Iron rust may be caused by some factors such as contact with moisture or water, oxygen in the environment, pollution, temperature and environmental conditions. Rusting not only reduces the beauty of metal surfaces, but also reduces their resistance to corrosion and breakage.
Rust removers are substances based on organic and inorganic acids that are used to remove iron rust from metal surfaces. These materials are divided into three categories depending on the type of application, the type of rust and the surface used.
Acidic Rust Remover
These rust removers are commonly used in heavy industry and industrial applications and effectively dissolve and remove iron rust. With its high rate of rust removal, it is used for deep rust and large surfaces, and it is used to clean metal surfaces in the automotive, shipbuilding, and metal structures industries.
alkaline Rust Remover
These rust removers have a milder action than acidic rust removers and are designed to remove rust while reducing the risk of metal corrosion. This type of rust remover is suitable for sensitive surfaces, causes less damage to metal and is also non-corrosive when used for special kinds of metals and is applied in household industries and sensitive equipment such as electronic components and small devices.
Neutral Rust Remover
These rust removers’ PH is in the range of 7 and they have no harm to the metals due to their corrosion inhibitor inside.
