Rust converter BRUNOX BE05 1 L — epoxy anti-corrosive fast-drying formula

BRUNOX BE05 1 L is a rust converter formulated with epoxy components to chemically transform oxidised iron surfaces into a stable protective layer and to provide corrosion protection prior to further treatment. The fast-drying formula facilitates quicker handling and reduces downtime when maintaining or repairing metal parts. The product is intended for use on ferrous surfaces such as structural elements, fences, tools and other metal items where rust conversion and surface stabilisation are required before painting or coating.

Advantages

The epoxy-based composition offers strong adhesion to rusted substrates and yields a consolidated layer that reduces further oxidation. Fast-drying properties allow subsequent coatings or paints to be applied sooner than with conventional treatments. BRUNOX BE05 also simplifies preparation by eliminating the need for complete mechanical removal of rust in many cases, improving efficiency for maintenance and refurbishment tasks.

Suitable for

• Restoring and stabilising rusted structural metal parts
• Preparing fences, gates and railings for repainting
• Protecting hand and power tools from progressive corrosion
• Pre-treatment of ironwork prior to primer or topcoat application

Key specifications

• Volume: 1 litre
• Base: epoxy-containing rust converter
• Function: chemical conversion of rust and corrosion protection
• Drying behaviour: fast-drying formula suitable for follow-up coatings
• Suitable substrates: ferrous metals (rusted iron and steel)

How to use

Ensure the substrate is dry and free from loose scale, grease and oils before application. Remove loose rust and flaking material with a wire brush or scraper; surface profile is acceptable where firmly adherent rust remains. Apply BRUNOX BE05 evenly to the affected area using a brush, roller or suitable applicator following the manufacturer’s instructions for coverage. Allow the product to dry fully according to ambient conditions and the stated drying time before applying primers or topcoats. Dispose of any unused product and containers according to local regulations.

Usage recommendations

For best results, perform a small test area first to confirm adhesion and compatibility with the selected topcoat. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, ensure adequate ventilation during application and avoid use at temperatures outside the manufacturer's recommended range.
