Description of the PRO-Paint Rust Converter

PRO-Paint Rust convertor is a rust stabiliser and primer layer in one. Highly suitable for repairing rust spots on machinery, vehicles and other metal objects. The unique formula based on a Polyvinyl butyral, forms a very strong metal-organic iron compound with iron and rust. Thanks to the deep penetration in the rust and the very good protective film that forms, this formula ensures further processing is both efficient and easy. PRO-Paint Rust converter is free of heavy metals and mineral acids.
