Expert Analysis

Uses sodium mercaptoacetate as the primary iron-chelating agent in a concentrated thioglycolate system, operating at a mildly acidic pH of 5.5 for effective iron dissolution while remaining safe for coatings. The color-changing reaction provides visual confirmation of iron contamination levels, allowing users to monitor the decontamination process in real-time.

Key Differentiators

  • High active content (10-30% sodium mercaptoacetate) provides faster reaction times than typical iron removers
  • Simplified two-ingredient formulation focuses purely on iron chelation without unnecessary additives
  • Use as iron remover on paint or as a wheel cleaner

Potential Concerns

  • Despite 'pH neutral' marketing claims, actual pH of 5.5 is mildly acidic which may require proper rinsing on sensitive surfaces
  • Absence of surfactants may limit cleaning action on heavily soiled surfaces compared to multi-purpose wheel cleaners
