A pH-neutral thioglycolate-based iron remover with enhanced wetting agents for extended dwell time on contaminated surfaces.
Key Chemistry
pH Level
Active Mechanism
optimized thioglycolate chelation
Surfactants
1 (nonionic)
Expert Analysis
Uses (2-Hydroxyethyl)ammonium Mercaptoacetate at 5-12% concentration with specialized nonionic surfactants that extend surface contact time. The pH-neutral formulation (pH 7) provides safer application on sensitive surfaces compared to more acidic iron removers. The enhanced wetting agents allow the thioglycolate more time to chelate iron particles before running off the surface.
Key Differentiators
- •Enhanced wetting agents for extended dwell time compared to standard iron removers
- •Higher thioglycolate concentration range (5-12%) with pH-neutral safety
Potential Concerns
- ⚠Limited ingredient transparency with only 3 disclosed components
- ⚠Extended dwell time formulation may increase risk of staining on porous surfaces

Safety Profile
Notable for what it LACKS: No H290 (corrosive to metals), no H314 (skin corrosion). Transport classification is Class 9 Environmental Hazard (not Class 8 Corrosive like all other thioglycolate products). This represents the mildest safety profile of any dedicated iron remover in the database.
