Expert Analysis
This is a thioglycolate-based iron remover that uses sodium mercaptoacetate as the primary chelating agent to form colored complexes with iron particles. The formulation includes dual anionic surfactants for enhanced cleaning and penetration, along with 2-butoxyethanol as a co-solvent to improve performance on various contaminants.
Key Differentiators
- •High concentration thioglycolate system
- •Dual anionic surfactant blend
- •Professional-grade chelating performance
Potential Concerns
- ⚠Requires PPE due to skin and eye irritation potential
- ⚠Contains 2-butoxyethanol which requires adequate ventilation
