Tectyl™ 5401W RC

Premium water based, rust converter

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.
