Designed for use on hand or mechanically prepared rusty ferrous surfaces, it converts low level surface corrosion into an inert substrate, providing a sound base for subsequent painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRC46 is particularly well suited to structural steel and objects that are difficult to blast clean, including railings, fencing, guttering, and outdoor fixtures. It can be applied over slightly damp surfaces and produces a water resistant film with good anticorrosive properties. The product colour changes from white to black on contact with rust, providing a clear visual indicator that rust conversion has taken place.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNon-flammable and low odour, RC46 is supplied ready to use and can be applied by brush, roller, or spray. Manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified management systems, it offers a reliable and practical solution for treating surface rust on ferrous structures of all kinds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConverts low level corrosion into an inert substrate ready for painting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eColour changes from white to black confirming rust conversion has taken place\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProvides excellent anticorrosive protection to treated ferrous surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eForms a water resistant film for lasting protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIdeal for railings, fencing, guttering, and fixtures that cannot be blast cleaned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEffective on surfaces prepared by hand or mechanical wire brushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for use in conditions where surfaces cannot be fully dried before treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMinimum application temperature down to 10°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWater-based formula with no flash point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSafe and comfortable to use in enclosed or occupied spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArea\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInterior or exterior\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended Use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStructural steel mechanically prepared to SIS St 3 by wire brush, disc, or hand abrading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRailings, fencing, guttering, and outdoor fixtures difficult to blast clean\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMachinery and industrial equipment with surface rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAll hand or mechanically prepared rusty ferrous surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSurfaces that are slightly damp where immediate painting is not possible\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAny ferrous surface requiring passivation of surface rust prior to painting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater Based\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoverage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 20 m² per Litre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrying Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSurface dry 30 minutes, full cure 7 days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRe-Coat Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 hours minimum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended Coats\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 full coat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication Method\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrush, roller or sprayer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClean Up\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClean all equipment with clean water immediately after use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePreparation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRemove all heavy rust scale, loose material, grease, oil, and dirt from the surface before application\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrepare the surface mechanically to SIS St 3 standard using a wire brush, disc grinder, or hand abrading tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe surface should be free from heavy rust scale but need not be perfectly dry — RC46 can be applied over slightly damp surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnsure minimum application conditions are met — surface temperature must be at least 10°C and no more than 60% relative humidity, and at least 3°C above the dew point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStir the product thoroughly before use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApplication and use should conform to BS 6150 and BS 5493 codes of practice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eApplication\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStir thoroughly before use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApply one full coat to the prepared surface — brush application is strongly recommended for best performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe product will change colour from white to black where rust conversion has taken place\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAllow a minimum of 30 minutes surface drying time before overcoating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMinimum overcoating time is 3 hours — there is no maximum overcoating time\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAllow 7 days for full cure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThinning Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrush \u0026amp; Roller:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supplied ready for use.
