Recommended Dilution & Application
For heavy rust and severe corrosion deposits, RXSOL Rust Remover may be used neat or at high concentration, subject to the substrate and the approved product formulation.
For medium rust, a typical starting dilution of 1 part product with 1–3 parts water may be used.
For light rust, oxidation and routine maintenance, dilution may be increased to approximately 1:5 to 1:10 with water.
Apply the prepared solution uniformly to the rusted area using a suitable acid-resistant brush, spray equipment or immersion tank. Allow sufficient contact time for the rust to soften and dissolve. Agitation or brushing can accelerate removal of stubborn deposits.
Do not allow the product to dry on the surface. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
For steel surfaces that will not immediately be painted or coated, an appropriate neutralization/passivation or temporary corrosion-protection treatment is recommended to minimize flash rusting.
Immersion Cleaning
Small rusted components such as tools, bolts, fittings and mechanical parts may be immersed in a suitably diluted solution.
Typical procedure:
-
Remove loose dirt, oil and grease before treatment.
-
Prepare the required RXSOL Rust Remover solution.
-
Immerse the component and periodically inspect the surface.
-
Remove when the required degree of rust removal has been achieved.
-
Rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
-
Neutralize where required.
-
Dry promptly and apply corrosion protection if the component is not immediately coated.
