Rust converting additives

Rust converter applied via paintbrush

Product Overview

ASCOTRUST® rust converter additives trap ferrous cations and react with them to form stable complexes, chemically bonded onto the metal substrate. This immobilisation stops rust migration through the film. These products are typically used in aqueous pigmented coatings.

Unlike tannic acid-based technologies, ASCOTRUST® is compatible with a wide range of binders and doesn't adversely affect the colour or anti-corrosion performance of the coating. 

They display excellent synergy with ASCOTRAN® anti-flash rust inhibitors and ASCONIUM® anti-corrosion additives. All products are easy to incorporate, VOC-free and Ecolabel compliant
