White Knight Rust Guard Rust Converter

125ml
500ml
1L

White Knight Rust Guard Rust Converter is a rust treatment that neutralises rust and converts it into a stable, paintable surface. It forms a protective barrier that helps prevent further corrosion and improves adhesion for primers and topcoats. Suitable for lightly rusted steel and ferrous metals, it is ideal where rust cannot be fully removed. Once dry, surfaces should be overcoated as part of a complete Rust Guard system.

Features

  • Neutralises rust to create a stable, paintable surface
  • Forms a rust-inhibiting barrier for long-lasting protection
  • Prepares rusted surfaces for priming and topcoating
  • Fast and effective chemical reaction – complete in 2–3 hours
  • Promotes strong adhesion for subsequent paint applications

How to Apply

  • For best results, use the recommended White Knight products and follow the step-by-step guide below.
    • Remove all loose rust, scale and flaking paint using a wire brush, scraper or sandpaper

    • Do not polish back to clean metal — light rust must remain for the product to react

    • Ensure surface is clean, dry and free from dust, grease, oil and contaminants

    Do not apply to clean bare metal or non ferrous surfaces.

    • Shake or stir well before use

    • Pour required amount into a separate container (do not return unused product)

    • Apply evenly by brush to rusted areas only

    • Work into pits, seams and affected areas to ensure full coverage

    Do not apply too thick: a thin, even coat ensures proper chemical reaction.
    Avoid application in direct sun or on hot surfaces.

    • Coverage: approximately 10m² per litre (lower on rough or heavily rusted surfaces)

    • Reaction time: 2 to 3 hours

    • Surface will turn blue black as conversion occurs

    • Allow to fully dry before overcoating
