Cortec®'s range of environmentally friendly and economical metal treatment products includes biodegradable cleaning agents and paint removers. If rust is to be removed from a metal surface, often impurities and paint residues must be removed first.
You can usually determine with a quick visual inspection whether an object needs to be pre-treated. In some cases, especially heavily corroded items with thick coatings, the rust must be removed before getting down to a "layer" of contamination or paint that needs to be removed.
