Teamac Rust Converter is a water-based chemical rust stabiliser designed to stabilise and stop the rusting process on hard-to-remove rust on metal prior to painting. Unlike mechanical rust removal that requires grinding and wire brushing, this chemical formulation converts rust into a stable black surface ready for painting, saving time and labour whilst protecting metal from further corrosion.
Developed by Teamac with over 115 years of British coating expertise, Rust Converter is the professional solution for rusted gates, railings, wrought iron, agricultural equipment, and industrial machinery where complete rust removal is impractical. The water-based formulation chemically halts the rusting process, converting iron oxide into a stable surface that primers and paints can adhere to.
When metal surfaces develop hard-to-remove rust, complete mechanical removal is time-consuming, labour-intensive, and often impractical. Teamac Rust Converter's chemical rust stabilisation eliminates grinding and wire brushing, converting rust into a stable black surface whilst stopping further corrosion. This saves time, reduces labour costs, and protects metal from ongoing deterioration.
The water-based formulation applies milky white and dries to a black stable surface, providing visual confirmation of rust conversion. The low VOC content (24 g/L) and water cleanup make it safe for occupied spaces and easy to use. Coverage of 10 m² per litre makes it cost-effective for large rusted areas.
Suitable for rusted iron, steel, wrought iron, and metal surfaces in residential, commercial, and industrial environments. Remove loose rust and flaking material with wire brush, apply Rust Converter, allow to dry, then prime with metal primers (SPO All Metals Primer, Teamac Zinc Phosphate Primer) and topcoat with metal paints (Teamac Metalcote, Teamac Industrial Coatings).
Manufactured in the UK to rigorous standards and trusted by property owners, maintenance contractors, agricultural workers, and industrial maintenance teams for reliable rust stabilisation on hard-to-remove rust.
Key Benefits:
• Chemical Rust Stabilisation – Chemically converts hard-to-remove rust into stable black surface ready for painting. Stops rusting process and prevents further corrosion. Eliminates need for complete mechanical rust removal.
• No Grinding Required – Saves time and labour by eliminating grinding and extensive wire brushing. Simply remove loose rust, apply converter, and paint. Ideal for hard-to-remove rust on complex metalwork.
• Water-Based Easy Application – Water-based formulation is low VOC (24 g/L) and safe for occupied spaces. Easy application by brush, roller, or spray. Water cleanup eliminates solvent handling. DIY-friendly and professional-grade.
• Visual Confirmation – Applies milky white and dries to black stable surface. Visual colour change confirms rust conversion. Easy to see coverage and ensure complete treatment.
• Stops Further Corrosion – Chemically halts rusting process and protects metal from ongoing deterioration. Extends metal lifespan and reduces replacement costs. Prevents rust spreading to adjacent areas.
• Ready for Painting – Creates stable surface that primers and paints can adhere to. Recoat after 8 hours with water-based topcoats or 24 hours with solvent-based topcoats. Compatible with metal primers and paints.
• Cost-Effective Coverage – Coverage of 10 m² per litre makes it economical for large rusted areas. Saves labour costs compared to mechanical rust removal. Reduces metal replacement expenses.
• Teamac Heritage – Over 115 years of British coating expertise. Trusted by property owners, maintenance contractors, and industrial teams for reliable rust stabilisation.
