Feronite Rust Converter is a water based treatment based on tannin obtained from the bark of certain trees. It also contains other rust retarding compounds. It is brown in colour and the Rust Converter has an unlimited shelf life. It converts the surface rust to iron tanate and can take up to 24 hours to react. It can be applied in most weather conditions, on wet or dry surfaces but not below 5 degrees.

Feronite is very useful where conventional methods of rust removal (shot blasting, chipping) are impractical. The Rust Converter produces a stable surface onto which a primer, then undercoat and top coat can be applied.

Ideal for deteriorating iron roofs and rusting boat trailers, this product can extend their lives for many years. Feronite Rust Converter is also ideal where mildly elevated temperatures may be experienced.

Unlike other rust converters and so called converter primers, Feronite is considerably less acidic and so will not do nearly as much further damage to any remaining galvanising. The Rusty Metal Primer is a true vinyl acrylic primer combined with a rust converter unlike many other so called converter primers which are little more than a dilute acid solution.
