Permatex Rust Treatment – Professional Rust Converter & Protective Primer
Permatex Rust Treatment provides a fast and effective one-step solution for treating rusted metal surfaces. The advanced formula converts existing rust into a durable black polymer coating that protects metal from further corrosion while creating an excellent paintable primer. Instead of removing every trace of rust, simply apply the product to the affected area and let it chemically transform rust into a tough protective barrier.
This professional rust treatment works on automotive parts, industrial equipment, agricultural machinery, marine structures, trailers, storage tanks, pipes, valves, fences, guard rails, bulkheads, decks, hatch covers, tractors, snow removal equipment, and many other metal surfaces exposed to harsh environments.
Within 15–30 minutes, the treated rust changes into a black protective coating. Apply a second thin coat within 20 minutes for a more uniform finish. Allow the surface to cure for 24 hours before painting to achieve maximum protection and long-lasting durability.
Permatex Rust Treatment also serves as an excellent protective primer. The cured coating accepts most automotive and industrial paints, making restoration projects faster and more efficient. You can use it with body fillers and fiberglass repairs, making it suitable for automotive restoration, maintenance workshops, marine repairs, and industrial maintenance.
The product covers approximately 20 square feet (1.86 m²) and delivers reliable performance when applied between 10°C and 32°C (50°F to 90°F) on metal surfaces that do not exceed 93°C (200°F).
