A high-concentration thioglycolate iron remover with integrated surfactant technology designed for heavy brake dust and industrial fallout removal on paint and wheels.
Key Chemistry
pH Level
8.0
Active Mechanism
thioglycolate chelation
Surfactants
3 (anionic)
Expert Analysis
Utilizes sodium mercaptoacetate at 20-30% concentration as the primary iron-chelating agent, working through thioglycolate chemistry to dissolve ferrous contaminants. The formulation integrates anionic surfactants to provide simultaneous cleaning action, while the alkaline pH of 8 optimizes the chelation reaction and enhances the visual purple color change indicator.
Key Differentiators
- •Exceptionally high 20-30% sodium mercaptoacetate concentration for aggressive iron removal
- •Integrated surfactant system combines iron chelation with general cleaning in one step
Potential Concerns
- ⚠Danger signal word indicates significant safety precautions required during use
- ⚠High active concentration may require careful dwell time management to prevent surface damage
