Tectyl 5401W RC (Rust Converter) is a milky white-cream liquid, based on water reducible chelating polymers. It does not contain phosphoric acid. Tectyl 5401W RC can be used on rusted steel and sandblasted steel as a pre-coating preparation. It is compatible with most paint types and coating systems, such as alkyd systems, modified alkyds, chlorinated rubber, epoxies, polyurethanes, and vinyl’s. The product is non-hazardous, non-flammable. Tectyl 5401W RC can be applied on all rusted steel surfaces before painting or repainting when preparation by sandblasting is a problem, e.g. cargo holds, decks, hatch covers, superstructures, pipelines, winches, rails, etc. Tectyl 5401W RC can also be used on sandblasted surfaces to prevent or passivate ‘flash rust.’ It’s also particularly suitable for use in the highly corrosive marine atmosphere.
Benefits and application considerations
- Convert corrosion Tectyl 5401W RC converts corrosion. After application the substrate is suitable to be (re)painted or protected with a Tectyl corrosion protectant.
- Environment Tectyl 5401W RC is a water-based compound.
- Efficient Tectyl 5401W RC can convert up to 20 m² per liter.
Surface preparation
The maximum performance of Tectyl 5401W RC can be achieved only when the metal surfaces to be protected are clean, dry and free of oil and mill scale. CorPro recommends a substrate temperature of 10-35 °C at the time of product application.
Application
Tectyl 5401W RC is formulated to be used as supplied. Ensure uniform consistency prior to use. Continued stirring is generally not required. Do not thin Tectyl 5401W RC. CorPro recommends that the ambient and product temperature be 10-35°C at the time of product application. For application Tectyl 5401W RC CorPro recommends low pressure air spraying using a stainless-steel piston pump. Tectyl 5401W RC can also be applied with a brush. Details on application can be found in the application chart.
Removal
Tectyl 5401W RC cannot be removed.
