A thioglycolate-based iron remover featuring 20-25% ammonium thioglycolate concentration with neutral pH for safe use on delicate surfaces.
Key Chemistry
pH Level
7.5
Active Mechanism
thioglycolate chelation
Surfactants
2 (anionic)
Expert Analysis
Uses a high concentration (20-25%) of ammonium thioglycolate to dissolve iron particles while maintaining a neutral pH of 7.5 for material compatibility. The formulation includes anionic surfactants to enhance cleaning performance and features a banana candy fragrance to mask the typical sulfur odor of thioglycolate-based products.
Key Differentiators
- •High 20-25% thioglycolate concentration provides strong iron removal capability
- •Neutral pH 7.5 allows safe use on delicate surfaces while maintaining reactivity
- •Banana candy fragrance replaces harsh sulfur odor typical of thioglycolate products
Potential Concerns
- ⚠High thioglycolate concentration may be excessive for light iron contamination
