Product Information
Full details
Fertan Rust Killer is designed for automotive enthusiasts, metalworkers, and maintenance professionals seeking a reliable way to neutralize corrosion on steel components. The primary benefit of this 500ml treatment is its ability to chemically transform active rust into a stable, inert black layer that prevents further decay and serves as an ideal base for primer or paint. While it offers industrial-grade protection for vehicles, vans, and bikes, users should note that the surface must be kept moist during the reaction phase, requiring careful monitoring for the best results.

FAQs
Can I use Fertan on non-ferrous metals?
Fertan is specifically formulated for iron and steel surfaces suffering from corrosion.
Do I need to sand the surface after application?
No, you do not need to sand the converted surface; simply wipe it clean with water and it is ready for paint.
How long does the conversion process take?
The conversion typically takes about 24 hours depending on the ambient temperature and humidity.
Is it safe to leave the treated surface exposed to weather?
While it protects against corrosion, it is highly recommended to paint over the converted surface for maximum, long-term weather resistance.
Can I apply it to a painted surface?
Fertan is intended for rusted metal; it will not work effectively over intact paint.
Troubleshooting
Surface did not turn black
The surface may have dried out too quickly; re-apply a fresh layer and keep the area slightly moist.
White powder residue after drying
This is normal reaction byproduct; simply wipe or wash the surface with water before applying primer.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Chemically neutralizes rust permanently
- Creates a perfect base for automotive paint
- Prevents structural degradation in steel
- Highly effective for hard-to-reach automotive areas
Cons
- Surface must be kept moist for optimal conversion
- Requires proper surface preparation of loose rust before use
- Requires painting or sealing over the converted surface for long-term outdoor exposure
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal results, follow these preparation and care guidelines:
- Surface Prep: Use a wire brush to remove loose rust flakes and degrease the surface thoroughly.
- Application: Apply the Fertan solution liberally to the affected metal surface.
- Curing: Monitor the area for approximately 24 hours. If the surface becomes dry too quickly, a light mist of water will keep the chemical reaction active.
- Cleaning: Once the reaction is complete (indicated by a uniform dark coating), wash the surface with water before applying any final paint or topcoat.
- Storage: Keep the bottle tightly sealed in a cool, dry place to maintain chemical potency for future use.
