Rust Rehab
Rust Converter, Sealer, and Primer
Rust-Rehab, when used as a primer or topcoat is proven to protect untreated, bare metal surfaces against moisture and other corrosive elements. It is suitable for use on metal surfaces on “any size” project involving Transportation, Marine, Industrial & Commercial, Farm and Home applications. “No job is too small” makes it perfect for automotive restoration, restoring garden tools, bicycles, metal sporting & play equipment, lawn furnishings, iron railings and any other metal surface. “No job is too large” makes it perfect for restoring structural steel, railcars, and storage tanks. Use Rust-Rehab as a stand-alone coating or as a primer in combination with any preferred paint/coating system for unbeatable rust protection.
Rust is an ongoing problem with steel. In the past, the only way to deal with rust was sand blasting or using acid type products, which are both hazardous to the environment. TuffTex Materials has developed a safer, easier, nontoxic, cost effective way of dealing with rust. Rust-Rehab is safe and cleans up with soap and water. Managing rust with Rust-Rehab can eliminate dangerous acid solutions and abrasive blasting. Apply Rust-Rehab to preserve your metal objects and surfaces or use as a primer for your chosen coating. This process will keep structures and equipment looking like new and no measurable amount of steel is lost. As rust appears, treat with Rust-Rehab and let dry (cure) for 24 hours. (If needed, a Rust-Rehab recoat can be applied when surface is tack free). Rust-Rehab is an easy one step application, ready to topcoat with most types of paints ( oil base, epoxy or urethane) after a 24 hour curing time. Once Rust-Rehab has cured, it is resistant to re-rusting and to most solvents.
Rust-Rehab Compatibility
Rust-Rehab is an easy one step application, ready to topcoat with most types of paints (water base, oil base, epoxy, and urethane) after 24 hour curing time. Once Rust-Rehab is cured it is resistant to most solvents. Rust-Rehab is compatible with most metals such as copper, aluminum, stainless steel and will only leave a protective coating. Rust-Rehab can also be used on galvanized metal -- treat the rusty area and top coat with paint.
Limitations
Rust-Rehab is not recommended for use in applications where total immersion in water or any other fluid is required, i.e., the bottom of ships, ballast tanks, or storage tanks. However, it can work as a coating with some material storage. We do not recommend Rust-Rehab for these applications without first testing. Customers must test Rust-Rehab to their application and satisfaction when subjecting Rust-Rehab to constant immersion.
