Everyone knows what “rust” is, even children. In appearance, you can’t confuse it with anything. But, unfortunately, the loss of an attractive appearance by metal structures is far from the biggest nuisance associated with the appearance of ugly flaky red spots. Much worse is that rusting is a corrosive process that destroys the structure of the metal.
If you let everything take its course and do not deal with rust, then metal products and structures are destroyed quite quickly, while losing their bearing capacity. Of course, it is best to prevent the appearance of corrosion of the metal, in a timely manner protecting it from moisture and exposure to other substances that can lead to the rapid appearance of rust. But what if it has already appeared? Is it possible to stop the corrosion process at the initial stage? And, if possible, how?
The simplest and accessible way in this situation, it is the isolation of the metal surface from the factors that cause corrosion - the application of a protective coating on it.
That is why all metal parts are usually painted.
But are all paints equally effective in protecting a surface that has already been corroded to some extent? No, not all. Especially if the structure is in the open air - that is, it is constantly exposed to negative influences.
We will consider only those compositions that are intended not just for painting metal, but specifically for protecting it from corrosion, including the one that has already begun.
Anti-corrosion compounds designed to protect the metal from the damaging effects of oxygen and moisture, which are the cause of rust.
It should be noted that all anti-corrosion paints are used only for surfaces with minimal traces of corrosion.
rust paints usually not those parts of the structure that already have obvious signs of oxidation are applied. The use of such paints avoids the long and costly process of preparing a rusty surface for painting.
hammer paints contain aluminum powder and glass ( fine fraction). They also contain silicone oil. The paints have excellent adhesion and are well suited for painting metal, both in need of anti-corrosion protection and with traces of rust.
These compositions are remarkable in that they give the surface a high decorative effect. Hammer paints have a wide color scheme, dry quickly, but require strict implementation of the application technology.
In order to make the right choice of the coloring composition that you are going to use for protection metal structures located outdoors, certain factors must be taken into account.
If the surface has minimal traces of corrosion, then inexpensive compounds can be used. If the degree of damage is 35-40%, then you need to purchase more effective (and therefore more expensive) paints.
If it is not possible to buy a highly effective expensive compound, then you can go the other way: purchase an inexpensive anti-corrosion paint, but apply it only after treating the metal surface with a rust converter and modifier primer.
Very important: paint containers must be labeled as "weather resistant".
Depending on the type of paint chosen, surface preparation for painting may vary, so consider different options.
You can paint metal in different ways - with a brush, roller, spray gun. The main thing here is the requirement of the most even distribution of paint over the surface.
Coloring is carried out according to the instructions given on the can of paint. Usually it is made for 2-4 layers with intermediate drying of each of them.
Such colorful compositions dry quite quickly - from half an hour to several hours.
Among the many compositions for protecting metal, there are the most popular, proven by experts and ordinary consumers.
Thus, there are a sufficient number of paint compositions on the market that can protect metal products and structures from corrosion, as well as stop it.
The cost of paints marked "for rust" is higher than conventional anti-corrosion compounds, but their use can reduce the time of work, as well as reliably protect metal parts from destruction.
To achieve the best result, it is required to select paints not only according to performance characteristics, but also according to the types of metal and alloys. With development chemical industry alkyd and epoxy-based paints with rust converters appeared, with a more dense and high-quality protective coating. Metal products are pre-treated with a primer with zinc compounds to prevent corrosion processes.
There is a wide variety of these compounds on the market, it is important to make the right choice of paint in order to avoid the problems shown in the video:
Purpose of the article: give an idea of existing types LKP for metal, manufacturers and the use of compositions in specific operating conditions, help the consumer choose high-quality and efficient products.
Modern paint coatings are the result of numerous studies of compositions in practice after the introduction of various additives into the mixture that improve the protective coating. The main physical and chemical characteristics of paints are given in the tables.
