thioglycolate-basedpH-neutralready-to-usedanger-labelsurfactant-basedheavy-duty

A thioglycolate-based iron remover formulated at full strength with enhanced surfactants for comprehensive decontamination of paintwork and wheels.

Key Chemistry

pH Level

7.5

Active Mechanism

thioglycolate chelation

Surfactants

4 (anionic, nonionic)

Expert Analysis

Uses sodium thioglycolate at 10-20% concentration as the primary iron-chelating agent, maintaining a neutral pH of 7.5 to balance effectiveness with surface safety. The formulation incorporates both anionic and nonionic surfactants to provide cleaning action beyond iron removal, while an improved rheology modifier enhances surface cling for extended dwell time.

Key Differentiators

  • Full-strength ready-to-use formula with high active ingredient concentration
  • Dual surfactant system provides additional cleaning power beyond iron chelation
  • Optimized cling formula extends contact time for thorough decontamination

Potential Concerns

  • Carries 'Danger' signal word indicating significant hazard classification despite neutral pH
  • Still retains characteristic thioglycolate odor despite lower-odor claims
  • High concentration may require careful application timing to prevent surface staining
