The most common types of mineral lacquer today are mineral lacquer made from coal and other minerals and mineral enamel made from coal ash. Enamel is sometimes added using a chemical process and can produce a gray-brown color.

The term ‘rustoleum’ refers to the naturally colored mineral-based enamel coating that remains in the form of rust on the surface of steel. It is typically added back to surface rust-prone applications as a finishing coat to protect against rust.

Rustoleum does not form a protective coating on steel that is normally used as rust protection. Rustoleum only covers the surface of the surface. The natural rust on steel can readily rust or cause its own rust.

Rustoleum is an added coating that forms on surface rust after exposure to rust-eating bacteria or bacteria that naturally feed on or damage the surface of steel.

When rustoleum is applied when rust begins to occur on the steel, the surface is more porous which allows larger quantities of bacteria to get beneath the surface. The bacteria then feed on these contaminants on the surface.

Why is rustoleum more effective?

With rustoleum, the rust begins to develop at the corrosion point (in this case, the oxidation point of the steel) and the rust-eating bacteria feed on this contamination and continue to feed on the surface of steel over time. The rust-producing bacteria continue to feed only upon a surface that has already been exposed to oxidizer and/or oxidized oxides. Therefore, the bacteria cannot survive on an oxidized surface and must have access to the previously exposed surface.

Rustoleum and salt are very efficient at removing the rust-producing bacteria and oxidising oxides.

How is rustoleum kept in check?

Rustoleum is usually applied as a paste or powder to the steel surface. There are two common formulations of rustoleum.

Powder: powder is a mixture of salt and water. The water is a solution of salt and a non-toxic additive called rustol. The salt helps neutralise the powder and allows it to remain stable on the steel surface for several days or even weeks.

In this formulation, the surface rust is removed by drying the steel, rinsing the surface with water to remove dust or other contaminant, and then rinsing the steel under salt water.

Spray: spray is another formulation of rustoleum and contains salt and
