• Extends Longevity: Minimizes maintenance and significantly prolongs the lifespan of treated metal assets, offering long-lasting anti-corrosive properties.

The MTN PRO Rust Converter is an innovative solution that simplifies metal surface maintenance. Thanks to its unique additive formulation, it actively transforms existing rust into a stable primer, ready for further painting without extensive sanding. This clear epoxy resin-based product not only neutralizes and encapsulates rust on damaged steel surfaces but also creates a robust, waterproof layer that is highly resistant to corrosive elements.

Ideal for both industrial applications and DIY projects, MTN Rust Converter is your go-to product for ensuring long-lasting anticorrosive protection. It dramatically extends the life of metal surfaces, minimizing future maintenance needs. Its exceptional adhesion properties ensure that subsequent paint coats – whether solvent- or water-based – bond perfectly, providing a superior finish and enhanced durability. Simply clean, apply, and recoat to achieve a professional, protected surface.

Usage

• Clean the rustiest areas thoroughly with a wire brush to remove loose rust.
• Remove rust dust using MTN Alcohol 70% or a similar cleaner, then ensure the surface is completely dry.
• Shake the aerosol vigorously for at least one minute after hearing the mixing ball.
• Apply in thin, even coats from a distance of 15-20 cm. We recommend 3-4 uniform coats, allowing 10 minutes between each. The encapsulated rust will have a “wet” appearance.
• Allow 15-20 minutes flash-off time between coats. Recoat with colored paint after 2 hours, adjusting for thickness, humidity, and temperature. Always test compatibility on a small area first.
• After use, invert the can and spray briefly to purge the valve. Replace clogged nozzles as needed.
