Rustmasters Metal sealer is a rust penetrating, moisture repelling, non-pigmented product, which permeates through rust and adheres to the metal surface. Rustmasters has been developed to markedly extend paint systems duration on both rusty and non-rusty steel surfaces, thereby greatly reducing labour costs and extending the life of the equipment treated.
Rustmasters Alucoat is a rust penetrating, moisture repelling, surface protection coating consisting of Metal Sealer to which brilliant aluminium flakes is added, 28% by weight, which produces a coating of exceptional protection and wearing qualities, leaving the work undertaken with a silver colour finish.
Rustmasters Metal Master is a blend of Rustmasters Alucoat and Zinc Phosphates. The ability to penetrate slight rust and adhere to sound metal surface below and seal clean lightly abraded steel providing a tough corrosion control, with resistants to ultraviolet light. Metal Master is a sliver/grey finish, high build is achievable in one coat application, suitable for top for both new and maintenance work.
Rustmasters is made from a blend of resins, active oils, inhibitors, surfactants (to increase spreading and wetting properties), carefully selected solvents, and siccatives (to help dry out any trapped moisture).
Rustmasters works by impregnation and by penetration of the rust layer through to the substrate, encapsulating rust particles and incorporating them as a pigment in the dry film, then drying to a tough isolating film. Rustmasters is guaranteed not to start any chemical reaction when applied to rusty surfaces. Rustmasters simply penetrates rust and gives anchorage to the pure metal surface, forcing out moisture and sealing the surface against continued rusting.
All Three products are made up from the Rustmasters Formula, designed to penetrate the rust, repel the moisture, and adhere to the metal surface.
Each product has its own benefits, see PDS. Metal Sealer can be used on its own, if that is the desired finish or as an under coat to Alucoat or Metal Master. The Metal Master and Alucoat can be used on their own as a single coat, but as they have added benefits, this does weaken the formula, why recommended a Metal Sealer as an under coat before top coating.
Metal Sealer is a non-pigmented product that dries clear.
Metal Master has a silver/grey finish.
Alucoat also has a silver/ grey finish.
The Rustmasters Formula has excellent penetrating ability, gives excellent adhesion to oil free surfaces, remains flexible when dry, and has no odour once drying is achieved. Does not give off toxic fumes when welded. When dry is virtually self-extinguishing when the source of flame is removed.
When applied to rusted surfaces must be applied wet-in-wet until a shine is achieved on drying. If a mat finish appears recoat as above. The product is clear and dries to a hard clear finish.
Can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, it freezes at -70°C. Normal temperature range is -40°C to 140°C short-term 160°C. Can be baked (for powder coating purposes) to 205°C. Coverage varies on surface texture. Heavy rust up to 15m2 / ltr. New steel / painted surfaces up to 25m2 / ltr.
Non-conductive, tested in excess of 75,000 volts. Has anti–static properties and is easily cleaned.
Rustmasters conducts heat readily when used on motor vehicle radiators, refrigeration coils etc.
Rustmasters is very versatile, can be used on steel, aluminium, stainless. Stainless ropes on verandas.
When used on faded paintwork it appears to reverse the oxidisation process, rejuvenating the colours of the paint. Can be made UV stable for this use.
Across all three products, before applying Rustmasters to rusted surface, the surface should be as free as possible from loose and flaking paint and rust. Larger structures can be cleaned using high pressure water in preference to costly sand blasting. Slight rust – light wire brush is all that is required. Surface must be free of oils, grease, fats etc.
The Rustmasters range can be applied by brush, roller, airless spray gun, or conventional spray equipment.
Depending on weather conditions. Normally six hours drying. Overnight drying preferred before finishing coats are applied.
Depending on the desired finish, Metal Sealer doesn’t require a topcoat, after following instructions can be left as desired. However, being a non-pigmented protective coating, will suffer ultraviolet degradation if exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods, recommended maintenance coats as required.
Metal Master and Alucoat are designed to be a topcoat, for extended life of your project and high rusted areas Metal Sealer is recommended as an undercoat.
Metal Sealer can then be overcoated with Alucoat or Metal Master as well as two pack epoxy or Polyurethane paints to suit the environment.
Rustmasters may be used over old painted surfaces, so long as loose flaking paint is removed, once again waterblast or wire brush is all that is required. Chalky surfaces must be washed, body fats must be removed.
Yes, we recommend Metal Sealer with a Alucoat as a top coat. For these projects, waterblast is the easiest and most effective method of cleaning roofing, tanks, etc. Please Note, if painting a roof or tank it is not recommended to use if purposed to drink/consume the water.
Alucoat can be used to treat faded aluminium window frames, air conditioner condenser coils.
NO, not at all, Rustmasters is used as a preventer as well as a treatment system. Stop the rust before it starts is the ultimate fight against rust.
Dry Heat – Continuously 120°C
– Momentarily 160°C
Heavy rusted surfaces – 12-15m2 / ltr
Light rusted surfaces – 20-25m2 / ltr
Sound painted surfaces – 30m2 / ltr
Rustmasters, when used in accordance with manufactures specifications, should double the life between paint jobs and often greater. Rustmasters is a protective coating, not a cosmetic coating. It tolerates salts and most lighter acids, remains flexible and resists corrosion in the harshest conditions.
Rustmasters rejuvenation and protection system is successfully used on the following:
Yes, Rustmasters Metal Sealer can be used to protect and prevent against rust and rejuvenate the current under body paint system. Following the manufactures instructions Metal Sealer can be applied by brush, roller, airless spray gun, or conventional spray equipment.
