Product Details

Galmet Ironize is a fast reacting rust converter and sealer which can be applied directly to a rusty surface.

Galmet Ironize is used where it is impossible or impractical to remove rust before painting. Once treated with Galmet Ironize the rusted surface does not require the application of a Cold Galvanizing product.

Cold Galvanizing needs to be applied directly to clean steel. Clean up and use of Galmet Ironize is easy because it is water based. Galmet Ironize does not need to be rinsed off the surface before top-coating like other similar products on the market.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a rust converter and rust paint?

A rust converter, like Galmet Ironize, is used when rust is already present. It chemically stabilises the rust so the surface can be primed and coated. Rust paints, such as Galmet RustPaint, are protective topcoats designed to prevent corrosion on new or properly prepared steel.

Can I use Galmet ColdGal over Ironize?

No. Galmet ColdGal must be in direct contact with clean steel. If applied over Ironize, it cannot provide galvanic protection. For cold galvanizing, apply Galmet ColdGal directly to clean steel surfaces.

Do I still need a primer after using Galmet Ironize?

Yes. For full protection, Galmet Ironize should be followed by a suitable Galmet primer. Use Galmet Keytite Steel Primer on steel surfaces or Galmet Keytite Etch Primer on galvanised or zinc-coated steel.

How long does Galmet Ironize take to dry before priming?

Galmet Ironize is typically touch dry in 30 minutes and ready for priming after 3 hours under normal conditions. Drying times may vary with temperature and humidity.

How much area does Galmet Ironize cover?

One litre of Galmet Ironize covers approximately 8m², depending on surface condition and application method.
