QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Q) How does it work?
It works through selective chelation.
This is a process in which a large synthetic
molecule forms a bond with metals and holds them in solution.
Most chelating agents bind many different
metals.
The active ingredient in the rust remover
bonds to iron exclusively.
It can remove iron from iron oxide, but is
too weak to remove iron from steel because the iron is held much more strongly.
Q) Do parts have to be completely clean before sending them?
No. the rust remover has detergents which penetrate
oils and dirt. However, surface contaminants do slow the process.
The soils must be penetrated before it can
come in contact with the rust underneath.
Heavy greases, oil and dirt should be removed
prior to shipping to avoid extra cleaning charges.
Q) Will it remove bluing and other oxide finishes?
Yes it will remove oxide finishing such as
Bluing, Parkerizing, and Browning.
Anodizing is not an oxide finish and will
not be removed.
Powder coating and paint will not be removed
as long as the paints do not contain oxides.
Q) Can you clean other metals such as brass, copper and aluminum?
It is a rust remover, not a "cleaner".
However, it will not harm brass, copper, aluminum,
plastic, rubber, vinyl,
wood, fiberglass, glass, cork, seals, or paint
still adhered to the surface.
We do not recommend use with cadmium coated
steel.
Q) I found some black film on some parts after having the rust removed?
The black is carbon from the steel.
Generally high carbon steel is used in making
items that are flexible (e.g. springs, saw blades, etc.).
High carbon steel and tool alloy steel items,
when de-rusted, will have a darker appearance.
Much of the carbon can be removed simply by
wiping with a cloth when rinsing with water.
Q) Is there any surface not compatible with the rust remover?
The rust remover is not recommended for use
with Cadmium.
