WHY CHOOSE FERONIX RUSTCON?

Rust Conversion Technology

Chemically converts iron oxide rust into a stable protective layer.

Ideal for Heavy Rust

Designed for surfaces where complete rust removal is difficult.

Water-Based Formula

Eco-friendly, non-flammable and easy to use formulation.

Anti-Corrosive Protection

Provides a protective coating that resists corrosion.

Ready to Use (Single Component)

No mixing required. Just stir and apply.

Cost Effective Solution

Reduces the need for expensive blasting or grinding.

Easy Application

Apply using brush, roller or spray for uniform coverage.

Pre-Paint Treatment

Creates an ideal base for primer and topcoat application.

How FERONIX RUSTCON Works

Our advanced tannic acid based formula reacts with rust and converts it into a stable, inert compound that strongly bonds to the metal surface and prevents further corrosion.

1
Remove Loose Rust
Remove heavy/loose rust scale, dust and loose contaminants using a wire brush.
2
Apply Rustcon
Apply FERONIX RUSTCON using brush, roller, or spray.
3
Chemical Conversion
RUSTCON reacts with iron oxide and converts it into a stable protective layer.
4
Allow to Dry
Let the surface dry as per the recommended drying time.
5
Apply Primer
Apply a compatible FERONIX primer after drying.
6
Apply Topcoat
Finish with a FERONIX topcoat for long-term protection.

BEFORE & AFTER

FERONIX RUSTCON chemically converts rust into a stable, inert compound so heavily rusted metal can be primed and painted with confidence.

RUSTKLEEN vs RUSTCON

FERONIX RUSTKLEEN

(Rust Remover Solution)
FERONIX RUSTKLEEN
  • Removes rust and oxidation
  • Removes light oil & contaminants
  • Surface cleaning treatment
  • Ideal where rust can be removed
  • Dipping / swabbing application
  • Provides temporary rust protection
VS

FERONIX RUSTCON

(Rust Converter Chemical)
FERONIX RUSTCON
  • Converts existing rust
  • Designed for heavily rusted surfaces
  • Chemical rust conversion treatment
  • Ideal where rust removal is impractical
  • Brush / roller / spray application
  • Forms stable conversion coating
Not Sure Which to Use?

If you can remove the rust, use RUSTKLEEN. If rust removal is difficult or expensive, choose RUSTCON.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FERONIX RUSTCON is a water-based rust converter chemical that reacts with iron oxide rust and converts it into a stable, paintable compound, stopping further corrosion.
Use RUSTKLEEN when rust can be physically removed. Use RUSTCON when removal is difficult, impractical, or too costly — it converts the rust in place instead.
Yes, RUSTCON is a water-based, non-flammable, single component formulation that is easy and safe to apply.
It chemically converts iron oxide into a stable, inert compound that forms a protective conversion layer and creates a strong base for primer and topcoat.
RUSTCON is formulated for ferrous (iron and steel) surfaces affected by rust. For non-ferrous metals, other FERONIX products such as ALUMIX or LACRIX are recommended.
Apply directly by brush, roller, or spray after removing loose rust and contaminants. No mixing is required.
Typically one coat is sufficient. A second coat may be applied where rust is particularly heavy.
Yes, once RUSTCON has fully dried (approx. 12 hours), you can apply a compatible FERONIX primer or topcoat directly over it.

CONVERT RUST. PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT.

FERONIX RUSTCON helps you transform rusted metal into a strong, protected surface ready for the future.
