Hammerite No.1 Rust Beater Primer 250 ml

Hammerite No.1 Rust Beater Primer is a specialized anti-corrosive coating engineered to halt existing rust and create a stable, durable foundation for subsequent paint layers. This 250 ml primer is formulated to be applied directly onto rusted metal surfaces, where it chemically seals the area to prevent the progression of corrosion. By providing a high-performance barrier, it ensures that your metal projects remain protected against the elements while promoting superior adhesion for topcoats.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this primer is its ability to be applied directly over rust, which significantly reduces the time and effort required for surface preparation. It acts as a powerful sealant that stops the oxidation process, effectively extending the lifespan of metal objects. The primer creates a smooth and uniform surface that enhances the finish and durability of the final paint application, making it an essential component for both interior and exterior metal maintenance.

Suitable for

• Metal gates and fences
• Garden furniture and decorative metalwork
• Railings and metal posts
• Various interior and exterior metal surfaces

When it may not be suitable

This product is specifically designed for metal surfaces and is not suitable for use on wood, plastic, or masonry. It should not be applied to surfaces that are subject to extreme heat, such as exhaust pipes or wood-burning stoves, as the formulation is not heat-resistant.

Key specifications

• Volume: 250 ml

How to use

Before application, ensure the surface is free from loose rust, dirt, and grease by using a wire brush or sandpaper. Stir the primer thoroughly before use.