| Comparison criterion | Option | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Based on composition | oil (MA) | Marking MA indicates the use of vegetable oils in the composition, in particular natural drying oil. Oil paint is used indoors, as it has poor resistance to seasonal temperature changes in the air. A feature of the paint is that the created layer does not let air through to the metal surface. It's good for coloring water pipes indoors, but due to the lack of gas exchange (the paint hermetically closes the metal surface), it is necessary to renew the coating once a year, as the layer peels off. |
| Epoxy (EP) | The paint is intended for use on non-domestic products (car body, oil pipelines, pipelines of alkalis, gas, acids), since the epoxy resins included in the composition have a toxic effect on the human body. The protective coating withstands high temperatures without destroying the layer. | |
| Alkyd (PF and GF) | It has a high degree of adhesion and is used for zinc-coated metals. The composition is applied easily with the formation of an alkyd film resistant to physical and chemical influences. They do not withstand high temperatures well. Suitable for painting galvanized iron (roofing), pipelines and fittings with zinc coating. | |
| Acrylic (AK) | The composition includes polyacrylates (polymers of acrylic acids) with high heat resistance. Thanks to these polymers, the coatings are weatherproof and resistant to intense ultraviolet solar radiation. The paint withstands high temperature conditions without cracking and deformation of the layer. Refers to water-based compositions, non-toxic. Substances that prevent the development of corrosion are added to the composition. Acrylic paint is used to paint heating radiators, metal interior elements for long-term preservation appearance (resistant to physical impact). | |
| hammer (ML) | ML - Pigments in a mixture of solutions of synthetic resins with the addition of a solvent. The so-called "hammer effect" forms embossed patterns on the painted surface. Hammer paints are used for rust protection and finishing: fences and gates, garden furniture and metal gratings. | |
| Chemical-physical properties | Viscosity | The viscosity index affects the method of applying the composition to the surface (spray gun, brush, roller). With an incorrectly selected viscosity, the quality of work and the strength of the protective coating are reduced. Domestic manufacturers indicate the viscosity of the dye in seconds; for imported materials, another unit of measurement is typical - DIN. The optimal viscosity of the dye, primer or varnish is usually indicated by the manufacturer on the packaging. Most of the compositions, unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer, are intended for painting with a brush or roller. For a roller and a brush, the viscosity of the paint is 18-22 sec or 30 DIN (usually in cans, the composition is already ready for use with this particular tool). Before painting with an airbrush, they are diluted to the consistency of fat milk with a solvent intended for this paint (50 sec or 80 DIN). |
| hiding power | Spreading power is expressed in kg / m² or ml / m², some manufacturers give more understandable values \u200b\u200b- how much square meters can be covered with a liter of paint m²/l. The property of the composition to overlap the previous layer depends on this indicator. The higher this indicator, the lower the paint consumption rate. High-quality paints are able to cope with the task in one layer application cycle. One coat for a well prepared surface is 120 ml/m² or 12 m²/l. | |
| Density | For various surfaces there are own recommendations for the density of paints. For smooth metals one liter of paint per 14-16 m², for rough metals one liter per 6-10 m² | |
| Drying speed | The drying rate is affected by the basis of the composition. Alkyd compositions with light fractions of solvents dry the fastest, polyurethane enamels (more viscous) a little longer, followed by water-based compositions. The longest time is to wait for the oil paint on natural oils to dry. |
There are standardized designations for all paints. Here is the decryption:
| Designation | Alphabetic and numeric designation |
|---|---|
| Base (film-forming substance) | MA (oil); PF and GF (alkyd); AK (acrylic); BT (bituminous); KCh (rubber); EP (epoxy); NC (nitrocellulose). |
| Type and application of the composition | 1 - outdoor use (weather resistant); 2 - indoor use (limited weather resistance); 3 - conservation products for protective work; 4 - water resistant; 5 - enamels; 6 - gasoline and oil resistant; 7 - chemically stable; 8 - heat-resistant; 9 - electrical insulating; |
For example, alkyd enamel PF-115. The letter designation “PF” indicates that the enamel is made on the basis of a pentaphthalic binder, the first digit 1 is for external use, 15 is a catalog number. Labeling of imported paints and paints and varnishes differs from the system described above, but the information required by the user must be indicated on the label without fail and in Russian.
We invite you to familiarize yourself with the offers of paint manufacturers and the range of the most common compositions. The products of these brands meet quality standards and meet the declared characteristics.
The company's products are characterized by good hiding power and adhesion to the surface, which guarantees an excellent coating that is resistant to physical and chemical influences. Alpina is known in Russia as a manufacturer of high quality premium products.
Application impressions: When coating products, the paint lays down evenly and does not drain, as is the case with oil formulations. Accordingly, the consumption is small and you can focus on its indicator, which is placed in the information on the label of the can. Rust paint, after application, has a slightly brighter shade, but after 2-3 days it becomes identical to the color indicated by the manufacturer. The composition converts rust well, but minimal preparation is required - light cleaning of the surface and degreasing.

Hammerite is produced by the world famous concern AkzoNobel, which is based in the Netherlands. With constant periodicity, the company offers new products to the market to protect metal from atmospheric manifestations and other physical influences. All formulations meet stringent quality requirements.
Application impressions: The paint is an expensive composition, so it is best to use it where other compositions will show the worst result. From my experience with Rust Beater, it turns out that it is simply indispensable for street fences, metal parts of greenhouses and plumbing. The composition "sticks" to the surface tightly, does not chip off, dries in 1 hour. The fence posts were painted 10 years ago and still do not require updating. At the same time, the oil paint on the poles for the gas pipeline moved away from the metal in the second year.

