METALFIX is a tough, fire-retardant
primer designed for application directly over badly rusted surfaces. It converts
the rust into a metal phosphate within the paint film and simultaneously forms
a protective abrasion-resistant skin which tolerates temperatures from minus 40
degrees C upto approximately 1000 degrees C. The coating can be used in conjunction
with glass fibre matting to repair non-structural rusted holes in surfaces including
steel water tanks, gutters, roof panels, and the trays of utilities or pick-up
trucks. METALFIX will take any type of topcoat.
COLOUR: Red and Black.
| SPECIAL FEATURES: |
| |
- Gives off no fumes
- Easy to spray or brush
- Goes over rusted steel with minimum preparation
- Gives stable surface plus tough paint skin
- Can take any top coat, if required
- Quick overcoating times.
|
|
- Water Wash Up (no solvents)
- No sandblasting required
- Non-toxic in the dry state
- Fire-retardant properties
- Single pack (no wasted mixes)
|
|
| HOW TO USE METALFIX: |
| |
|
| 1. Wire brush the surface to remove loose flakes
and scales. Do not remove all the rust. |
|
|
|
| 2. Wash down with fresh water to remove all
the dust and contaminants, allow to dry. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| 3. Apply two coats of METALFIX
(by brush, spray or roller). Wash equipment in water. Top coat if required when
cured. |
|
|
|
| 4. To see what happens to the rust, remove some
of the METALFIX just before it dries. |
|
|
| DOUBLE PROTECTION: |
| |
| Under a microscope the silver grey
surface reveals the conversion of the rust into a stable metal phosphate.
Secondary protection comes from the hard primer finish of the METALFIX
as it dries. |
|
|
|
| SAFETY DURING CUTTING AND WELDING: |
| |
|
| Normally painted steel sheets are dangerous and messy to flame
cut - the paint burns extensivly and emits toxic fumes. |
|
|
|
| METALFIX does not burn during cutting and virtually
no fumes are given off. |
|
|
| HEAT RESISTANCE OF METALFIX: |

| OIL & MINING INDUSTRIES: |
| |
|
| The rusted mud guards were repaired with fibre glass patches
impregnated with METALFIX. |

|
|
| This Ute was totally rusted, but after the METALFIX
treatment, the vehicle still looks perfect over 10 years later. |

"METALFIX" RUST CONVERTING PAINT
I felt I had to let you know how very successful your METALFIX
paint has been on my old Toyota ute (Old Joe). It has now been ten (10) years
since I repaired a lot of the body that was completely rusted away, using glass
fibre and METALFIX paint.
There is still a 100% bond between the rusted metal and the METALFIX
paint glass fibre application. Where the METALFIX paint was applied
to other rusty parts of the truck, there has been no further rust deterioration.

Enclosed you will find a few photographs that may
be of interest to you, the early ones were taken 10 years ago just after I carried
out the original repairs, and the last photo was taken earlier this year, from
which you can see that there has been no deterioration in the paint (see
above).
I can guarantee that there has been no re-touching of the paint, and that the
excellent condition of the paint is real and genuine.
Yours faithfully,
NEVILLE WILLSEA
