Neutral Rust Remover is a new type of product designed to provide a safe, effective way of removing rust from ferrous metals
Traditionally, to de-rust either strong acids or very hot, strong caustic alkali's have had to be used
For the operatives, there are very unpleasant to use and if the process is neglected, they can also cause serious damage to the item being treated
Neutral rust remover overcomes these problems; it has a neutral pH and does not require heating to be effective
