5 Easy Ways to Remove Corrosion from Metals

The elevated salt content in the water and air of sea aerosols is the biggest and the most unavoidable cause of offshore and marine corrosion. With the equipment being constantly exposed to harsh environments, you need quick and easy solutions against corrosion damage.

Cortec® Middle East’s vast portfolio has dedicated VpCI® technology enhanced-products that help you remove corrosion from rusted equipment in a convenient, safe, and cost-effective manner. In this article, we will focus on five Surface Perpetration products that help remove rust and oxides from various metals without affecting the base metal. These are the top Rust Removers in UAE.

VpCI®-422 Organic Rust Remover

VpCI®-422 Organic Rust Remover effectively removes rust and tarnish from steel, iron, copper, and brass. It is effective on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is very easy to use – it can be sprayed, applied, or dipped in. Once the rust-frozen parts loosen up, just rinse it with water. It is non-flammable and biodegradable in nature. It can be used on the exterior surfaces of tanks, vessels, outdoor machinery, and marine equipment.

VpCI®-425 Neutral Rust Remover Powder

VpCI-425 Neutral Rust Remover Powder is used to remove light oxides and staining from copper, steel, and aluminum. It is used on chemical manufacturing equipment like blenders and reactors, heat exchangers, cooling towers, water pipes, etc. When used with water at 5-12% by weight, it has a pH close to neutral. This is why it is so safe to handle, use, and dispose of.

 VpCI®-426 Rust Remover Gel

VpCI-426 Rust Remover Gel helps remove the corrosion, scale, and naturally occurring oxides from iron, carbon and stainless steel, and their alloys. As compared to other products, its highlighting factor is that it stays in place even on a vertical surface. Thus it is used in areas that cannot be sandblasted or cleaned with power tools.

VpCI®-426 Rust Remover Powder

A water-based heavy-duty concentrate, VpCI®-426 Rust Remover Powder removes corrosion, scale, and naturally occurring oxides from iron, copper, carbon, and stainless steel, aluminum, magnesium, and their alloys. It is most known for its unique feature of brightening aluminum and copper surfaces.

VpCI®-427 Aluminum Cleaner

VpCI-427 Aluminum Cleaner is a heavy-duty concentrate specifically designed to remove oxide scale from parts and equipment that are fabricated from aluminum alloys. After dissolving aluminum oxide film from the metal surface, it resists scale formation by preventing depositing it on an oxide scale. It is typically used in aluminum structure elements, automotive parts, and casting.
