Rusted metal is porous so care must be taken to ensure that the metal is completely clean and dry. Blooming rust should be knocked down and a solvent used to help remove contaminants like grease or oils and the solvent will help draw out moisture. Coating and sealing moisture in the pores of metal can cause failure of any coating.
Everbrite™ Protective Coating provides the following benefits to rusted metal with every application:
-
Eliminate staining of surrounding areas from unsightly runoff and stains. Rusty drips on other substrates can ruin the look of a building.
-
Eliminate transfer of rust to people (hands & clothing).
-
Helps to extend the life of the steel by sealing out moisture that can cause further corrosion.
-
Give the surface a more finished, purposeful look.
-
Excellent adhesion on naturally or artificially rusted surfaces.

Everbrite™ will seal moisture out of rusted metal to help prevent further corrosion and will prevent rust stains. On most metals, two coats of Everbrite™ Clear Protective Coating are recommended.

Everbrite™ will seal the metal and will look great for years and can be maintained indefinitely.The metal MUST be completely dry before applying the coating.
