Abstract
Abstract An improved, highly penetrating rust remover and/or degreaser composition for metallic surfaces is provided which is chemically inhibited to substantially prevent oxidation-reduction reactions with a metal substrate and limit the action of the composition to a chemical attack on corrosion. The composition is preferably a single phase dispersion and includes respective quantities of an acid such as hydrochloric acid and phosphoric acid, an organic compound containing a nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur atom such as N-(2-hydroxyethyl) oxazolidine, an alcohol or other organic solvent for grease removal, water and one or more emulsifiers (e.g., a derivative of hydrogenated tallow) for stabilizing and lowering the surface tension of the resultant composition. The compositions may be formulated as liquids or with a viscosity control agent such as a polymer of vinyl pyrrolidone to give a paste-like consistency permitting easy use thereof on vertical surfaces, In other forms, the compositions hereof may include a mild abrasive such as activated silica gel.
