Flag Rust Lock is a high performance, water based heavy duty rust killer that neutralises rust and forms a tough black surface that's suitable for overcoating with solvent based primers and topcoats. Do not use hot solvents such as xylene or paints based on xylene over metal treated with Flag Rust Converter. Flag Rust Converter is part of our large range of Rust converters designed for use on metals.
Best Uses
Flag Rust Lock works excellently well at eliminating rust and preventing it from reoccurring. Flag Rust Lock can be over coated with all standard solvent based paints and effectively acts as a primer once rust has been removed to offer a protective surface. Flag Rust Lock is quick drying and extremely simple to use.
Application
Flag Rust Lock can be quickly and easily applied using a brush and will be dry to touch in 1 hour. After 4-6 hours Flag Rust Lock can be over coated with most solvent based paints to provide decoration. Flag Rust Lock has a theoretical coverage rate of 8-12 m2 per litre and is available in 1 litre tins.
Do not use hot solvents such as xylene or paints based on xylene over metal treated with Flag Rust Lock.
Surface and Environment
Flag Rust Lock is designed for use on metal surfaces where rust has built up over time or is prone to reoccurring. Once applied Flag Rust Lock works well to stop rust building up again. Flag Rust Lock can be used internally or externally and once dry provides the surface with a hard, satin, black finish.
