium, copper powder, graphite, borate pigments. Chromate-treated (pickled) prefabricated steel building cold rolled perlins and gutters are to remain dry until top coated. Cold rolled steel can require abrading to anchor profile and degrease.
Application Method
Brush roll or spray undiluted Corroseal® in a heavy white coat with no surface show through at 8-10 mils wet film thickness.
Limitations
Waterborne topcoats subject to tannin staining must be tested 48-60 hours before use. If tannin staining occurs, apply oil based stain blocker or apply oil based topcoat. Always prepare a test patch to ensure compatibility with substrate and follow-on coatings.
DRY TIME
Dry time to re-coat Wait at least 24 hours to top coat.
