Description
Use Power Rust Stop to inhibit rust on ferrous metal, galvanized metal, and other surfaces exposed to general industrial and atmospheric conditions. Power Rust Stop boasts excellent resistance to water, most alkalies, detergents and mild acids, and does not contain the flammable solvents found in other rust-inhibiting paints.
How to Use
SURFACE PREPARATION
Carefully clean up with a wet mop or HEPA vacuum. Remove all oil, grease, dirt, loose or scaling paint, rust, mil scale and other foreign matter.
FERROUS METAL
Industrial structures, tank exteriors, structural steel, etc., should be “commercial” blast cleaned (SSPC-SP6) or power tool cleaned (SSPC-SP3) as an alternative.
GALVANIZED METAL, ALUMINUM
Surface oil should be wiped off with mineral spirits and a clean rag.
PREVIOUSLY PAINTED SURFACES
Prepare ruptured or scratched surfaces as for unfinished metal. Spot prime bare ferrous metal as conditions dictate.
