A water-based, non-toxic and fire-retardant primer for heavy rust. METALFIX is a tough, fire-retardant primer designed for application directly over badly rusted surfaces.

It converts the rust into a metal phosphate within the paint film and simultaneously forms a protective abrasion-resistant skin which tolerates temperatures from minus 40 degrees C up to approximately 1000 degrees, C. The coating can be used in conjunction with glass fibre matting to repair non-structural rusted holes in surfaces including steel water tanks, gutters, roof panels, and the trays of utilities or pick-up trucks. METALFIX will take any type of topcoat.

Special Features:

• Give off no fumes
• Easy to spray or brush
• Goes over rusted steel with minimum preparation
• Gives stable surface plus tough paint skin
• Can take any top coat, if required
• Quick overcoating times
• Water Wash Up(no solvents)
• No sandblasting required
• Non-toxic in the dry state
• Fire-retardant properties
• Single pack(no wasted mixes)

We also recomment MetalFix 1000 for light rust and a protector for new steel...
