Professional-grade thioglycolate iron remover with excellent transparency. Mid-range thioglycolate concentration with pH optimized for paint safety.
Key Chemistry
pH Level
5.5
Active Mechanism
Thioglycolate chelation
Surfactants
4 (anionic, nonionic)
Expert Analysis
Uses sodium mercaptoacetate (5-10%) as primary thioglycolate chelating agent to bind and dissolve ferrous particles. Color-changing indicator (yellow to purple) shows when iron is present and being removed. pH balanced at 5.5 to optimize thioglycolate activity while remaining safe on paint.
Key Differentiators
- •pH 5.5 - optimized for thioglycolate chemistry
- •Sodium mercaptoacetate 5-10% (thioglycolate)
- •Color-changing indicator (yellow to purple)
- •Safe for all wheel types including coated
- •Strong surfactant system (4 surfactants)
Potential Concerns
- ⚠Serious eye damage hazard - requires eye protection
- ⚠May cause allergic skin reaction
