OVERVIEW

Restore and Prep Metal Surfaces with Precision

For professional welders and fabricators, surface preparation and tool maintenance are critical to quality work. The Walter BIO-RUST 20L (53G247) provides a superior method for removing rust from steel parts, clamps, fixtures, and welding tables without compromising the integrity of the metal. Unlike grinding or sandblasting, which can alter dimensions or leave surface profiles, BIO-RUST uses a chemical action to lift iron oxide gently. This is particularly valuable when restoring precision tools or preparing delicate parts for welding or coating, ensuring that the original tolerances are maintained.

This 20-liter pail is designed for immersion applications, making it perfect for dip tanks in the workshop. The formula operates effectively at room temperature, eliminating the need for heated tanks. Simply degrease your parts, submerge them in the BIO-RUST liquid, and let the solution work. The neutral pH formula is non-caustic, meaning it won't burn skin or corrode non-metallic components like plastic handles or rubber gaskets found on welding guns and accessories. This user-friendly characteristic sets it apart from harsh pickling pastes or strong acid dips often found in metal fabrication shops.

Efficiency is key in any fabrication shop, and BIO-RUST delivers with a high contaminant load capacity. A single 20L pail can dissolve up to 1.0kg of rust, providing long-lasting performance before the solution needs replacement. Once the rust is removed, the parts can be rinsed with water and are immediately ready for the next stage of production, whether that is painting, plating, or welding. For short-term corrosion protection after rinsing, a compatible corrosion inhibitor can be applied.

In addition to its performance, BIO-RUST is an eco-conscious choice. It is biodegradable, solvent-free, and phosphate-free, reducing the environmental footprint of your shop's operations. By choosing Walter BIO-RUST, you are investing in a solution that protects both your valuable equipment and the health of your workspace, ensuring that your tools and materials are always in top condition for the next job.

FAQ

BIO-RUST is designed for immersion use. Pour the liquid into a plastic container or dip tank, immerse the rusted parts completely, and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. For heavy rust, longer soak times may be required.

Yes, it is highly recommended to remove oil, grease, and loose dirt from the parts before immersing them in BIO-RUST to ensure the solution can directly contact the rust.

BIO-RUST is formulated specifically for ferrous alloys like iron and steel. It is non-corrosive to these base metals. It is not intended for non-ferrous metals like aluminum or copper for rust removal purposes.

No, BIO-RUST works effectively at room temperature. Heating the solution is not necessary and generally not recommended.

BIO-RUST has a neutral pH and is non-caustic, non-flammable, and solvent-free, making it much safer than acid-based rust removers. However, standard safety precautions like wearing gloves and eye protection are always recommended.

Once the rust is removed, take the part out of the solution and rinse it thoroughly with water to remove loosened contaminants. Dry the part immediately to prevent flash rusting.

The solution will darken as it absorbs iron oxide. A 20L pail can remove approximately 1.0kg of rust. When the cleaning action slows down significantly despite soaking, it may be time to replace the solution.
