Characteristics of SABI KILLER
How it Works
Mechanism of SABI KILLER PRO
➀ ② ③
Apply SABI KILLER PRO directly to the rust. SABI KILLER PRO has a three-layer structure, combining a rust-converting agent, special pigment, and water.)
The rust-converting agent and water react with the rust, and the red rust is converted into black rust, thereby suppressing its spread.

Apply SABI KILLER PRO directly to the rust. SABI KILLER PRO has a three-layer structure, combining a rust-converting agent, special pigment, and water.
What is a rust-converting reaction?
The three requirements for rust conversion are a rust-converting agent,air, and water.
With this combination, a reaction occurs that turns red rust into black rust.
１ Directly applied to the rust (rust removal not required)
SABI KILLER PRO penetrates into the rust layer, converting red rust to black rust which does not spread.
The product must be directly applied to the rust, which does not need to be removed beforehand*.
Since SABI KILLER PRO can be applied as soon as rust is spotted, it can be stored in the home and applied at any time.
The product’ s effectiveness in preventing the recurrence of rust is outstanding. It is used by many companies in various industries as well as by individuals and repeat customers.
*Floating rust, which comes off in clusters when touched, should be removed before application.
2 Time and cost for chipping work (rust removal) is saved
Chipping work (rust removal) is mandatory for conventional rust-proofing coatings. If this is not done properly, the recurrence of rust cannot be prevented, regardless of the coating.
Complete chipping work is difficult even for professionals and a lot of time and cost are required for such work in the present circumstances.
RUSTSAMURAI, however, can eliminate the time and cost of such chipping work and can prevent the recurrence of rust at the same time. It is really a revolutionary paint.
3 SABI KILLER PRO is ecological and safe because it is water-based and dries quickly
Most conventional rust-related products are solvents (oil-based). SABI KILLER PRO, however, is a water-based paint.
The product was created so that it would penetrate deeply into rust to seal it completely, taking advantage of the highly absorptive nature of rust.
It provides a deep seal within the rust but does not have the same odor as a thinner or similar products. Moreover, it is not combustible, making it safe for use in homes.
Since it dries quickly, despite being water-based, it can be used under any circumstances.
Note: The product should be used within six months of opening its container.
4 Transfer the amount needed to another container
The amount of SABI KILLER PRO required for a project will vary depending on where it is applied. Use the product after transferring the appropriate amount to a clean container according to application.
Use the product as is if certain that the entire amount will be used.
*Leftover SABI KILLER PRO can be stored for about six months.
We highly recommend using only the required amount of the product, as it cannot be stored once it has become diluted.
5 SABI KILLER PRO can be easily applied with superb workability and without limiting the application area to rust
The use of conventional rust-converting agents is limited to rusted areas.
However, some parts of metal may have been previously coated whereas other parts may not even be rusted. This can make application of the product difficult.
SABI KILLER PRO can be applied without having to discern between these parts.
This makes the coating work more convenient, thereby improving workability.
6 Coating is possible on zinc-plated surfaces
Usually coatings including rust-converting agents cannot adhere well to zinc-plated surfaces, causing blistering and peeling. As a result, coating these surfaces is difficult. SABI KILLER PRO, however, adheres well to such surfaces, and coating is possible either for touch-ups of rusted places or for the whole surface.
7 Application of oil-based paint for the top coat
Usually, the use of a solvent (oil-based paint) on a water-based paint causes problems such as kinks and peeling.
SABI KILLER PRO is revolutionary since the application of a solvent (oil-based paint) for the top coat is possible.
Naturally, both water-based and other coatings can be applied for the top coat. While only color available for SABI KILLER PRO is silver, finishing in the user’ s preferred color is possible using a top coat paint.
*The coating interval must be strictly observed. If SABI KILLER PRO has not completely dried, kinks may occur.
8 Usable as a rust-proofing primer and sealer
As a primer, SABI KILLER PRO works effectively as a rust-converting agent when applied to rusted places or as a rust-proofing agent when applied to uncorroded metals. This makes it an excellent surface preparation before top coat application.
As a sealer, when SABI KILLER PRO is applied to the previous coat (water-based or solvent-based), it works effectively to prevent problems such as kinks that occur when a strong solvent or a solvent-based coating (oil-based) is applied.
9 Indicates a reaction with rust by discoloration
After being applied directly to rust, SABI KILLER PRO indicates that a rust-converting reaction has occurred when the color changes to black or a brownish color.
The shade of color depends on the condition of the rust, the environment, and the type of metal. Even when discoloration is not detected, the user can be certain that SABI KILLER PRO is working properly.
In principle, SABI KILLER PRO should be applied twice.
If discoloration is detected, be sure to apply SABI KILLER PRO a second time.
10 Choosing re-coating instead of a replacement
Galvanized plates, vinyl house (pipes), or items made of iron installed outdoors will inevitably become rusted.
Replacing them, however, can be difficult due to the costs, amount of time, and effort required. With SABI KILLER PRO, these requirements are mitigated.
Since uncorroded items cannot be restored, corrosion prevention is possible when SABI KILLER PRO is applied to the rust immediately after it is detected.
Maintenance with coating can be performed easily, thereby retarding the degradation of iron and extending its life.
SABI KILLER can be applied in variety of locations
As SABI KILLER PRO is a water-based paint, it has no odor, does not use thinner or other chemicals, and is safe to use without fear of fire. It can be used for all types of rust, both at home and in public works.
