Owatrol Oil – Premium Paint Conditioner & Rust Inhibitor
Owatrol Oil is a high-performance, versatile oil-based paint conditioner and rust-inhibiting treatment designed for professional and DIY use. Whether you’re restoring old metalwork, protecting machinery, or improving the finish of your paintwork, Owatrol Oil delivers long-lasting results and a smoother, more durable coating.
Key Features
-
Stops Rust at its Source: Deep-penetrating formula drives out moisture and air from rusted metal, stabilising the surface and preventing corrosion from continuing underneath the paint.
-
Improves Paint Flow & Finish: When mixed with oil or alkyd-based paints, Owatrol Oil increases open time, improves flow, and eliminates brush and roller marks — ideal for achieving a smooth, professional-grade finish.
-
Superior Adhesion: Creates a powerful bonding film that enhances adhesion of primers and topcoats to metal, wood, and other surfaces — even on difficult substrates like galvanised steel and aluminium.
-
Versatile Interior & Exterior Use: Suitable for gates, metal railings, vehicles, farm equipment, marine metalwork, garden furniture, sheds, and timber surfaces prone to peeling or damp.
-
Heat-Resistant Protection: Once fully cured, Owatrol Oil remains stable at temperatures up to approximately 175 °C, making it suitable for machinery and industrial applications.
Why Choose Owatrol Oil?
Owatrol Oil does more than simply thin paint — it enhances it. Instead of breaking down the paint film like normal thinners, Owatrol Oil boosts paint performance, improves workability, increases coverage and ensures a longer-lasting, more flexible finish. It is a favourite among decorators, restorers, tradesmen, and marine users for its reliability and durability.
How to Use
As a Rust Inhibitor:
Apply directly to rusted metal. The oil will penetrate, block out moisture and oxygen, and form a strong protective barrier. Once dry, the treated area can be primed or top-coated.
As a Paint Conditioner:
Mix into oil-based paint or primer to reduce drag, improve spreadability, and prevent lap marks. Ideal for large surfaces or hot weather where paint dries too quickly.
