OVERVIEW

Industrial-Grade Neutral pH Rust Removal Solution

The Walter BIO-RUST (SKU: 53G248) in the 208-liter drum format is a premier solution for industrial-scale rust removal operations. Engineered for safety and efficiency, this liquid formulation utilizes a neutral pH chemistry that selectively targets iron oxide (rust) without compromising the integrity of the underlying ferrous substrate. Unlike traditional acid-based pickling agents or caustic strippers, BIO-RUST eliminates the risks associated with handling hazardous chemicals, making it a compliant choice under OSHA and WHMIS regulations. It is non-flammable, solvent-free, phosphate-free, and contains no Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), ensuring a safer workplace environment and simplified disposal protocols.

This product is specifically designed for immersion applications. The 208L drum is ideal for filling large soak tanks used in maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facilities or manufacturing plants. The solution boasts a high workload capacity, capable of sequestering approximately 1.0kg (2.2lbs) of iron oxide for every 20 liters of fluid, providing a long active bath life before replacement is necessary. Furthermore, BIO-RUST is NSF Category A2 registered, validating its suitability for use in and around food processing areas (where not in direct contact with food), provided parts are rinsed effectively.

Technical application involves immersing degreased ferrous parts into the solution at room temperature. The non-destructive nature of the fluid means it can be used on sensitive components where dimensional tolerances must be maintained. It effectively prepares surfaces for subsequent coating or painting by providing a clean, contaminant-free substrate. Post-treatment simply requires a water rinse to remove loosened contaminants, leaving the metal surface bright and ready for use or further processing.

APPLICATIONS

  • Immersion Cleaning: Designed exclusively for soak tank applications to remove rust from complex geometries.
  • Ferrous Metal Restoration: Ideal for iron, mild steel, and carbon steel parts.
  • Tool & Equipment Maintenance: Safely restores rusty tools, clamps, and fixtures without damaging mechanisms.
  • Surface Preparation: Cleans surfaces down to bare metal prior to painting, plating, or welding.
  • Food Industry MRO: Suitable for use in food plants (NSF A2) for cleaning non-food contact equipment.

FAQ

BIO-RUST is designed for immersion only. Fill a plastic or stainless steel tank with the liquid, ensure parts are degreased, and submerge them completely. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.

No, BIO-RUST is typically supplied ready-to-use. However, always check the specific label instructions on the 208L drum for any specific concentration guidelines for your application.

Because it has a neutral pH and contains no solvents, BIO-RUST generally does not damage paint, plastic, or rubber seals, attacking only the iron oxide. However, testing a small area is always recommended.

NSF A2 registration indicates the product is acceptable for use as a cleaner in soak tanks or with steam/mechanical cleaning devices in and around food processing areas, provided there is no direct food contact.

The solution has a high workload capacity, capable of removing approximately 1.0kg of iron oxide per 20L of fluid. A 208L drum can therefore remove over 10kg of pure rust before exhaustion.

BIO-RUST is VOC-free, solvent-free, and non-hazardous, so it does not emit toxic fumes like acid cleaners. Standard shop ventilation is usually sufficient, but always follow the SDS recommendations.

BIO-RUST is specifically formulated for ferrous alloys (iron and steel). It is not intended for removing corrosion from non-ferrous metals like aluminum or copper.

Once the rust is gone, remove the part and rinse it thoroughly with water to remove loosened contaminants. Since the bare metal is now exposed, you should dry it immediately and apply a primer or rust inhibitor to prevent flash rusting.
