Basic Use

Corroseal® is recommended for use on steel surfaces as a rust converter/paint primer. Corroseal® protects against future rusting, and can be used on welds. It eliminates the need to mechanically blast the steel to white metal, and is designed for use of water blasted surfaces that rerust. For detail see CORProductData.pdf.

Application

Apply a final stage cleaner according to manufacturer's directions. Remove salt, loose rust, mill scale, dirt, grease, oil, old flaking paint and other deposits. A residue free surface is essential before coating application begins. Brush, roll or spray undiluted Corroseal® in a heavy white coat with no surface show-through at 8-10 mils (200-250 micron) wet film thickness. When black color appears, rust conversion has started. Wait at least 24 hours to topcoat. Apply top coats after 24 hour cure, or wait to 30 days allowing flexible window for weather, or for schedule flexibility.

For complete application analysis and specifications refer CORVisGuide.pdf and CORTechData.pdf.

Coverage 1 gallon of Corroseal® covers approximately 200 sq. ft. in a 10 mil coat (200-250 micron) to produce a 2.5-3 mil DFT to cover anchor profiles for estimating purposes. Converts heavy rust over 20-30 mils deep. Two (2) coats will convert up to 150 mils of rust. Actual surface conditions and thickness of rust will dictate amount of Corroseal® needed. Heavy rust depths require a longer cure to 48 hours before overcoating.

Limitations Keep from freezing. Apply at temperatures above 45°F and below 100°F.Do not thin. Wait 24 hours before topcoating. Do not

use with zinc chromate or zinc phosphates; test on galvanized surfaces including nails, galvanized corrugated sheet or pipe; do not use on chromate, copper powder, magnesium borate, graphite and or lead pigments. Do not use in direct contact with food. Test for tannin stainig before application of water-based topcoating. Must be topcoated for satisfactory marine or industrial service life and exposure to weather.
