DESCRIPTION:

 

Rust-Bite is a high solids, VOC compliant, single component rust preventive

 

and underbody coating specifically formulated to permanently stop

 

corrosion without the use of primers or topcoats. Rust-Bite protects many

 

surfaces from water, chemicals, salt, and other corrosive contaminants. Rust-

 

Bite stops rust when applied to rust that is prepared by using a wire brush or

 

hand scraper to remove all loose rust or scale. For optimum adhesion

 

sandblast with medium grit. Rust-Bite will dry to a flexible rock hard, nonporous

 

finish that will not crack, chip, flake or peel. Rust-Bite cures by

 

reacting with atmospheric moisture and its cured film resembles that of a

 

powder coating or a baked-on finish with the use of no hardeners or heat.

 

Rust-Bite seals and protects many surfaces from road salt, gasoline, diesel

 

fuel, oils, battery acids, hydraulic fluids, solvents, chemicals, or corrosives.

 

Rust-Bite can be top coated with any industrial or automotive finish.

PREPARATION

 

Remove all dirt, grease or oils, clean surfaces using a Wax & Grease

 

Remover or equivalent. For heavy build-up scrape or wire brush excess

 

material prior to degreasing. Allow surfaces to dry thoroughly. NOTE: Do

 

not apply Rust-Bite if atmospheric temperature is below 50°F.

 

RUSTED SURFACES:

 

Remove loose rust and scale using a stiff wire brush, by grinding, or hand

 

tool cleaning. Remove all loose, peeling or bubbling paint. NOTE: Rust-Bite

 

works best when applied directly over rust. NOTE: Do not remove all rust or

 

apply any type of Rust Converter before applying Rust-Bite.

 

BARE, SMOOTH METAL:

 

Sandblasting is recommended but sanding with 36 to 80 grit sand-paper is

 

also acceptable. When blasting, provide a medium to coarse profile for

 

optimum adhesion. Avoid any media that may leave a smooth surface.

 

PAINTED SURFACES:

 

Previously painted surfaces should be sanded using a 120 to 180 grit

 

sandpaper to remove gloss.

 

MIXING & HANDLING:

 

Container may be under slight pressure. Stir liquid gently until uniformly

 

mixed. Do not shake, shaking will cause Rust-Bite to build pressure in can.

 

Never work directly from the Rust-Bite can unless the entire contents will be

 

used in a single painting session. Always pour what will be used into a

 

separate container.

 

NOTE: Never pour unused product back into original

 

container after use.

 

NOTE: Before closing Rust-Bite container apply a sheet

 

of plastic or food wrap over can, Rust-Bite will adhere lid to can if plastic is

 

not applied.

 

Never allow can to sit opened when not in use. WEAR

 

GLOVES DURING USE Skin contact should be avoided. Do not attempt to

 

remove dried Chassis Saver from skin with solvent; soak in warm, soapy

 

water. Once product has stained skin, only time will remove it.

APPLICATION & REDUCING:

 

Apply 2-4 coats allowing 3 to 8 hours between coats depending on temp

 

and humidity. Each coat should be dry to touch with no tackiness before

 

applying next coat. Rust-Bite is a moisture cure finish which when applied

 

too heavy will have a tendency to bubble while curing. Avoid bubbling by

 

applying thin coats only. Higher temps and humidity will shorten drying

 

time. Low temp and humidity will lengthen dry. Do not apply Rust-Bite if

 

temperature is below 50°F. Never use lacquer thinner as a reducer for Rust-

 

Bite or to wipe surfaces prior to painting.

 

BRUSH APPLICATION:

 

Apply thin, even coats using a nylon brush. For better flow and leveling, add

 

up to 10% TRC-01 Reducer.

 

SPRAY APPLICATION:

 

Reduce up to 10% using TRC-01 Reducer. Apply medium-wet coats while

 

maintaining a gun distance of 12 to 14 inches. Spray tip size should be: 1.2 to

1.4mm.

 

NOTE:

For surfaces that will be

 

exposed to UV (sunlight), apply a UV resistant single stage urethane paint after 3 - 24 hours.

 

RECOAT:

 

For films cured over 24 hours, sand using 400-grit abrasive to remove

 

gloss before recoating.
