Owatrol Oil is a versatile, high-performance penetrating rust inhibitor and oil-based paint conditioner available in 0.5L and 1L sizes. This product is designed to deliver exceptional protection and enhancement to a variety of surfaces, making it a must-have for both DIY enthusiasts and professional tradespeople. With its unique formulation, Owatrol Oil penetrates deeply to stabilize rust, improve paint adhesion, and enhance the overall finish of your projects.
Key Features:
- Deep Penetration: Penetrates rusted metal to reach sound metal below, driving out moisture and air, effectively stabilizing rust and preventing its recurrence.
- Enhanced Paint Performance: Acts as a paint and wood stain additive for oil-based paints, improving flow, eliminating brush marks, and extending wet edge time for a smoother, more professional finish.
- Improves Adhesion: Forms a bonding film on surfaces, ensuring excellent adhesion for primers and finishing coats on various materials including galvanized steel, aluminum, zinc, and wood.
- Prevents Cracking and Peeling: Enhances paint adhesion, preventing cracking and peeling, and improving uniformity and coverage of coats by up to 25%.
- Versatile Applications: Can be used alone or added to paint, offering flexibility for rust inhibition, paint conditioning, and wood impregnation.
Detailed Benefits:
As a Rust Inhibitor:
- Powerful Rust Protection: Owatrol Oil penetrates rust, isolating and protecting the metal beneath. It’s perfect for heavily rusted surfaces, preventing further damage by stabilizing the rust.
- Ease of Use: Apply directly to rusted surfaces; no need to remove firm rust. For new metal, use Owatrol AP 60 for optimal results.
As a Paint Conditioner:
- Improves Paint Quality: Mix into oil-based paints to prevent rust, improve flow, and maintain the wet edge longer, reducing brush and roller marks.
- Maintains Paint Integrity: Unlike thinners, it preserves the inherent qualities of the paint without altering appearance or drying times, enabling work in extreme conditions.
For Wood Impregnation:
- Wood Protection: Saturates wood surfaces to protect from moisture damage and prevent peeling paint, while also safeguarding metal parts like hinges and latches from corrosion.
Ideal Uses:
- Priming galvanized surfaces without the need for weathering or pickling.
- Preventing further damage on heavily rusted surfaces.
- Enhancing paint flow in cold environments.
- Protecting metal parts on wood surfaces such as gates and window frames.
- Ensuring better adhesion of finishes on various surfaces.
Application Instructions:
- Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Remove loose rust, old paint, and scale. Wash surfaces exposed to chemicals thoroughly.
- Rust Inhibition: Apply directly to rusted surfaces until fully saturated. Allow to dry and remove any loosened rust or paint.
- Paint Conditioning: Mix Owatrol Oil with oil-based paints as per the instructions (5%-20% for topcoat, up to 30% for undercoat, up to 50% for primer) to improve application and finish.
- Wood Treatment: Apply multiple coats on damaged wood surfaces until fully saturated, then proceed with regular painting.
Safety and Cleanup:
- Clean tools with white spirits immediately after use. Store and dispose of soaked rags and steel wool safely to prevent fire hazards.
- Avoid mixing with paints containing hot solvents. For water-based paints, use Owatrol Floetrol instead.
Restrictions:
- Do not apply in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces.
- Ensure compatibility when mixing with paint.
- Follow specific mixing instructions for best results.
Enhance your painting and restoration projects with Owatrol Oil, the ultimate solution for rust inhibition and paint conditioning. Available in 0.5L and 1L sizes, Owatrol Oil ensures long-lasting protection and a flawless finish every time.
