thioglycolate-basedcolor-changingph-neutralready-to-usewheel-safeheavy-duty

A ready-to-use iron-reactive wheel cleaner that combines sodium thioglycolate chemistry with additional surfactants for comprehensive brake dust removal and general wheel cleaning.

Key Chemistry

pH Level

7.5

Active Mechanism

thioglycolate chelation

Surfactants

4 (anionic, nonionic)

Expert Analysis

The product uses a hybrid approach combining 1-10% sodium thioglycolate for iron chelation with anionic and nonionic surfactants to address both ferrous contamination and general soiling. The pH-neutral formulation (7-8) provides material compatibility while the thickened consistency extends dwell time for better reaction kinetics.

Key Differentiators

  • Hybrid formulation combining iron removal with general cleaning surfactants in one step
  • Uses low-odor thioglycolate variant to reduce sulfur smell during application
  • Thickened consistency for extended surface contact time on vertical wheel faces

Potential Concerns

  • Hazardous classification with 'Danger' signal word requires careful handling and storage
  • May cause chalky residue on softer wheel finishes due to interaction with embedded contamination
  • Moderate ingredient transparency limits ability to assess full formulation compatibility
