Corrosion-Inhibiting

Coating Brochure Offered

By A.W. Chesterton

Chesterton Rust Transformer, a product of the A.W. Chesterton

Company's Industrial and Marine

Maintenance Division, changes iron oxide (rust) into a corrosion- inhibiting coating. The product eliminates the need for special equipment to sandblast or acid- treat metal for painting.

Rust Transformer provides a protective film against flash rust- ing. It is applied by (1) brushing or washing loose scale, flaking, paint, dirt or oils from a rusted surface; (2) brushing, rolling or spraying the Rust Transformer over the remaining rust on the surface; and (3) hosing down the excess Rust Transformer a day later, when the rust has turned blue-black.

What had been a rusted sur- face has become a protective mo- lecular film that inhibits further

Rust Transformer is sold in 3.8- liter (one gallon) plastic bottles, 20-liter (5.3 gallons) plastic pails and 208-liter (55 gallons) drums.
