Expert Analysis
This is a thioglycolate-based iron remover that uses sodium thioglycolate as the primary chelating agent at relatively high concentration (10-20%). The acidic pH of 3 enhances the chelation process while the multi-surfactant system provides good cleaning and wetting properties.
Key Differentiators
- •High concentration thioglycolate system
- •Acidic pH for enhanced performance
- •Multi-surfactant cleaning system
- •Color-changing indication
Potential Concerns
- ⚠Acidic formulation requires careful handling
- ⚠May cause skin and eye irritation
