How
To Use:
Step One:
In a container, pour a sufficient amount of
EVAPO-RUST™ to completely cover the rusted
object. |
 |
Step Two:
Immerse the rusty object in the solution
and leave it for 10 minutes for light rust or
up to overnight for extremely heavy rust.
|
 |
Step Three:
When finished, rinse item with water. If deep rust remains in pits, re-immerse
item until all the rust is gone. Un-rusted metal will not be affected. |
 |
Step Four:
To prevent flash rusting, dip the item back into solution. Then allow item to
air dry. This will prevent rust for up to two weeks.
Heavy rust removed in six hours at room temperature |

EVAPO-RUST™ works through selective
chelation. This is a process in which a large synthetic
molecule forms a bond with metals and holds them in
solution. Most chelating agents bind many different
metals. The active ingredient in EVAPO-RUST™ bonds
to iron exclusively. It can remove iron from iron oxide
but is too weak to remove iron from steel where the
iron is held much more strongly. Once the chelating
agent has removed the iron, a sulfur bearing organic
molecule pulls the iron away from the chelator and
forms a ferric sulfate complex which remains water
soluble. This frees the chelating agent to remove more
iron from rust.
For best results, bath temperature should
be 60°F or higher. One gallon of Evapo-Rust will de-rust
up to 300 lbs of moderately rusted steel.
Evapo-Rust is highly recommended by the
NRA Gunsmithing School and will remove blueing, browning,
zinc phosphate, zinc plating and cadmium plating in approximately
30 minutes. It will not harm solder points or lead and
preps the surface for refinishing like no other product.
