A combination metal surface cleaner, surface rustremover, 100% rust converter (including mill scale), conditions metal and provides a conductive metallurgical protective coating for long term rust protection, all in one application.  Picklex 20 makes the surface rust free and prevents further rusting for long periods of time if kept in a covered area away from contact with water. Picklex 20 is environmentally safe, non toxic, non-hazardous, non-flammable and water soluble. Picklex 20 does not fall under any EPA. OSHA or DOT regulation.

Picklex 20 is a  rust "CONVERTER" and will also  protect a metal surface from rusting is the metal is kept sheltered.

Picklex 20 is used to convert the rust then a primer or rust coating can be applied to protect the surface from the elements.

Rusted metal that is converted using Picklex 20 should NOT be primed using an etch primer.  The chemicals in most etch primers are not compatible with Picklex 20.  Use epoxy primer if possible.

Converting Rusted Metal

This is a coating that seals over rust eliminating the moisture and oxygen from being able to reach the metal.   We've read the literature that accompanied the product and then did an evaluation ourselves and found this to be one of the best products on the market for stopping rust.

 Zero-Rust doesn't get hard and brittle like other rust coatings and in many applications it doesn't need further painting or priming like converters.  These materials have proven themselves in other industrial applications and now we, in auto restoration, reap the benefits of these products.

Most of our applications are using Zero-Rust
on top of Picklex 20 and we've found
them to work great together.
