Owatrol Oil, Rust Inhibitor And Oil-Based Paint Additive

OWATROL® OIL is a versatile, highly penetrating air drying oil that can be used alone or added to paint. Used alone it provides a tough, flexible finish, driving out excess moisture and air; displacing it from rusted metal, so stopping rust.Fills dry porous wood to stop paint peeling. Added to any oil or alkyd based coatings and it will give increased wet edge time, improved flow ability, greater adhesion and unlike damaging thinners, will maintain the inherent quality of the paint without affecting its appearance or drying times.

Properties

• Apply direct to rusted surfaces.
• Penetrates deep in to rusted surfaces to drive out moisture and air.
• Forms a solid stable layer that other paints can firmly adhere to.
• Completely seals sound underlying metal against corrosion.
• Compatible with all oil and alkyd based paints.
• Additive for all oil/alkyd based paints, stains and varnishes including urethane alkyd paints.
• Fills woods pores with oil – Prevents paint peeling.
• Assures better adhesion of finishes.
• Eases application of finishes in difficult conditions.
• Overcoat with OXID VERNIS* on rusted surfaces to maintain the rusted appearance longer.
• Improved flow ability – Increased wet edge time.

Surface Preparation

Paint ConditionerPrepare surface as per instructions on the paint can.Rust Inhibitor

• Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from oil, grease and other surface contaminants.
• Remove all mill glaze from new metal.
• Remove all loose and flaking rust and old paint back to a sound surface and edge.
• Feather in any sharp edges.
• Surfaces exposed to chemicals (acids, alkalis or salt deposits) should be washed using copious amounts of water or steam cleaned.
• Allow to fully dry (min 24 hours).
• New metal or severely contaminated surfaces should be cleaned using an appropriate solvent e.g. Acetone, Denatured Alcohol.

Do not remove firm rust. Do not clean metal back to a bright finish.

Application

PAINT CONDITIONERApply paint in normal manner.If paint is sticky, drags, sets up to fast or does not level properly add OWATROL® OIL (stirring in well) until the paint works smoothly, easily and evenly. Allow the brush, roller or sprayer to be your guide.Mixing instructionsTopcoat: As required. Normally 5% – 20% by volume.Undercoat: up to 30% by volume.Primer: up to 50% by volume.The above is meant as a guide only. Conditions of application, porosity of surface etc. will dictate the amount of OWATROL® OIL to be mixed into the paint.

Wood surfaces in sound condition

Prime any bare wood with a mix of OWATROL® OIL and primer. Allow to dry.Follow with normal paint system adding OWATROL® OIL as in “Mixing Instructions” above to ease application and aid adhesion.

Damaged, porous or punky wood surfaces

Apply 2 to 4 liberal applications of OWATROL® OIL wet on wet, as fast as the wood will absorb it.Do not allow OWATROL® OIL to dry between applications.When the wood cannot absorb any more wipe up any excess and allow to dry.Follow with normal paint system adding OWATROL® OIL as in “Mixing Instructions” above to ease application and aid adhesion.

RUST INHIBITOR

New Clean MetalPrime with a mix of 1 part OWATROL® OIL to 3 parts primer or 1 thin application of OWATROL® OIL.Follow with normal paint system adding OWATROL® OIL as in “Mixing Instructions” above to ease application and aid adhesion.Note: New metal is classed as pickled stock or metal that has been sandblasted to remove any mill glaze and is not rusty.Saturation is indicated by a uniform glossy appearance.Rusted or Spot Rusted SurfacesPrime surface with a mix of 1 part OWATROL® OIL to 2 parts primer or apply OWATROL® OIL wet-on-wet to saturation.Before this has hardened, check surfaces and remove any loose rust scale. Touch up these areas.Follow with normal paint system adding OWATROL® OIL to subsequent coats if required.Old Severely Rusted SurfacesApply wet on wet applications of OWATROL® OIL to all exposed rust until fully saturated.Before this has hardened, check surfaces and remove rust scale and old paint loosened by the above. Touch up these areas.Follow with normal paint system adding OWATROL® OIL as in “Mixing Instructions” above to ease application and aid adhesion.Note: OWATROL® OIL will not lift well bonded paint. Saturation is indicated by a uniform glossy appearance.Aerosol Can: Shake can vigorously until agitator ball is heard, thereafter shake for a further 2 to 3 minutes. Periodically shake during application.
