Rust and corrosion are not only unsightly but can be very expensive for companies. If corrosion starts to appear on your metal products, it may mean the structure becomes compromised, and you may need to replace those essential items. It can also be disappointing for customers; if they receive a metal part that has begun to rust, they will likely send it back to your company for a replacement or refund.
But that’s where ARMOR® rust remover liquid can help. It’s one of the rust removal products that can restore the shine to your metal products. If you’ve ever been curious to know how these rust remover products function, it relies on a scientific process. Read our article to learn more about rust removal products, such as ARMOR’s® Rust Removal Liquid.
Why ARMOR® Rust Removal Liquid is Important
One of your responsibilities when shipping metal products is to send rust-free, high-quality, shiny items to customers. It’s your duty to send metal products that have the right structural integrity so that they function effectively. But what can you do if rust has already set in or your products are vulnerable to corrosion? This is where ARMOR® removal liquid can be very important.
This solution has replaced the oils and solvents that many companies once used to prevent and eliminate rust. It’s an effective solution that doesn’t affect your employees’ health and safety and also keeps the environment free from contaminants. As it’s also a high-quality rust inhibitor that can save your company money and keep metal parts in their perfect condition, ARMOR® rust removal liquid needs to be in your inventory. It can help ensure customers are satisfied with the metal parts you ship to them.
Key Examples of ARMOR® Rust Removal Liquid Products & Other Solutions
There are a few examples of ARMOR® Rust Removal Liquid available in various sizes. From the DRY COAT
RUST Preventative 55 Gallon Drum to the DRY COAT RUST Preventative 5 Gallon solutions, there are many to choose from. Here, we’ll look at these examples in more detail:
- DRY COAT RUST Preventative 5 Gallon Drum: This five-gallon bucket of non-hazardous, non-sticky, clear protective coating is ideal for protecting small amounts of metal equipment and surfaces before storing them in humid indoor environments.
- DRY COAT RUST Preventative 55 Gallon Drum: This 55-gallon bucket of volatile corrosion inhibitor (VCI) infused liquid is ideal for protecting a larger number of metal parts and equipment that you need to store indoors.
- DRY COAT RUST Preventative 330 Gallon Drum: This 330-gallon drum of clear, VCI-infused rust preventative solution is ideal for very large metal equipment. It’s ideal for protecting metal equipment for one year of indoor storage in humid environments.
How ARMOR® Rust Removal Liquid Works
Now, in terms of how ARMOR® rust removal liquid works, it’s an anti-corrosion liquid that you can spray or apply onto the surfaces of metal products with a flow coat or dipping process. It creates a transparent, thin barrier or coating on the surface of the metal.
If we look more closely at how VCI nanotechnology works in VCI packaging, and the specific science behind it, it functions in a two-step process. Its compounds adsorb or stick to the metal surface, and they attach themselves easily since the molecules have a polar attraction to the metal.
The VCI molecules in the ARMOR® Rust Removal Liquid are then released as a corrosion-preventative compound, and this compound stops aggressive ions, humid elements, or moisture-based components in the atmosphere from settling on the metal surface. Its hydrophobic qualities protect the metal parts. In other words, its clear formula repels water or moisture, which is the key to mitigating rust and corrosion.
4 Benefits of Liquid ARMOR® VCI Rust Removal Products
We’ve mentioned that liquid ARMOR® VCI rust removal products are safe to use, but these anti-corrosion solutions also offer a few additional benefits. If you ship metal products, you’ll want to have this solution to hand since it offers the following four additional benefits:
- Non-sticky solution: Unlike the oils and solvents once used for rust prevention, liquid ARMOR® VCI rust removal products are not sticky. They present less of an issue when you apply them to the surface of metal products since they do not stick to gloved hands or make it difficult to move coated metal items to a warehouse or shipping box.
- Long-lasting rust prevention: Liquid ARMOR® VCI rust removal is highly effective for long-lasting rust prevention. Specifically, they prevent rust for up to one year of indoor storage. So whether you’re storing small nuts and bolts or metal piping parts, you can submerge them in the liquid solution or spray this onto their surfaces, and you’ll be able to store them indoors for a year and keep them rust-free.
- Does not attract dirt: Unlike oils and solvents once used for rust prevention on metal parts, liquid ARMOR® VCI rust removal products do not attract dirt or dust elements. It’s a clean solution that dust and dirt will not stick to, making it easier to handle coated elements without getting your hands dirty.
- High-quality rust removal: If you have noticed that rust has already begun to appear on your metal parts, that’s where a liquid ARMOR® VCI liquid can also help. We recommend options such as the METAL RESCUE® Rust Remover Bath, which can remove rust and restore rusty metal to its pristine state. This water-based requires you to submerge metal parts with light rust or heavy rust into the solution—the solution will remove the surface rust and ensure the part looks new.
Metal Surfaces Compatible with Liquid ARMOR® VCI Rust Removal
Liquid ARMOR® VCI Rust Removal also works with a range of metal surfaces. So, no matter if you need to protect rusty tools, equipment, or automotive parts, you’ll be able to rely on this solution. Here are the types of metal you can use this solution with to prevent and remove rust:
- Steel: Applying the liquid ARMOR® VCI Rust Removal solution to steel surfaces can protect this metal from the chemical reactions that typically happen when water settles on its surface. This can be ideal for steel automotive parts that might be exposed to moisture. So, if you distribute automotive parts, you may apply this solution before storing or shipping them to keep them protected.
- Cast iron: Cast iron metal parts are another example of products that are compatible with ARMOR® VCI Rust Removal. You can apply the solution by spraying it onto the cast iron or dipping the cast iron parts into the liquid, and they will remain protected from the elements. This can be ideal for washers, nuts, and bolts that are made of iron. So, if you sell small parts like these, you can use the METAL RESCUE® Rust Remover Bath solution to remove rust and prevent it from forming.
