Rust-Converto™
Technical Data
Date Issued: July 3, 2000 |
| DESCRIPTION |
A water-based, film-forming
product that chemically transforms rust into an inert,
non-corrosive material. |
| USES |
Use on rusted steel surfaces
only where minimum surface preparation (scraping and wire
brushing) is practical. For mild industrial environments.
Not for immersion service. |
| APPEARANCE & ODOR |
Colored, opaque pigmented
liquid with slight odor. |
| RECOMMENDED TOPCOATS |
Rustonic, Rustonic-Mastic,
Rustcoat, Rustcoat-Mastic, Rustguard, Rustguard-Mastic,
Industrial Enamel - High Gloss, Semi-gloss, Flat and Metallic
Finishes. |
| COMPATIBLE TOPCOATS |
Rust-Converto can be top-coated
with any of Unity International's rust-preventive products
from the Classic or Eco lines, and many other solvent-based
finishes. However, for optimal performance with high performance
coatings, the surface preparation and primer recommendation
for those coatings should be followed. For water-based
finish coatings, a solvent-based primer should be used
first. |

| SPECIAL FIRE-FIGHTING PROCEDURES |
Polymer film can burn. Avoid
breathing fumes of burning coating because carbon dioxide/monoxide
may be released. Use full protective equipment including
self-contained breathing apparatus. Cool closed containers
with water. |
| UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION
HAZARDS |
Closed containers may explode
when exposed to extreme heat or fire. Decomposition of
burning material may cause toxic gases to form which may
include carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Material may
splatter if temperature exceeds 212°F. |

| HEALTH
HAZARD DATA |
| INHALATION HEALTH RISKS
AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE |
Lightheadedness, staggered
gait, headache, dizziness and nausea. Irritation to the
nose, throat and lungs. Prolonged inhalation may lead
to mucous membrane irritation, central system depression
or unconsciousness. |
SKIN AND EYE CONTACT
HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE |
Irritation and watering
of eyes. Prolonged or repeat contact can cause blurred
vision and corneal injury. |
SKIN ABSORPTION
HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS |
Irritation of skin, redness
and possible swelling. Prolonged or repeated contact can
cause dermatitis, de-fatting. Can be absorbed through
skin. |

| Cure |
Cure times will vary with ambient temperatures and percentage of catalyst used. |
UniGuard Coat may be over coated as soon as it has hardened
sufficiently to accept the weight of the next coat without sagging (1-3 hrs).
Full cure will take 72 hours @ 20-25°C, but immersion in seawater can be allowed after 24 hours. |
| Spark Testing |
Test at 5000 volts for each 40 mil thickness. |
| Colors |
Standard colors are Black, Off White & Light Grey. Custom colors are available to order. |
