Product Overview:

Description

Stop rust in its tracks! Rust Encapsulator is the easiest way to stop and prevent rust and corrosion from spreading.

  • Superior durability (tested to 500 hours in a salt-spray chamber)
  • UV Resistance - a topcoat is not needed
  • Penetrates deeper to prevent rust from spreading or forming, even in hard-to-reach areas
  • Requires minimal prep and cures fast
  • Available in convenient spray aerosol or brush on quart and gallon sizes
  • Heat resistant to 400F
  • 2%-10% Gloss Level

Simply wire brush any loose rust, wipe with PRE painting prep to clean the surface and apply. Eastwood Rust Encapsulator has proven to be superior in UV resistance, preventing rust creep, and overall durability.

Eastwood Rust Encapsulator has been tested by an independent lab to be one of the most effective rust-preventive products yet. Rust Encapsulator is a great primer for floor pans and other underbody parts. It fills tiny pin-holes and surface irregularities, and is compatible with lacquer, enamel and urethane topcoats (including Eastwood Chassis Black). For the absolute ultimate rust remedy, first brush or spray-on Eastwood Rust Converter, then prime with Rust Encapsulator. One 15-oz. aerosol covers about 10 sq. ft., and contains no isocyanates. One Gallon covers about 160 Sq Ft. Heat-resistant up to 400°F. Made in the USA.

For Improved Protection check out Rust Encapsulator Plus and for ULTIMATE PROTECTION you will want to use Rust Encapsulator Platinum.

FAQs

(Q) Can Rust Encapsulator be applied with the Undercoating System?
(A) Technically, yes, but this application isn't recommended because Rust Encapsulator requires surface to be free of grease, oil, and loose rust. The best product to coat inside box sections is Internal Frame Coating or Heavy-Duty Anti-Rust . These products require minimal prep and will creep into seams and pinch welds.

Safety Information

Work in a well-ventilated area when applying this product. The use of a respirator is recommended. Shake aerosol vigorously for 2 minutes before spraying.

Accessories

In places where little or no surface prep can be done, our Internal Frame Coating or Heavy-Duty Anti-Rust (16017ZP) is actually a better choice for applying into blind areas such as box sections.

Application Tips

Use a wire brush to remove loose rust, scale and paint, and remove dust, grease and oil deposits. Wipe down with Pre Painting Prep (10041Z). Feather surrounding paint with 220-grit sandpaper. Shake can for at least 2 minutes once the mixing ball starts to rattle. Hold the Rust Encapsulator can 10-12" above surface as you spray. A single coat dries to the touch in 20 minutes, and is thoroughly dry in 3-4 hours at 68°F. For greater durability, a second coat can be applied 1 hour after the first. Allow 6-8 hours after the last coat before applying topcoat. Use over or under body fillers.

The Rust Encapsulator Quarts and Gallons can be sprayed right out of the can with a conventional HVLP spray gun with a 1.3 - 1.4 tip.

Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent primer for cast iron radiators Eastwood rust encapsulator was the perfect product to prime my old cast iron radiators for a single stage urethane. The epoxy base gives it excellent adherence. The product goes on glossy but will dry to a very durable matte black finish. The product is holding up perfectly after a year of 200 degree temperatures. I don’t anticipate ever having to repaint these I used an Eastwood Concours LT100 HVLP Paint Gun to apply all products.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Rust encapsulator Depending where you are applying it I would spray it on for a smoother finish

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great on frames. I used this product on a frame off restoration of my Jeep. Over 50k miles later all my black paint looks great. I now use it as a primer for all my antique projects. Currently doing a 1952 Ferguson TO 30.

Questions & Answers

Would this be a good application for metal siding that is starting to rust at the bottom? If so, can I paint over it to match the rest of the siding?

Asked by: mr16track
Yes, but our Platinum would be the best bet. This can be top coated but we can only technically guarantee with products that we sell. If applying other paints over- test on scrap metal first or on a small section.

I have a cargo trailer that’s roof has surface rust , will this product work and can it be rolled on instead of brushing ? Can I apply a Rustoleum white paint over it to reduce heat inside of trailer ? Should I use Regular rust encapsulator or Plusproduct

Asked by: Big B
Our Eastwood Rust encapsulator, and rust encapsulator Plus can be rolled on without issues. I would recommend a Foam roller for the best surface finish. White Rust oleum can be applied over this product once it is fully dry and cured, At least 24 hours in most applications. I would personally recommend our rust encapsulator plus because it has superior adhesion, film build, and corrosion protection.

I have some rust encapsulator from 5 years ago...never opened the quarts. Are they still good to use? Is there any shelf life to this paint?

Asked by: Drew
Over time sediments will always settle to the bottom of the can. If you can mix them back in smoothly it would be likely you wouldn't have an issue. We would still recommend applying to a scrap or test piece of metal first.

Will this adhere to rustproofing

Asked by: Jlf1
Unfortunately, if not a product of ours- we can not guarantee compatibility. We would have to recommend that you test on scrap metal or a small section first.

Can you use this over rust converter? 

Asked by: Bob34
Yes, this can absolutely be used over our Rust Converter. Just be sire to give it a full 48 hours to convert before applying the Encapsulator.
