Owatrol Oil Rust Inhibitor & Oil Based Paint Additive – 5L

Description

Main Features:

• Rust inhibitor which penetrates deeply until it reaches the sound metal below
• Drives out moisture and air, stabilising the rust and preventing it from reforming
• Paint and wood stain additive for oil-based paints which improves the flow of paint and eliminates brush marks
• Improves paint adhesion and prevents cracking and peeling
• Improves uniformity and coverage of coat, up to 25% more
• Available in 500ml, 1L & 5L

Using Owatrol Oil as a paint conditioner

Mix Owatrol Oil into oil-based paints as a paint conditioner to get several great benefits. Firstly, it gives the paint rust inhibiting properties and helps prevent rust on painted surfaces (even when rust is already present). Secondly, it also improves the flow and workability of the paint. This means that you can maintain the ‘wet edge’ for longer, reducing brush and roller marks. Finally, it gives the paint a better viscosity allowing painting work to be carried out in a more extreme cold, hot and windy conditions. Unlike damaging paint thinners it does all this without altering the inherent qualities or the finish of the paint.

Using Owatrol Oil to aid adhesion

A bonding film is left on all surfaces Owatrol Oil is used on which maintains the natural look of the surface but allows enhanced adhesion, making it perfect as a foundation for primers or finishing coats. It gives excellent adhesion including on galvanised steel, aluminium, zinc, wood and more. Paint can be applied directly to firm rust when Owatrol Oil is used and is heat resistant up to +175°C.

Using Owatrol Oil as a rust inhibitor

Owatrol Oil penetrates through the rusted metal to the sound metal below, isolating it and protecting it from further rusting. Directly use on rusted surfaced – the penetrating oil drives out moisture and air and stabilises the metal to protect it from future damage.

Using Owatrol Oil for wood impregnation

When used on wood surfaces Owatrol Oil saturates the wood and protects it from damage caused by moisture. It also helps to prevent paint from peeling and protects metal parts such as hinges and latches from corrosion.

Ideal Uses for Owatrol Oil

• Priming galvanised surfaces with no need for weathering or pickling
• Preventing further damage in heavily rusted surfaces
• Improving paint flow when working in cold environments
• Preventing peeling paint on wood surfaces
• Protecting metal part on wood surfaces like gates and window frames
• Assuring better adhesion of finishes
