What is Vactan?
Vactan is a complex mixture of a vinyl acrylic copolymer and tannic acid for the treatment of corroded steel and iron surfaces. Vactan neutralises the corrosion process by converting the rust into a blue black metallo-organic complex which passivates the surface. It then further protects the surface by forming a film with low permeability to water vapour and oxygen. Vactan is self priming and many do not overcoat but for long term protection it is advisable to overcoat with solvent or water based paint. One litre of Vactan can treat 8-9 square metres.This non hazardous product has been tested and certified as fit for use for the carriage of grain and use in potable water systems. Store in ambient conditions out of direct sunlight.
Application
Surfaces should be wire brushed to remove loose rust and it is preferable to remove soluble salts by washing with water as they inhibit the conversion process. Surfaces should also be oil and grease free. Vactan has been designed for application by spray and brush. By airless spray a dry film thickness of 60 microns can be achieved without sagging. The addition of further water may be necessary for air assisted spraying (50-70 psi). By brush application, a dry film thickness of 40 microns per coat is considered optimum. Vactan can be applied over damp surfaces and dries quickly under suitable temperature and humidity conditions. Immediately after use equipment should be washed in water to remove all traces of Vactan.
Drying Conditions
Under ideal conditions a 100 micron wet film of Vactan will be touch dry in approximately 10 minutes at 20 Deg C. Whereas at 10 Deg C and little air movement this time could be as much as 2 hours.

* I have tried handfuls of rust treatments and your has worked best so far we treated some rusty metal, got it wet and left it outside in the rain for 24 hours and it didn’t go rusty . We put it in a bucket of water and it still has not gone rusty but the non-treated metal is starting to lift into heavy rust . It goes on smooth when applied with a smooth brush . This makes over painting easy as there are no large lumps and bumps to smooth out. Hydrate 80 is an excellent treatment but it goes on rough, then you have to build up with primer, sand back then top coat. Yours works fine for me, you will have to make your own website as yours is the cheapest after looking around the web and the best.
