| Product Description |
| |
BLUE RIVER COATINGS CONVERSION COATING is a water-based product that eliminates rust by accomplishing two functions at the same time. First, rust is converted to ferric iron, a black organic compound. Second, a coating of clear acrylic is formed over the coated area. The surface that remains after the transformation can be either left black or coated with Blue River Coatings wide range of products for the desired outcome. Product tests have shown that Blue River Conversion Coating has extended the life of equipment or products for several more years after probable replacement. Blue River Coatings Conversion Coating can be used on all rusted surfaces. |

| Environmental Advantages |
| |
BLUE RIVER COATINGS CONVERSION COATING is considered non-hazardous by EPA definitions and does not contain lead or chromates. The solid and semi-solid sludge produced in spraying and clean up can be flocculated; dried and sent to a “Class B” landfill. Check with your local and state regulations for proper handling. |

|
| Application |
| |
| 1. |
Stir contents before use. Never shake or stir under high agitation. |
| 2. |
Spraying: reduce with distilled water to 20-25 seconds Zahn #2. |
| 3. |
Apply with standard equipment-pressure or suction feed, air assisted airless, HVLP, LVLP or electrostatic. Atomization pressure depends on viscosity. Best performance is with an agitation pot. |
| 4. |
Brushing or rolling: reduce with distilled water to 30-38 seconds Zahn #2. |
| 5. |
Apply coating over entire rusted area and allow to dry completely. Coating will go from clear to black depending on the amount of rust present. The more rust/oxidation present, the darker the coating. |
| 6. |
Shelf life: 1 year. |
| 7. |
Do not store at/or below freezing 32°F.. |
|
| |
|
| Clean-Up |
| |
Use water for cleanup. If the coating dries in the spray equipment, solvents may have to be used for cleanup. If the internal parts of the spray equipment are not stainless steel, it is recommended that the gun be disassembled and allowed to air dry.. |