The Russian manufacturer TEX is aimed at the mass consumer. It produces paints and compositions according to its own developments, the research of which is carried out in certified laboratories. At the enterprise there is and actively works quality control of production.
Application impressions: I had to use paint for garage doors, which about 15 years ago were covered with oil paint of an incomprehensible color, rust appeared on almost all surfaces. I used RustySTOP Pro after passing over the surface with an emery wheel. I cleaned superficially, without fanaticism, but the paint lay down surprisingly tightly. A year later, I noticed delamination in two places, but not critical. Apparently it will have to be updated every three years, but the paint is inexpensive and does not hit the pocket.

All paint and varnish products (varnish) are produced on the latest high-tech equipment, using the best imported and domestic raw materials.
Application impressions: Of all the compositions of the line of this manufacturer, I was most impressed with Aquametallic. I had to paint black metal plumbing pipes in the basement country house. The difficulty was that it was impossible to turn off the water on the pipes, condensate accumulated and, accordingly, wet, loose rust. I wiped the pipes with a rag and immediately painted without much hope for a result. However, the paint lay down very well. Of course, the appearance of the painted pipes turned out to be not very good, but the protection is done. The composition keeps on the pipes without peeling for 3 years. The basement was cramped, without ventilation, and I was pleased that there was practically no smell.

Checking the parameters and characteristics of Bystromet declared by the consumer:
The most suitable products for private use (external and internal work), we consider paints for metal of the line Hammerite. These compounds can be used in a single coat with good surface preparation, contain additives that improve the properties of the coating and are in the middle price range.
We have selected 5 popular questions and tried to answer them in as much detail as possible. Didn't find your question among the ones listed below? Feel free to ask it in the comments to the article!
1. Do I need to prepare the surface and clean for applying paint if the product is rusty and has some defects? How do rust removers work?
The composition of paints "for rust" includes fatty acid, which neutralize the process of rust spreading, and the protective layer preserves the product. But, since the surface of the metal with traces of rust is porous, it is better to do a little metal preparation. To do this, pass sandpaper over the surface or other abrasive material, wipe the product dry with a rag and degrease with acetone or alcohol.
2. How does paint density affect consumption? What other indicators of paints should be taken into account when calculating the consumption?
The higher the density of the paint, the stronger and completely the initial surface of the metal will overlap. Covering power is indicated by the manufacturer for ideal conditions, so it is better to take a correction factor of 1.3 (multiplication of the calculated amount of the composition). In this case, we can accurately calculate the flow. But, even the best paint will not cover the initial surface in one layer, only if it is a new product without flaws.
3. It is necessary to paint a surface that heats up to significant temperatures (metal oven). What kind of high-temperature paint can be used, and how do they differ from conventional enamels?
When choosing a heat-resistant paint, we focus on the operating temperature indicator at which the coating will not collapse and retain its original characteristics. On average, the compositions withstand 400-600 ° C, which is enough for painting metal furnace. Paint with silicone resins is suitable for your case.
4. How to remove old paint from metal surfaces?
There are three main ways to remove old paint from metal surfaces. First, the mechanical way. The layer is removed with an abrasive, but the effect can only be obtained on relatively flat surfaces.
Good results are obtained when using cord brushes on a drill or petal emery wheels on a grinder. Carefully look at the designations on the brushes for maximum speed, use thick canvas gloves, goggles and a respirator or protective mask.
Secondly, chemical method. Buy a gel or liquid composition, which is designed for these purposes and applied to the surface with a brush. The composition is very active, you should work in plastic gloves and a protective apron. Glasses required. Means eats through rubber products in 2-3 minutes.
The compositions are a complex composition of chemically active substances. As a rule, manufacturers include in the solution: complexing agents, corrosion inhibitors, alkalis (or acids), surfactants.
And the third way is fire. By using blowtorch(not with a cutter) heat the surface until the paint burns. The main thing here is not to overheat the metal, otherwise it will deform. After treatment with fire, we clean the remains of the paint layer with an abrasive or a metal brush.
5. I heard that there are so-called “grounds”. How do they differ from paintwork for metal? Are they a full-fledged replacement for metal coating? In what cases is it necessary to use a primer and is it necessary to “lay” a layer of full-fledged paint on top of the primer?
The primer is intended for the primary coating of metal and the formation of a protective layer before application. decorative composition. "Soil" provides protection against corrosion, evens out defects, creates a solid foundation for enamels. The primer blocks contaminants that cannot be cleaned from the surface.
The primer differs from paint coatings by the presence of special complexes in the composition, which prevent rust from developing and protect the metal from moisture penetration. Nevertheless, paints are now being produced that “work” no worse than primers (3 in 1).
