Professional-grade iron remover designed for heavy-duty applications in detailing shops and professional car care
Key Chemistry
pH Level
5.5
Active Mechanism
thioglycolate chelation
Surfactants
2 (amphoteric, nonionic)
Expert Analysis
This is a classic thioglycolate-based iron remover using ammonium mercaptoacetate as the primary chelating agent. The acidic pH (5-6) optimizes iron dissolution while the dual surfactant system provides cleaning and foam control.
Key Differentiators
- •High concentration thioglycolate system (10-25%)
- •Professional-grade formulation with strong active levels
- •Color-changing iron indication capability
Potential Concerns
- ⚠Causes serious eye damage - requires careful handling
- ⚠May cause skin sensitization
- ⚠Corrosive to metals - test compatibility first
