Chesterton Rust Transformer, a product of the A.W. Chesterton Company's Industrial and Marine Maintenance Division, changes iron oxide (rust) into a corrosion-inhibiting coating. The product eliminates the need for special equipment to sandblast or acid-treat metal for painting.
Rust Transformer provides a protective film against flash rusting. It is applied by (1) brushing or washing loose scale, flaking, paint, dirt or oils from a rusted surface; (2) brushing, rolling or spraying the Rust Transformer over the remaining rust on the surface; and (3) hosing down the excess Rust Transformer a day later, when the rust has turned blue-black.
What had been a rusted surface has become a protective molecular film that inhibits further rusting. It can be coated with a primer immediately. The product has been used successfully in marine applications on seagoing shipping.
Rust Transformer is sold in 3.8-liter (one gallon) plastic bottles, 20-liter (5.3 gallons) plastic pails and 208-liter (55 gallons) drums.
