Brunox Epoxy Rust Converter & Primer 1 Litre

1. Product description:

Patented anti-corrosion and primer-system in one, the world’s first rust stop
and primer in one with epoxy resin. The ORIGINAL in a spray can.
Developed for the industry, mechanics and ambitious DIY.
BRUNOX® Epoxy in Brushing / Industrial Quality
Applicable with brush, roller, dipping or for industrial use to be sprayed with a
spray gun or with airless devices.

2. Effect:

The rust is neutralized. BRUNOX® forms with iron and rust a metal-organic
iron complex. The developing black, somewhat compact and durable
protective layer provides a long-term corrosion protection and is, thanks to the
enrichment with epoxy resin, simultaneously a primer.

3. Field of application:

Wherever rust accumulates in iron and steel – indoors and outdoors.
Not suitable for underwater application.

4. Application
temperature:

Ideal temperature: room temperature 20 °C,
Do not use spray below 10 °C,
Brushing / Industrial quality: do not use below 10 °C.

5. Application
environment

Application outdoors:
Wait for good, stable weather conditions. Ensure that during application and
drying, no
– dew
– rain can set on the BRUNOX® Epoxy layer.
Application indoors: Ensure good ventilation!

6. Preparing areas
affected by rust:

Remove loose rust, grease, dirt and subsurface corroded colour (wire brush,
sandpaper, grinding machine, dry ice, water or sand blasting).
Derusting must be done according to DIN 55928 part 4, purity grade ST 2 or, if
necessary, according to SA 2 1/2. Scale and rust may remain visible only as a
slight tint due to shading of pores.

8. Drying time:

The usual precautionary measures are to be adhered to when handling
chemicals.
Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.
Do not inhale gases / fumes / aerosols.

Respiratory protection:
Use suitable respiratory protective device in case of insufficient ventilation.
In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case
of intensive or longer
exposure use self-contained respiratory protective device.

Short term filter device:

Filter A/P2, Filter AX
Protection of hands: Material of gloves: Nitrile rubber, NBR, Butyl rubber, BR
Eye protection: Tightly sealed goggles
Required material is filled into a working cup. Do not fill excess amount back
into the original can, but keep it separately in a well-sealed box for further use.
BRUNOX® Epoxy Brushing / Industrial Quality
is applied by brush or roller evenly in not too thick layers, always in the same
direction and overlapping.

Industrial application:

Spray gun or airless possible. Processed as with
aerosol can.
BRUNOX® Epoxy Brushing / Industrial Quality can be thinned with 8%
acetone.
After about 2 hours (at room temp./20 °C), BRUNOX® Epoxy is dust-dry.
Apply a 2nd layer BRUNOX® Epoxy on the dust-dry layer, however not later
than after 6 hours. Let this second BRUNOX® Epoxy layer dry, *until it is
fingernail-hard, i.e. pressing down your fingernail into the layer leaves no
impression.
BRUNOX® Epoxy Spray is sprayed on from a distance of about 25cm in 3-4
instances, cross-wise. After the first spraying, let the BRUNOX® Epoxy Spray
dry for about 30-40 minutes, and after the 2nd spraying, let it dry until both

layers are dust-dry. Then the following layers are applied again with a time-
lapse of about 30-40 minutes.

The last layer of BRUNOX® Epoxy Spray is dried until it has dried completely,
i.e. until it is fingernail-hard*.

The BRUNOX® Epoxy layer is violable while it dries. Therefore it must be
ensured that it cannot take any mechanical damage and that no silicone,
PTFE, or dust can settle on the BRUNOX® Epoxy layer.

9. Further processing:

10. Cleaning the
working devices:

When applied outdoors, the BRUNOX® Epoxy layer must be protected against
dew and rain. Apply, if possible, at pleasant temperatures and stable weather
conditions.
– If temperatures should drop below 20 °C during the application, the air humidity
will rise significantly and the drying time will be longer than 24 hours.
–
– If BRUNOX® Epoxy is applied too thick, the drying phase will also be much
longer.
– Speed up drying phase:
– After letting it flash off for at least two hours after the last BRUNOX® Epoxy
layer has been applied, drying can be speeded up with a heat lamp or a dryer.
It can also be cured for 10 minutes at 180 °C.

No washing!
No sanding!
No cleaning the surface with silicone removers!
The application of a primer is omitted!
After the protective layer has dried completely (fingernail-hard), a topcoat must
be applied.
If necessary fillers (polyester, glass fibre or fine filler) can also be applied.
The compatibility with putties, fillers and topcoats must be checked:
Nitro-containing or water based systems are not recommended:
The use of nitro-containing topcoats is not recommended since they
may attack or displace the BRUNOX® Epoxy layer.
Should water-based topcoats be applied in the outdoor area, further
coatings must be applied.
Recommendation: Resin and iron oxide (strongly pigmented) colours offered
for outdoor use.
Dual-Component-Systems:
Here it is advisable to previously test topcoats and fillers for compatibility.
Compatible with almost all commercial systems, which do not necessarily
require their own line.
In case of applications that require very strong adherence (e.g.
window glue, etc.) or if you do not want to test compatibility (e.g. in
case of additional primer, 2-C-systems, etc.) the BRUNOX® Epoxy

layer has to be sanded down after it has completely dried (fingernail-
hard) so far that only the neutralized rust remains.

The brush can be cleaned immediately after use with soap and water; later with
a brush cleaner / universal thinner.
Industrial application: spray guns and airless pumps can be cleaned with
acetone, which can be used again for further dilution.
