🛡️ Morph It MetalGuard Rust Conversion Coating

Rust-Converting Coating That Chemically Stabilizes Corrosion and Prepares Metal for Oil-Based Paint

Overview
Morph It MetalGuard Rust Conversion Coating is a surface-applied rust treatment designed to chemically transform active corrosion into a durable, inert protective layer. Rather than simply covering rust, the formula reacts with iron oxide to create a matte, hydrophobic barrier that seals the surface from moisture and oxygen, helping slow further oxidation.

Once cured, the treated metal becomes suitable for oil-based paint systems, allowing the coating to function as both a rust converter and a preparatory surface conditioner. The product is designed for use on industrial, structural, automotive, agricultural, and marine metal surfaces exposed to weather, salt air, and environmental stress.

✅ What This Product Is Used For
• Converting active rust into a stable, non-rusting surface
• Sealing metal against moisture and environmental exposure
• Preparing rusted metal for oil-based paint application
• Reducing corrosion on exposed or weathered metal
• Extending the service life of metal equipment and structures

❌ What This Product Is Not For
• Not compatible with water-based paints
• Not a decorative finish or topcoat
• Not intended for clean, unrusted metal only
• Not designed for continuous immersion environments
• Not a lubricant or corrosion inhibitor for moving parts

⚙️ Key Performance Advantages
• Chemically converts rust instead of masking it
• Forms a hydrophobic, moisture-resistant barrier
• Reduces the need for sandblasting or grinding
• Functions as a primer for oil-based coatings
• Suitable for harsh outdoor and marine environments

🏗 / 🚜 / ⚓ Common Use Applications
• Industrial equipment and machinery
• Structural steel and metal railings
• Vehicles, trailers, and transport equipment
• Marine docks and coastal hardware
• Pipelines, storage tanks, and fencing
• Construction and farm equipment

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How does this coating stop rust?
It reacts chemically with existing rust, converting it into a stable compound that seals the metal surface and reduces further oxidation.

Does rust need to be removed before application?
Loose debris should be removed, but heavy sanding or sandblasting is not required.

Can this be painted over?
Yes. After curing, the surface is compatible with oil-based paint systems only.

How long does the coating take to cure?
Allow approximately 48 hours of cure time before applying paint.

Is this suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. It is designed to resist rain, sun exposure, and salt spray when applied as directed.

What color does the converted surface become?
The rust is converted into a dark, matte protective layer prior to painting.

🧪 Active Ingredient(s) or Core Composition
• Tannic Acid – Chemically converts rust into a stable compound
• Oxalic Acid – Enhances surface reaction and rust conversion
• 2-Butoxyethanol – Penetrates rust layers for effective treatment
• Polymer Binder – Forms a protective, moisture-resistant film
• Water – Carrier for controlled chemical reaction

📌 Directions for Use (Summary)
Apply two even coats to the rusted surface.
Allow at least 20 minutes of drying time between coats.
After application, allow 48 hours of curing before applying oil-based paint.
One gallon typically covers approximately 500 square feet on smooth, non-porous surfaces; porous or irregular surfaces may require additional product.
Protect from freezing and temperatures above 100°F.

⚠️ Safety & Handling
May cause harm through prolonged or repeated exposure. Use in a well-ventilated area. Wear protective gloves and eye protection during handling and application. Avoid contact with eyes and prolonged skin exposure. Keep out of reach of children. Follow standard precautions for acidic surface treatment products.
