Remove rust quickly and easily!

Almost everyone has at some point had problems with products, details starting to attack by rust. In most cases, mechanical processing is used to remove rust but there is another way to remove rust and that is with a rust remover.

Cortec VpCI 422 is an environmentally friendly, cost-effective product that is an excellent alternative to time-consuming mechanical processing. Cortec 422 is 100% biodegradable, easy to use and is applied by spray or dip. After application, the rust remover dissolves the rust which can then be washed off with an alkaline detergent (e.g. Cortec VpCI 410 series).

The time to dissolve the rust depends on the size/depth of the rust infestation. Cortec VpCI 422 works on a variety of materials such as metal, wood, plastic and painted surfaces. Unlike other rust removers, Cortec VpCI 422 is citrus based, making it non-toxic and non-flammable. This allows the product to be used in production processes without affecting production personnel in most cases.

The product is approved according to ASTM F-519-05.

Typical applications:

  • Rust removal from parts and components in production flow and in stock
  • Surfaces of tanks and containers
  • Outdoor machinery and tools
  • Cars, lorries, trucks, cranes, etc.
  • Agricultural machinery etc.

Cortec rust removers contain VpCI® technology and are therefore non-corrosive to the metals being cleaned. They are harmless to human skin and to most paints, plastics, rubber types, etc.

Often we can achieve big improvements with very simple and small changes in the production process/flow says the sales manager at Tribotec. Many companies accept to have some rust in their production and thus increased costs and potential quality problems towards the end customer. Sometimes the problems increase during certain times of the year - which may have a natural explanation due to humidity and temperature. With relatively simple methods, we can solve these problems.

Let us at Tribotec tackle the problem instead.

Here you will find some examples of missions.
