RUSTY METAL PRIMER

Dulux recently purchased 400ltrs of FERONITE to prime rusty areas on an Oil Rig

What is Feronite rusty metal primer?
Feronite rusty metal primer is based on the successful Feronite tannin pre treatment for rusty surfaces. It is non-toxic non-flammable water based chemical comprising highly protective resins, tannin extracts and anti corrosive additives.  When applied to rust, the tannin components react with the oxides of iron present to produce a stable black compound (chelated iron tannate) and this becomes incorporated in the resin layer as the coating dries. The result is a strongly bonded protective surface coating which includes the elements of the original rust converted to an inert passivated from with strongly anti-corrosive characteristics.

Feronite Rusty Metal Primer is a new coating which chemically eliminates surface rust and primes the steel surface in one application. It does always with tedious and costly surface preparation such as blasting or grinding, followed by application of solvent based anti-corrosive priming paints. Feronite primer replaces all this and can be applied to damp surfaces so weather conditions are not a limitation.

Uses for Feronite rusty metal primer
Feronite rusty metal primer is for treatment and preparation of rusted steel or galvanised surfaces on:

RUST CONVERTER


FERONITE is a non-toxic, non-flammable liquid which when combined with rust produces a stable black compound (iron tennate) and chemical reaction of chelation form a strong matrix adhering to metal underneath. This coating a can be covered with conventional paints and used in any environments.

FERONITE itself is a permanent coating but offers these alternatives:

1. FERONITE is a holding surface that can go without painting for up to 12 months.
2. FERONITE is continual maintenance system where painting is prohibitive or not required.
3. FERONITE is ideal for maintenance of profiles on metal stock lines.
4. FERONITE as a permanent coating where traditional painting systems are applied over FERONITE treated metal.  

Interesting facts about FERONITE:

• FERONITE is a water based chemical based on tannin from the bark on the mimosa tree
• FERONITE is brown in colour with an aromatic smell.
• Suitable for hot surfaces to 250C
• Coverage is 10_15 m/l
• FERONITE can be applied in any atmospheric conditions on wet or dry surfaces
