Iron And Fallout Remover

thioglycolate-basedpH-neutralprofessional-gradeready-to-usewarning-labelwheel-safe

Best Value

$0.99/oz

A pH-neutral iron remover utilizing sodium thioglycolate for safe decontamination across various vehicle surfaces.

Key Chemistry

pH Level

7.5

Active Mechanism

thioglycolate chelation

Surfactants

0 (anionic)

Expert Analysis

Uses sodium thioglycolate at 10-30% concentration to chelate iron particles through chemical bonding rather than acidic dissolution. The neutral pH formulation (7.5) allows for safer application on sensitive surfaces like wheels, paint, and trim without the corrosion risks associated with acidic iron removers.

Key Differentiators

  • pH-neutral formulation eliminates acid-related surface damage risks
  • High sodium thioglycolate concentration (10-30%) for effective iron chelation

Potential Concerns

  • Thioglycolate produces characteristic sulfur odor during use
  • May require longer dwell times compared to more aggressive acidic alternatives
