Best Value

$1.18/oz

A thioglycolate-based iron remover gel featuring proprietary F.R.G. technology for enhanced surface adhesion and extended contact time on vertical surfaces.

Key Chemistry

pH Level

5.5

Active Mechanism

thioglycolate chelation

Surfactants

2 (anionic, nonionic)

Expert Analysis

Uses sodium mercaptoacetate at 10-20% concentration as the primary iron chelator in a gel matrix designed for superior surface cling. The F.R.G. (Fluid Reverse in Gel) technology maintains liquid-like application properties while providing gel-level adhesion, allowing for extended dwell times even when diluted.

Key Differentiators

  • Proprietary F.R.G. gel technology that combines liquid flowability with gel adhesion properties
  • Maintains effectiveness when diluted due to concentrated 10-20% active ingredient loading
  • Anti-limescale formulation addresses both iron contamination and mineral deposits

Potential Concerns

  • Moderate ingredient transparency with only 4 disclosed components may limit formulation understanding
  • Unknown dilution ratios could lead to improper mixing for optimal performance
