Iron Terminator

Uses ammonium mercaptoacetate as the primary iron-chelating agent at a relatively high concentration of 5-15%, which allows for effective iron particle dissolution while maintaining a neutral pH of 7.5. The thioglycolate chemistry provides the characteristic color-change reaction when contacting iron particles, turning purple to indicate active decontamination. The neutral pH formulation reduces the risk of etching sensitive surfaces compared to more acidic iron removers.

Key Differentiators

• •High concentration ammonium mercaptoacetate (5-15%) for strong iron removal performance
• •Neutral pH of 7.5 reduces surface compatibility concerns compared to acidic alternatives
• •Formulated for reduced odor compared to typical thioglycolate products

Potential Concerns

• ⚠Contains ammonium mercaptoacetate which requires proper ventilation and handling precautions
• ⚠Ready-to-use format may be less economical for frequent users compared to concentrates
