The most sought-after corrosion removal product currently is **LQS 500**, offered by VCI Brasil Indústria e Comércio de Embalagens Ltda. With a low pH, it quickly eliminates oxidation, making it a popular choice.
VCI BRASIL CORROSION REMOVAL PRODUCT WITH LOW PH
Its demand stems from its ease of application and the safety it provides. This corrosion removal product can be applied manually using brushes or with handheld machines.
**LQS 500** also removes oils, grease, and other petroleum-derived residues. It is not limited to small metal parts but can also be used on large equipment, including interior surfaces, to thoroughly clean accumulated dirt.
After applying **LQS 500**, it is crucial to rinse the product thoroughly with plenty of running water. Following this step, neutralization is mandatory.
When using VCI Brasil’s **LQS 500**, subsequent application of a neutralizer from the **V-active** line—either **MVAqua 350** or **MVAqua 400**—is required. The choice of neutralizer depends on the market segment and the type of steel being treated.
It’s worth noting that **V-active neutralizers** do not interfere with subsequent processes. Being water-based, they do not require removal before proceeding with further treatments.
CORROSION REMOVAL PRODUCT – HYDRO-JETTING
Some companies opt for alternative methods of using a corrosion removal product, such as hydro-jetting. This is an abrasive technique for removing oxidation from metal surfaces.
For hydro-jetting, VCI Brasil recommends adding its water-based additive **MVSQ 1712** to aid in the temporary preservation of the cleaned metal surface. Part of the **V-active** technology, **MVSQ 1712** features a dual-phase corrosion inhibitor that works both on the surface (by contact) and internally (via vapor).
When using hydro-jetting with **MVSQ 1712**, the cleaned metal surface gains temporary protection, allowing sufficient time for a corrosion inhibitor to be applied—typically in the form of a paint or resin coating—before contamination can occur.
