Rustbuster FE-123 Rust Converter

fe-123 Rust Converter

High acid rust converters have been very popular in the treatment of rest but have shown only limited success in its prevention.  Rustbuster fe-123 uses modern rust conversion technology contained in an eco-friendly compliant binder, containing zinc phosphate.

High acid rust converters leave residual acid in the steel’s pores and this causes failure due to osmotic blistering.  Often this cannot be removed by neutralising with fresh water and because of this introduces a new problem to the steelwork.  For true passivation to occur, the reaction within the rust layers needs to be homogenous.

Due to its high molecular weight fe-123 can attract and incorporate several iron atoms.  In addition each single atom can be linked to three different molecules with fe-123.

The Result……..

fe-123 envelopes rust at a molecular level, developing into a neutral layer which exists between the steel’s surface and the atmosphere.  The neutral layer prevents the migration of ions so that no chemical reaction can occur at the metal’s surface.  Recent independent testing by ‘Practical Classics’ magazine April 2011 proved that fe-123 not only converted the rust but also left a foundation that could be painted over without neutralising and came ‘BEST IN TEST’ scoring ten out of a possible ten points.  We were also awarded Best in Test by ‘Classics Monthly’ in their 2011 long term test results.

Where to use fe-123………

Inject fe-123 into hidden cavities, prior to injecting a cavity rust proofing wax, on rusted steel and components, on moving parts, nuts, bolts, drive shafts, universal joints, leaf springs, railway hardware, radio masts, gas and oilfield pipelines, and on all exposed steel in aggressive environments.  Dilute as a dipping system or as a primer prior to using conventional paint coatings over rusty or badly pitted steel.
