OVERVIEW

Safe and Effective Industrial Rust Removal

The Walter Bio-Rust 1000 L Tote (53G249) represents the ultimate solution for large-scale industrial rust removal operations. Designed by Walter Surface Technologies as part of their Bio-Circle line, this liquid solution utilizes advanced biological and chemical technology to remove rust from steel and iron without the dangers associated with traditional acid baths or the labor intensity of mechanical abrasion. Because it is supplied in a massive 1000-liter IBC tote, this SKU is specifically tailored for manufacturing facilities, large maintenance shops, and remanufacturing centers that utilize large immersion tanks or ultrasonic cleaning systems.

One of the primary benefits of Bio-Rust is its safety profile. Unlike strong acids (such as phosphoric or hydrochloric acid) often used for de-rusting, Bio-Rust operates at a neutral pH. This means it is non-corrosive to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system, significantly reducing the need for heavy personal protective equipment (PPE) and lowering the risk of workplace accidents. It is also VOC-free, solvent-free, and biodegradable, making it an environmentally responsible choice that simplifies disposal and compliance with environmental regulations.

The mechanism of action is highly specific: Bio-Rust targets iron oxide (rust) without attacking the base metal. This is crucial for precision parts, threaded components, and tools where maintaining the original dimensions and surface profile is essential. You can soak a rusty gear or valve in Bio-Rust, and it will emerge clean and ready for use or painting, with no etching or pitting of the steel. The solution is also compatible with most plastics, rubbers, and paints, allowing for the cleaning of assembled components without complete teardown.

For operations using the 1000L supply, the longevity of the fluid is a key economic factor. Bio-Rust is reusable; it can be used repeatedly until its rust-holding capacity is reached. This high load capacity makes it extremely cost-effective for high-volume processing. Whether you are restoring automotive parts, cleaning industrial tooling, or preparing raw materials for fabrication, Walter Bio-Rust delivers consistent, high-quality results with minimal effort.

FAQ

Bio-Rust is designed for immersion. Fill a tank or container with the liquid and soak your rusty parts. No scrubbing is usually required. Soaking time varies from 30 minutes to 24 hours depending on the depth of the rust.

Yes, Bio-Rust has a neutral pH and is non-corrosive, making it much safer than acid-based rust removers. However, we always recommend wearing standard protective gloves and eyewear in industrial environments.

No. Bio-Rust selectively targets iron oxide (rust) and does not etch or attack the healthy base metal, making it safe for precision parts.

Yes, Bio-Rust is reusable. You can continue to use the bath for multiple batches of parts until the solution becomes saturated and cleaning speed significantly decreases.

Bio-Rust is specifically formulated to remove rust from iron and steel. For cleaning aluminum, Walter offers other specific brightening and cleaning products.

Bio-Rust is typically ready to use. Do not dilute it unless specified for a specific light-duty application, as dilution will reduce its rust-removing power.

While Bio-Rust itself is biodegradable and VOC-free, the used solution will contain iron and contaminants from the cleaned parts. Dispose of it according to your local waste management regulations regarding heavy metals.

Bio-Rust contains a temporary corrosion inhibitor that prevents flash rusting immediately after cleaning, provided the part is dried properly. For long-term storage, a dedicated rust preventative should be applied.
