Owatrol Oil Rust Inhibitor & Oil Paint Additive

Description

Owatrol Oil Rust Inhibitor & Paint Additive is a versatile, highly penetrating air drying oil that can be used alone or added to paint. Used alone as a rust inhibitor it provides a tough, flexible finish, driving out excess moisture and air; displacing it from rusted metal, so stopping rust dead in its tracks. Used alone on porous wood surfaces Owatrol Oil Rust Inhibitor will saturate and protect the wood from damage caused by moisture and prevent paint from peeling.

When added as a paint conditioner to any oil or alkyd based coatings and it will give increased wet edge time, improved flow ability, greater adhesion and unlike damaging thinners, will maintain the inherent quality of the paint without affecting its appearance or drying times allowing you to achieve a more professional finish.

As a Rust Inhibitor

Owatrol Oil penetrates through the rusted metal to the sound metal below, isolating it and protecting it from further rusting. It can be used directly on the rusted surfaces – it drives out moisture and air and stabilises the metal to protect it from future damage.

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 on various surfaces, including 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.

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 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 more extreme weather conditions. Unlike damaging paint thinners, it does all this without altering the inherent qualities or the finish of the paint.

Please note that if you are looking for a product to give this effect but for water-based paints then consider using Owatrol Floetrol instead as this product is designed for use in any water-based paint – whereas Owatrol Oil is designed for use in oil-based paints.

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.
