Rustol Owatrol active since 1956: hero of modern times with its new 92% biosourced formula

Rust can also be desired when looking for its decorative effect but in this case it is necessary to ensure that the oxidation process is controlled and that the phenomenon will not subsequently degrade the support.

Why do brackets rust?

Rust is an oxidation reaction that appears on ferrous metal when it is in contact with air or humidity: the iron oxidizes and becomes rust.

The process accelerates in the presence of water, humidity and a saline environment. Once rust starts to form, it doesn't stop spreading.

To stop the phenomenon, it must be eliminated and the entire structure concerned must be protected. Upstream, it is possible to prevent its appearance by protecting the metal parts of the support.

“Anti-rust” solutions Destroy, transform or neutralize: what are the differences?

Destroying or transforming involves brutal chemical and/or mechanical actions which will:

• or destroy the rust to expose the metal, which leads to exposing the support to the oxygen in the air and humidity (natural or due to the essential cleaning of the residue from the destroyer). This action involves protecting the support immediately afterwards to prevent any recurrence of rust. Furthermore, the destruction of rust induces a loss of material and a possible weakening of the support.
• or transform the iron oxide into another iron oxide, black iron tannate, which is more stable and will better resist oxidation. But there may be a new transplant because the process is not blocked and rust spots, remaining in the support, will continue to grow.

Neutralization is mechanical and stops rust inside the support, where it is. Its action is then blocked and the work is stabilized and protected over time against any rework. This solution is gentle and non-destructive.

Rustol Owatrol, the antidote for rust

Impregnate, infiltrate, isolate, protect

Without any pigment or toxic additive and based on natural vegetable oils, RUSTOL OWATROL® acts alone by infiltrating like a master key into all the interstices of the support to track down each rust particle.

In the presence of rust, it immediately becomes one with it, generating an ultra-flexible and insulating protective film when it dries. The treated support becomes impermeable to air and humidity: rust is neutralized and stopped.

Protection that lasts: once at the heart of the rust, RUSTOL OWATROL® fixes it and isolates it for a long time. Applied as prevention, its film protects against the potential appearance of rust.

Have decorative rust that no longer rusts!

For aficionados of the rusty look, RUSTOL OWATROL® adapts to all situations. Colorless and slightly satin, It does not require the coloring of a protective pigment as is often the case with classic anti-rust paints/finishes.

Long-term protection of colored iron supports from rust

When you want to protect in color, RUSTOL-DÉCO provides all the qualities of RUSTOL OWATROL®:

Impregnation and insulation: just like RUSTOL OWATROL®, RUSTOL-DÉCO becomes one with the support on which it is applied. It penetrates into all the smallest porosities of the surface to be protected to neutralize rust and isolate the material.

Perfect grip: it also adheres to wood, plastic, glass, etc.

Decoration: a glossy finish with a palette of 11 mixable colors, plus 3 micaceous shades.

The little history of Rustol Owatrol®

RUSTOL OWATROL® was born in France in 1956 from a collaboration between Durieu and an American company. Originally, it was formulated for automobiles and in particular garages where it finally provides the solution to protect the underbody and all delicate parts of automobiles and cycles. He then entered the industry (construction, marine, automobile, etc.) and DIY stores.

Today, still at the cutting edge of technology and the result of unparalleled expertise, RUSTOL OWATROL® displays the essential qualities expected of a rust preventative: an all-in-one long-lasting protection which stabilizes and protects, for use to everyone !

Did you know?

Rustol Owatrol®, hero in the face of rust, also works with paints & wood

Its wetting power and its impregnation qualities make the difference:

• As an additive, RUSTOL OWATROL® facilitates the application of paints, stains, glycerophthalic varnishes and alkyd-urethanes. The paint is more fluid, hangs better, spreads more easily, the tension is significantly improved and the finish is magnified.
• On all porous surfaces intended to receive the application of a protective or decorative finishing paint (excluding acrylic finishing), RUSTOL OWATROL® is a fantastic primer which optimizes adhesion.
• On wood before staining, it impregnates the support and guarantees very good adhesion for the finish at the same time as anti-rust protection.