Today's construction market offers buyers a wide choice various materials for metal processing. In this regard, homeowners often have a question about which paint for metal is better. To answer it, you need to understand the varieties of such products and their properties.
They are divided into two subspecies:
In the photo - enamel for a metal surface
They began to be used for coloring metals relatively recently. But they have already gained considerable popularity. It is explained by the fact that such a coating is very durable. In addition, it is not subject to cracking, fading, and is a good corrosion protection.
Another plus is that it can withstand high temperatures. Therefore, it can be used to process radiators of the heating system.
The following advantages are environmental friendliness and incombustibility. This mixture does not bad smell and until it dries, it can be washed off hands and tools with plain water. Thus, it is about her that we can say that this is the most best paint for metal.
When choosing a suitable coloring composition for a metal surface, you must first determine whether it will be exposed to high temperatures. It should be noted that alkyd mixtures can withstand no more than 80 ° C, acrylic - up to 120 ° C.
There are also specialized formulations that can withstand very high temperatures. In particular, these include epoxy bituminous mortars and products based on silicone resins. The first of them are designed for temperatures up to 400°C, the second - up to 600°C.
Note! For interior work, choose acrylic compositions. They are safe for health and do not have a strong odor.
Concerning external works, then enamels are quite suitable for them. They are toxic, but at the same time, they fit well on a metal surface. In order to protect against corrosion, primer-enamels can also be used.
Advice! When purchasing Russian-made materials, give preference to those that are made in accordance with state standards. Paint for metal according to GOST has, as a rule, higher performance and good quality.
Products manufactured under this name are invariably very popular with home craftsmen. The coating formed by such materials has good wear resistance. It also tolerates the effects of lubricating oils and various fats.
Under this brand, compositions are produced for both internal and external work. For the first of them, the paint consumption per 1m2 for metal is 1 liter per 8-10m², for the second - 1l per 10-14m².
The range of Tikkurila also includes heat-resistant mixtures. They are able to withstand temperatures up to 400°C.
A metal coating produced under this brand can be applied directly to rust. Preliminary cleaning and priming of the surface is not required.
The named composition is equally well suited for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It has a wide palette of colors. Thanks to this, each homeowner will be able to choose the right tone for him.
In addition to rust, such a coating can be applied to a surface painted with almost any composition. The only exceptions are bituminous or powder mixtures.
Summing up, it should be noted that Hamerite has only one drawback. This is his high price.
This manufacturer produces a 3 in 1 primer-enamel, which is designed for metal. This composition is not only decorative, but also a protective coating. Therefore, it can be applied to rusted coatings without prior preparation and priming.
Paint consumption rate per 1m2 for metal this case ranges from 80 to 120 ml/m². Of course, this is subject to the coating being applied in one layer. With more of them, the material consumption will also increase many times.
This composition is used for. It can be applied to both matte and glossy surfaces.
The coating obtained with its help is resistant to sudden changes in temperature and other adverse effects. external environment. In addition, it dries quickly and can be applied at temperatures as low as -10°C.
Advice! Do not use this primer-enamel for heated surfaces, as well as those that have been painted with nitro enamel. In the first case, an unpleasant odor may appear, and in the second, swelling of the applied coating.
In order for the applied composition to last long enough on the metal surface, it must be carefully prepared. First of all, clean it with your own hands from rust, dirt and old, exfoliated coatings.
This will require a metal brush, scraper or sandpaper. A warm soapy solution will help you remove soot and other contaminants. After completion of work, the surface is washed with clean water and dried.
Advice! You can quickly clean a large surface with an oxy-acetylene torch. In its flame, the old coating will simply burn out, and the rust and combustion products will peel off.
Metal treatment with a primer achieves two goals:
Keep in mind that different metals require different primers:
To understand the purpose and features of a particular primer, the instructions attached to it will help you. As for the application of this material, it is usually done with a roller or brush. In some cases, it is possible to use methods such as dipping and pouring.
Any metal structures already finished or just being prepared for installation require protection from external influences. This is especially necessary if the product will be on the street. In this case, one of the options for surface treatment is metal paint. Products are capable of simultaneously performing 2 functions - decorative and protective, but this requires choosing the right one.

Any paint for metal is anti-corrosive for rust, the only difference between them is the degree of effect and the possibility of applying directly to areas with corrosion foci. In general, each option proposed by manufacturers will reliably protect the base from the formation of outgrowths. In addition to this property, the product also has a number of features.
First of all, it should be noted fire-resistant paint, which does an excellent job with protective properties, while at the same time acting as a barrier to temperature exposure. Such material is successfully used in the processing of various structures that are regularly exposed to heat or are close to a heat source.
