Anti-Rust Product

It is important to distinguish the different actions involved in corrosion treatment for metal protection :

-Curative: Treatments allow rust to be removed from a substrate.

1. Deoxidation: it consists of solubilizing rust, in particular through the action of acids.2. Rust conversion: it consists of trapping oxidation within a film in the form of stable iron complexes (which blocks further oxidation).

-Preventive: Treatments consist of preventing oxidation from appearing on a clean or freshly cleaned surface.

1. Use of anti-corrosion products post-operational following degreasing, machining or shot blasting operations2. Phosphating treatment and other surface treatments: they create an adherent and oxidation-protective layer on the metal surface3. Coating: they protect the surface and prevent it from reacting with oxygen (air).

Q&A on anti-rust products

What are the different anti-rust products?

3 types of products must be distinguished. 1/ Products to remove rust from metal: the rust removers. 2/ Products to convert rust in order to preserve corroded parts: the rust converters. 3/ Products to prevent parts from rusting: anti-corrosion protections. Depending on your specific needs, our teams are here to advise you.

Which anti-rust product should be used as a preventive treatment?

In order to prevent the appearance of rust, we offer several anti-corrosion protections. First, the protection of parts stored under shelter. There are products that allow parts to be stored for 2 weeks under shelter with the option to renew the treatment if necessary. Then, the protection of outdoor parts: 2 peelable varnishes from our range allow protection of outdoor parts for several years. For any inquiries, contact our team.

Which anti-rust product should be used as a curative treatment?

In order to eliminate rust, we offer 2 types of treatment depending on the nature of the parts to be treated. First, the rust converter to treat thin sheet metal and convert rust without damaging the substrate. Then, the rust removal, using a product that removes rust through chemical action. This treatment dissolves corroded materials and must be stopped so that the action does not extend to healthy areas. Find these products on this page.

Which anti-rust product should be used to treat bodywork or auto parts?

For the treatment of thick auto parts, usephosphoric acid. Diluted with water, this product removes rust from ferrous and non-ferrous metals. You can also use it to phosphate the surface, thereby creating lasting protection against rust. For treating body panel sheet metal, use the rust converter METAL PRO. This non-corrosive product transforms rust into a thin protective layer. It can be injected into the hollow cavities of sill panels. It makes an excellent primer before painting. Contact our team if you are unsure about which product to choose.

Which product should be used to degrease and remove rust?

Use the phosphating degreaser to degrease and remove rust. It is suitable for cleaning metals (iron, steel, ...). Thanks to its strong wetting action, it acts uniformly on the surface. Used as a pre-paint treatment, it facilitates primer adhesion. Visit this page to discover all our anti-rust products.
