Description
Owatrol Marine Oil is a deeply saturating, versatile air-drying oil. This product has a wide range of uses – it can be used alone, added to oil-based paint as a conditioner, used for wood impregnation, or used to aid adhesion of finishes.
For use as a Rust Inhibitor
When using as a rust inhibitor, Marine Oil penetrates deep into the surface pushing out any excess moisture or air. Doing this to rusted metal will stabilise it and stop any further rust from developing – achieving a strong yet flexible finish that will not peel or flake. If using Marine Oil on brand new metal surfaces, Owatrol recommend you use anti-corrosive primer AP60 instead.
For use as a Paint Conditioner
If being used as a paint conditioner and being added to any alkyd or oil-based coating, Marine Oil will improve the paint flow making it easier to work with, increasing the wet edge time and offering greater adhesion of the paint. Other damaging thinners will not be able to maintain the colour, appearance or overall quality that Marine Oil does.
If you are using a water-based paint but wish to gain the same effect, please instead use Owatrol Floetrol. Floetrol paint conditioner is formulated to be used in any water-based paint, whereas Marine Oil is to be used in any oil-based paint.
For use in Wood Impregnation
When being used for wood impregnation, Marine Oil deeply saturates into dry wood, protecting it from the damaging effects of moisture. Doing this will help prevent paint from peeling from the wood and also protect any latches or hinges from corrosion.
For Advanced Adhesion
Marine Oil will leave a bonding film on the surface, maintaining the natural look yet allowing for enhanced adhesion. This makes it suitable for use as a foundation for finishing coats or primers. Marine Oil offers premium adhesion to surfaces such as aluminium, galvanised steel, wood, zinc and more. The application of Marine Oil creates a base to which paint can be directly applied to even firm rust and is also heat resistant to 175°C.
