Referro is a specially formulated “Rust Converter”, an acidic organic polymer emulsion. Designed to react with iron oxides converting it into a bluish-black ferric tannate, a protective chemical barrier. It is imperative to overcoat Referro with a protective coating or paint. Referro is a milky brown dispersion that will turn to a bluish-black film once reacted and cured.

Usage

Reffero converts, prime and seal metal surfaces restoring it and extends the life of metal equipment.

With a one-step application, Referro reacts with rust to create a new primed protective coating.

Easy to apply - brush, roll or spray on rusted steel, galvanised steel and zinc-alum.

Referro is an industrial strength product for all your marine, household, automotive, and industrial rust problems.

HOW IT WORKS

RUST CONVERT AND RESTORE METAL SURFACES

Referro Rust Converter, Primer & Sealer is an elite, industrial strength product for all your Transportation, Marine, Industrial & Commercial, Farm and Home applications. Referro can extend the life of your metal equipment and structures by protecting it from rust and corrosion. Rust occurs naturally when the iron in steel oxidizes and returns to its original state, iron oxide.

Referro is an acidic organic water-based polymer coating that reacts and converts rust to a stable black protective coating that serves as an excellent primer and rust neutralizer. In one step Referro chemically reacts with rust, converting it to a hard inert organic compound, and then seals rusted metal surfaces prior to painting, ready for subsequent priming and top coating.

Referro will provide temporary protection against rust, but should not be considered a corrosion-resistant coating. Primer coats and topcoats should be applied as soon as possible after the surface has been treated

KEY BENEFITS

1/ RUST CONVERTER – RUST PRIMER – METAL PRIMER

Referro is your best rust treatment and corrosion control option because it meets all your metal surface preparation needs by converting the rust and priming the metal surface at the same time. The high-tech formula in Referro stops residual rust in its tracks and converts it into a black protective polymeric coating that eliminates the need for sanding. Flaking needs to be removed.

2/ RESTORE METAL SURFACES

In one step Referro chemically reacts with rust, converting rusted metal surfaces prior to painting leaving the surface ready for subsequent priming and top coating. The protective coating will prime and seal the surface against moisture and oxygen to prevent future rust growth when overcoated with a suitable topcoat. Converted surfaces are compatible with most topcoats. This product will provide temporary protection against rust, but should not be considered a corrosion-resistant coating.

3/ EASY TO APPLY, EXCELLENT RESISTANCE

Referro Rust Converter, Primer Sealer combines powerful rust modifiers with an easy-to-apply water-based coating. Can be applied brush, roll, or spray. Shortly after application, the rusted surface changes to a stable black coating. A uniform black coating indicates the complete conversion of the rust.

4/ ECO-FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVE TO SANDBLASTING OR SANDING

Referro is the best way to deal with rust because it is less expensive, less time consuming, and is much more environmentally friendly than sandblasting. Referro eliminates the need to sandblast rust by chemically converting rust from iron oxide to a protective polymeric coating.

CASE STUDIES

REFERRO RUST CONVERTOR AT WORK

Referro is a rust converter, primer, and sealer. It penetrates the oxidation in metal, chemically converting the rust into a bluish-black ferric tannate forming a protective chemical barrier. Referro serves as a primer coat, ready for protective top coating or paint.

ROOF SHEETING RUST CONVERSION

Referro was used to stop and convert the rust on the roof sheeting of a commercial building in Centurion. The roof was first washed and cleaned before Referro rust converter was applied. Metal edge primer was then applied and the final top coat was done with Pittura roof paint.

METAL GRAIN SILO RUST CONVERSION

Referro was used to extend the life span of a metal grain silo by converting rust to a stable black protective coating that serves as an excellent primer and rust neutralizer. Metal edge primer was then applied followed by ThrmoSeal and toped off with Pittura as a final coat.
