What is rust converter?

Rust converter is a product used to treat rusted metal surfaces and stop further rusting. It works by converting the iron oxide (rust) into a stable compound that prevents further corrosion.

Rust converters typically contain tannic acid or phosphoric acid, which react with the rust to form a protective coating on the metal surface. They also contain polymer resins that help seal and protect the treated area.

Rust converters are commonly used on vehicles, machinery, tools, and other metal surfaces that have been affected by rust. They are easy to apply, usually in the form of a brush-on or spray-on product, and require minimal preparation of the rusted surface before application.

It is important to note that rust converters are not a permanent solution to rust problems, as they only treat the surface rust and do not restore the metal to its original condition. In some cases, additional rust prevention methods, such as priming and painting, may be necessary to fully protect the metal from future corrosion.
