To protect metal from rust you may think is a difficult or daunting task. However, it can be very quick, easy and affordable when you use products from Owatrol.
We have a wide range of metal protective oils and finishes for a variety of uses.
Owatrol Oil
Owatrol Oil is a versatile, highly penetrating rust inhibitor that provides a tough, flexible finish. It saturates deep into the metal surface and drives out excess moisture and air from the rusted area and so stops it from continuing to damage your metal.
It can be used on non-ferrous metals for interior and exterior use and on a wide variety of surfaces such as:
- Steel structures, metal fences, railings, garden furniture, pipes, nuts, bolts, screws etc.
- On various machinery, engine parts, trailers etc.
- On boat hulls, tanks and more.

RA85 Aluminium Paint
RA.85 Aluminium Paint is a flexible, high-gloss, anti-corrosive coating fortified with Owatrol Oil to provide premium corrosion protection. RA.85 leaves a highly elastic surface which will not crack, flake or peel and galvanised surfaces do not require weathering or pickling before application.
You can apply RA.85 to both interior and exterior surfaces and on all ferrous and non-ferrous metals. RA.85 has excellent abrasion resistance, withstands chemical attack and is ideal in aggressive climatic conditions where a highly resistant finish is necessary.
It has excellent resistance against the effects of the weathering, UV rays and pollution as well as excellent light and heat-reflecting properties. Once fully cured, RA.85 can withstand temperatures of up to 175ºC!
RA.85 Aluminium Paint can be used on:
- Both internal and external horizontal and vertical surfaces

- Inhibiting rust development on everyday items such as railings and gates
- Resisting corrosive fumes
- Protecting motor vehicles
- Avoiding rusting on construction equipment
- Protecting ballast tanks of ships

AP60
Owatrol AP60 is an anti-corrosive primer for the protection of both new and rusted surfaces. It saturates deep into the surface to the sound metal below, pushing out moisture and air and sealing the underlying surface to form a strong and stable layer.
This gives exceptional, premium protection against corrosion and weathering, whilst also creating a strong, stable layer for other finishes to adhere to. You can overcoat AP60 with any single pack paint or it can simply be left as is in one of the 4 available colours.
As well as metal, AP60 can also be used on other types of surfaces such as plastic, wood, fibrous cement and more!
Some ideal uses for AP60 are:
- Preventing rusting on fencing, railing, gates, guttering etc.
- Providing exceptional protection for machinery and automotive parts
- Guarding against the effect of weathering on steel structures
