Rust Resister

Rust Resister is the easiest to use and least expensive way to protect your tanks from rust and corrosion.

Rust Resistor is a proprietary liquid especially designed to protect mild steel storage tanks from the damaging effects of rust and corrosion caused by nitrogen solution.

Easy-to-Use...

Just pour or pump Rust Resister into the tank. Rust Resister floats on top of the nitrogen solution, coating the sides of the tank as the liquid rises and falls.

Special Formulation...

Rust Resister is not a paint or fuel oil. It contains a unique anti-rust inhibitor suspended in a viscous liquid. The inhibitor clings to tank walls forming a protective coating that seals out air and corrosive liquids.

Dramatically extends the life of new and old tanks
Easy-to-use, inexpensive
Reduces rust flakes
Can be reused season after season
Will not emulsify
Not a paint or a fuel oil
Environmentally safe...will not harm crops

Treat one, 12-foot tank for as little as $73.00

Close-Up Photo Shows How Rust Resister Works

When applied under label directions, Rust Resister will inhibit the formation of rust and corrosion. Rust Resister floats on top of the fertilizer. As the level changes, a protective coating is deposited on the inside of the tank. Even if the tank is full, Rust Resister will inhibit rust formation just above the fertilizer level. Coating of the inside wall will then begin as the liquid level drops. Rust Resister may be used with many types of neutral fertilizers and salt solutions; such as UAN, 10-34-0, 7-21-7, sea water, etc. Do not use with highly corrosive or acid fertilizers or aqua ammonia. Questionable fertilizers should be tested for compatibility.

How to Use Rust Resister

TREATING TANKS NOT EMPTY

Rust Resister will float on all grades of clear liquid fertilizers and suspensions (not aqua ammonia). Pour recommended amount of Rust Resister onto liquid fertilizer. As the liquid level changes, a protective coating is deposited on the inside of the tank. Use the formula below to figure the amount of Rust Resister needed to treat tanks. Or, find the size of your tank in the table below. Replenish Rust Resister as needed to maintain an1/8 " layer. A replenishment rate of 1/4 the initial amount is recommended on an annual basis.

TREATING EMPTY TANKS

Rust Resister may be applied undiluted to exposed metal surfaces. If this is impractical, pour recommended amount of Rust Resister (see above formula or table) over bottom of tank. As tank is being filled, a protective coating will be deposited on the inside of the tank. Replenish Rust Resister as needed to maintain a 1/8" layer. A replenishment rate of 1/4 the initial amount is recommended on an annual basis.

TREATING NURSE TANKS, APPLICATORS, TRANSPORTS

Add Rust Resister at the rate of 5 gallons per 1000 gallons of rinse water. Fill tank and then drain slowly. To economize, rinse water may be pumped to other nurse tanks. Replenish Rust Resister as needed.

HUNDREDS OF USES

Rust Resister effectively prevents rust on any exposed steel or iron surface. It is an excellent lubricant and can be used in the machine shop on bolt threads, liquid valves, chains, augers etc.
