Description

Any of several physical or chemical methods used to remove Rust or rust stains. Examples of physical cleaning methods are: paraffin oil applied with a fine Steel wool, flame cleaning, abrasives, or sandblasting. Examples of chemical rust removers are solutions that contain: ammonium citrate, Citric acid, Oxalic acid, Phosphoric acid (Jenolite, Modalene, Naval jelly), thioglycolic acid, Hydrochloric acid, or Sodium hydroxide. Often sequestrants and/or surfactants are added to aid in the cleaning process.
