Best Value
$0.54/oz
A consumer-grade thioglycolate iron remover designed to dissolve embedded iron particles and brake dust from paint, glass, and chrome surfaces.
Key Chemistry
pH Level
Active Mechanism
thioglycolate chelation
Surfactants
1 (amphoteric, nonionic)
Expert Analysis
Uses sodium thioglycolate at 5-10% concentration as the primary chelating agent to dissolve iron contamination through chemical reaction. The mildly acidic pH 4 formulation provides effective iron dissolution while remaining gentle enough for consumer use on painted surfaces. Amphoteric and nonionic surfactants aid in contaminant removal and provide cleaning action.
Key Differentiators
- •Consumer-friendly formulation with moderate thioglycolate concentration for safer handling
- •Multi-surface compatibility for paint, glass, and chrome applications
Potential Concerns
- ⚠Sulfur odor typical of thioglycolate-based iron removers during use
- ⚠Should not be used on bare aluminum or magnesium surfaces without testing
