Metalfix®
Waterbased Etch Primer For Heavy Rust
A single-pack water-based rust converting etch primer, for application over rusted steel. The product converts the rust layer into a metal phosphate and simultaneously cures into a tough abrasion-resistant skin, which is impervious to further rusting. www.phoenixpaints.com.au/m_04_01.html

MetalFix primer application before and after |
 |
 |
BEFORE
Here you can see a section from a steam valve from Alliance Smithfield Freezing Works. The MetalFix primer (red) was applied before the white paint to protect the steel surface. The white paint was provided by a competitor and has peeled due to the high temperatures. |
AFTER
This is the same steam valve after the white paint has been peeled back. We applied a new coat of MetalFix 1000 and applied the KingCoat black paint over the top. MetalFix has protected the surface of the steel and endured the high temperatures of the valve. KingCoat can withstand the high temperatures and provide a longer lasting second protection layer. |
Testimonial from the Head Painter at Alliance Smithfield
“As the head painter at Alliance Smithfield plant we have been using MetalFix for over 4 years now (as of February 2009) in all rust applications and find it very good with excellent results. It goes on and covers very easily and the fact that you can over-coat with any paint type is an added advantage. I have used it on steam pipes and I am very totally impressed, also applied it on gib-board as a primer coat and it worked excellently. This application was also added an additional fire retardant coating which is a unique property of Metalfix. An all-in-one product you could say. With little or no odour MetalFix it can be used in confined spaces. Since it’s a water-based product it just cleans up in water, no thinners or harzardous solvents are needed and the brushers last much longer.”
