Rust Converters

Rust Converters

When it comes to your car or vehicle, corrosion is your worst enemy. Luckily, there are rust converters and rust removers to protect and remove rust from your car's vulnerable pieces. Rust converters contain a built-in primer that double as a metal primer for the metal parts you're restoring. A rust converter works best with iron and steel and are less effective on aluminum.

When Does Rust Converter Work?

As we have explained above, a rust converter is a coating that will convert heavy rusted areas into a protective coating with little prep. A rust converter needs 100% rust present in order for it work correctly and to fully cure. A rust converter works on

• Medium rust
• Heavy, flaky rust

A rust converter will not work bare metal, mixed surfaces and painted or coated surfaces.

BRUNOX Epoxy Spray

BRUNOX EPOXY is the patented Anticorrosion-system on an epoxy-resin base. The amber-coloured, clear liquid forms a metal-organic iron complex with the neutralized rust. This black, very compact and resistant protective layer, which is formed, guarantees long-term corrosion protection and is at the same time a perfect primer coat because of the epoxy-resin components.

Rust Remover

The key difference between a rust converter and a rust remover is that one causes rust to separate away from the metal surface while the other converts rust to a stable compound. A rust remover is used to completely remove rust from the metal of a corroded part. In contrast, rust converters bond to the rust and act as a primer. A rust converter stops the corrosion from spreading.
