1. What does Teamac Rust Converter do?

Teamac Rust Converter is a water-based solution that chemically transforms rust into a stable, paintable black coating. This prevents further corrosion and serves as a solid base for most topcoats.

2. How do I apply Teamac Rust Converter?

You can apply it using a brush, roller, or spray. Ensure the surface is clean of loose rust, grease, or other contaminants beforehand. Follow the product instructions regarding drying times and recommended environmental conditions.

3. Do I need to remove all rust before applying it?

No, that’s the main benefit of a rust converter. While you should remove loose or flaky rust and any heavy debris, the product is designed to react with existing rust, stabilising and preventing its spread.

4. What type of finish does it leave?

Once dry, the product forms a black, stable layer that you can paint over with most standard metal topcoats. This finish locks down rust and creates a smooth foundation for subsequent coatings.

5. Is this product suitable for both indoor and outdoor use?

Yes. The low-odour, water-based formula is safe for indoor or outdoor applications, making it versatile for a wide range of rusted surfaces on iron or steel.

6. Do I still need a primer after using Teamac Rust Converter?

Often, you can apply a suitable metal topcoat directly over the converted surface. However, if the final paint system requires a primer, or if the substrate is in a particularly harsh environment, consult the paint manufacturer or our experts for the best approach.

7. Is the coverage similar to standard primers?

Coverage can vary depending on the degree of rust and surface condition, but you can typically expect coverage in line with a standard metal primer. Apply a thin, even layer for best results.
