When faced with a rust-contaminated metal, oxidation can only be eliminated through either abrasive or chemical action. For smaller-scale situations, a minor task using physical force—such as an abrasive product or sandpaper—may suffice. However, larger-scale issues require chemical action, as only a corrosion remover product can provide the effectiveness needed.
CHEMICAL CLEANING WITH A CORROSION REMOVER PRODUCT
One major challenge with attempting to clean oxidation using abrasives is the presence of grease or oil on the metal, which abrasives alone cannot remove. In such cases, only a chemical corrosion remover product can ensure proper cleaning.
Finding such a corrosion remover product has become easier since VCI Brasil entered the anticorrosive fluids market in 2004. The company has since developed many cutting-edge solutions to simplify its clients’ processes.
For rust removal specifically, VCI Brasil offers **LQS 500**, a product that chemically acts on rust as well as petroleum-based residues like oils and grease.
FAST AND SIMPLE CORROSION REMOVER PRODUCT
No other corrosion remover product works as quickly and economically as LQS 500. Its application is simple and can be performed manually with a brush, by immersing the metal piece in the LQS 500 solution, or using an application machine.
In addition to removing all oxidation from the part, LQS 500 prepares the surface for the next production step. After cleaning with a generous amount of running water, the metal piece must be neutralized using VCI Brasil’s V-active protective neutralizing fluids.
Neutralization is critical to halt the chemical cleaning agent’s action, as failure to neutralize will result in continued degradation of the metal, causing future damage.
VCI Brasil’s V-active neutralizers—**MVAqua 350** and **MVAqua 400**—are water-based and organic. They do not need to be removed from the parts before applying any coating, such as paint or other finishes, making the process seamless and efficient.
