Fertan Rust Converter provides you with the simple and safe way to treat and remove rust and corrosion from steel and iron. Fertan is suitable for treating steel and iron surfaces, even if they will be left for weeks or even months prior to final painting. Rust is removed and prevented from re-forming for up to six months so delays in your painting schedule will not be a disaster. Fertan can be overcoated with oil or water based paints, epoxy, wax, chlorinated rubber and lacquer.

Fertan converts loose rust to powder that can be rinsed away leaving a converted, stable and inert surface. When kept in closed containers and reasonable conditions Fertan has an unlimited shelf life.

The Fertan rust converter treatment helps remove loose rust fast and converts more stable rust to a super hard glossy black shield to help give long lasting protection to all iron surfaces. Fertan rust converter instantly starts converting rust into a new rust-proof surface that you can actually see in action as the rust changes colour. The idea is to convert, conserve and retain as much of the original material as possible. You can leave the Fertan-treated surface glossy black after treatment or paint the repair at a future time.

Made from the highest quality ingredients, Fertan Rust Converter has for many years provided a tremendously effective way to treat rust in any situation. Safe and easy to use it totally destroys rust and nothing but the rust. Fertan is suitable for almost every situation where steel or iron is used, producing the desired results time after time. Users of Fertan are situated everywhere from Iceland to Australia and most places between.

The purpose of Fertan is to provide you with all the benefits of shot blasting with no surface damage and no material loss. The advantage is that it can be achieved by just unscrewing the top of the container and immediately apply using a brush or spray.

As there is no blasting the process is nuisance free and silent. You are able to observe and be sure that all the rust has been converted before applying opaque paint coats. Fertan when kept in closed containers and reasonable conditions has an unlimited shelf life.

Application is simple and safe:
Brush off loose rust and remove dirt, oil or silicone products that will prevent Fertan reaching the metal surface. Apply Fertan by brush, roller or spray and leave for 24 hours, extending this to 48 hours in low temperatures. The treated surface can now be rinsed off and overpainted. The overpainting can be left for weeks, months or years depending on the environmental conditions.

Available in 250ML, 500ML, 1.0L & 5.0L.
