Carboline Rustbond FC is two-component, cross-linked penetrating primer/sealer with excellent wetting properties. It is highly flexible with good chemical and solvent resistance and accept a variety of topcoats. Recommended use as primer/sealers for marginally prepared steel and over old coatings. Its excellent wetting properties allows it to penetrate rust and discontinuities in existing coatings and provide a firm anchorage for a variety of topcoats.
The thixotropic character of Rustbond FC reduces run off, ensuring that the edges of existing coatings are encapsulated thus reducing undercutting and peeling. It may also be used as a tie-coat for coatings that exceed their “recoat window.” Consult Carboline Technical Services Department for specific recommendations.

Kyle on 2022-10-22 17:06:05 | Question: The product was mixed 2:1 towards the end of the day. But it is sticky to the touch enough to leave a finger print. Will it need to be stripped and have a new application or will it cure after a few days |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: The mixing ratio for this product is 1 to 1, the manufacturer does not recommend part mixing. Unfortunately mixed 2:1 the application is unlikely to cure and will need to be removed. 109 Tool Cleaner will aid in removal of most uncured two pack paints. All preparation, mixing and application information are in the technical data sheets, these can be found in the data sheets tab on every product page. | |
