OVERVIEW

Industrial-Grade Rust Removal with Environmental Safety

The Walter BIO-RUST 20L (53G247) is a breakthrough in industrial maintenance chemicals, offering a powerful yet safe solution for eliminating rust from ferrous metals. Designed for heavy-duty MRO applications, this liquid solution utilizes a neutral-pH formula that selectively targets iron oxide without attacking the base metal, plastic, or rubber seals. This makes it an indispensable asset for facility managers and maintenance teams looking to restore valves, gears, fittings, and machinery components without the risks associated with traditional acid baths or the labor intensity of mechanical abrasion.

One of the standout features of BIO-RUST is its impressive safety profile. It is non-corrosive, non-flammable, and free from Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), solvents, and phosphates. This ensures a safer working environment for employees and simplifies storage and disposal compliance. The solution is biodegradable, aligning with modern environmental standards while delivering aggressive performance. With the capacity to remove approximately 1.0kg (2.2lbs) of rust per 20L pail, it offers excellent longevity and cost-effectiveness for high-volume workshops.

BIO-RUST is also NSF Category A2 registered (Registration No. 146173), making it suitable for use in and around food processing areas where soak tanks and steam cleaning compounds are permitted. The application process is straightforward: simply immerse the rusted parts in the solution at room temperature. There is no need for heating elements or complex setups. After a soak time of at least 30 minutes (or longer for deep rust), parts emerge clean and ready for rinsing. This passive cleaning method allows technicians to focus on other tasks while the chemistry does the work, optimizing labor efficiency in busy industrial environments.

Whether you are maintaining a fleet of vehicles, refurbishing plant equipment, or managing a tool crib, Walter BIO-RUST provides a reliable, non-hazardous method to extend the lifespan of your metal assets. Its ability to work on all ferrous alloys ensures versatility across a wide range of maintenance challenges.

FAQ

BIO-RUST is designed for immersion use. Pour the liquid into a plastic container or dip tank, immerse the rusted parts completely, and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. For heavy rust, longer soak times may be required.

Yes, it is highly recommended to remove oil, grease, and loose dirt from the parts before immersing them in BIO-RUST to ensure the solution can directly contact the rust.

BIO-RUST is formulated specifically for ferrous alloys like iron and steel. It is non-corrosive to these base metals. It is not intended for non-ferrous metals like aluminum or copper for rust removal purposes.

No, BIO-RUST works effectively at room temperature. Heating the solution is not necessary and generally not recommended.

BIO-RUST has a neutral pH and is non-caustic, non-flammable, and solvent-free, making it much safer than acid-based rust removers. However, standard safety precautions like wearing gloves and eye protection are always recommended.

Once the rust is removed, take the part out of the solution and rinse it thoroughly with water to remove loosened contaminants. Dry the part immediately to prevent flash rusting.

The solution will darken as it absorbs iron oxide. A 20L pail can remove approximately 1.0kg of rust. When the cleaning action slows down significantly despite soaking, it may be time to replace the solution.
