Rust Doctor is a non-toxic, water based latex paint that allows you to paint over rusty metal and then topcoat with any kind of paint without the need to sand or grind to bare metal. Unlike other products on the market, Rust Doctor contains no solvents, acids, or harsh chemicals. It is completely non-toxic. How it works Rust Doctor works on a molecular level to chemically convert rusty metal to black magnetite -- a very hard form of iron oxide. Because magnetite is inert (will not react with moisture and oxygen), it creates a protective layer that keeps the metal from rusting. One Step Application To further ensure complete rust elimination, the Rust Doctor paint formula includes a high-quality latex primer that bonds with the magnetite surface. This allows immediate application of a top coat with any kind of paint (latex, epoxy, oils, etc.). In one simple step, the rust is converted to magnetite and the surface is primed.
