Understanding Rust: The Science Behind Corrosion

Rust forms when iron or steel reacts with oxygen and moisture over time, creating iron oxide. In maritime environments where saltwater and humidity are constant, the rate of rust formation accelerates dramatically.
Left untreated, rust doesn't just corrode surfaces; it weakens structural integrity, damages expensive equipment, and undermines safety. Preventing and treating rust effectively is crucial for prolonging asset life and maintaining high operational standards.

The Role of Rust Stain Removers in Industry

High-performance rust removers like Dubi Chem’s RXSOL Rust Stain Remover RSR are specially formulated chemical blends designed to penetrate, dissolve, and lift rust from a variety of surfaces without damaging the underlying material.
In marine industries, rust stain removers are essential for preserving ship hulls, engine rooms, cargo containers, and dockyard infrastructure. In heavy industry, they're used on cranes, pipes, tanks, and machinery where rust exposure is inevitable.

Rust Stain Remover Applications in the Maritime Industry

Dubi Chem’s Rust Stain Remover is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the maritime sector. From cleaning rust stains on ship decks, engine rooms, and stainless steel tanks to restoring the shine of aluminum surfaces in yachts and marine equipment, RXSOL Rust Stain Remover RSR offers comprehensive protection and aesthetic enhancement.
Moreover, it acts as a surface brightener, making it ideal for use not only on steel but also on brass, copper, aluminum, wood, and ceramic surfaces painted or unpainted.

How Dubi Chem’s Rust Stain Remover Stands Out

How to Use Rust Stain Remover Effectively

Applying Dubi Chem's RXSOL Rust Stain Remover (RSR) is straightforward but achieving the best results requires careful attention to the application method, surface condition, and dilution ratios.

General Application

For heavy stains, RXSOL Rust Stain Remover RSR should be applied undiluted using a brush or sponge. Let it react for 5–10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with fresh water. For light stains, the product can be diluted between 10% to 50% with water, depending on the severity.

Soaking Method

Smaller objects like metal tools or fittings can be soaked in a plastic container filled with diluted RXSOL Rust Stain Remover RSR. After soaking for 10–20 minutes, rinse thoroughly to ensure no residue remains.

Application on Painted Surfaces

For cleaning rust stains on painted surfaces or wooden areas, dilute 1 liter of RXSOL Rust Stain Remover RSR into 2–10 liters of water. Apply using plastic spray or brush equipment, allow it to sit for 10–20 minutes, and then rinse with a strong water jet. This method protects the paint while effectively removing stains.

Tank Cleaning Procedures

When dealing with large tanks:

• Spraying Method: Mix 20 liters of RXSOL Rust Stain Remover RSR with 190 liters of fresh water in a 210-liter drum (10% solution). Spray onto rust-affected areas, let it react for 20–30 minutes, and rinse thoroughly with fresh water using Butterworth machines if available.

• Re-circulation Method: For larger surfaces, a 2%–5% solution is circulated through the cleaning system, heated up to 50°C, and run for at least 3 cycles. After cleaning, tanks should be hot rinsed with 85°C seawater, then fresh water, to ensure no detergent residues remain.

Important Note:

• Always add RXSOL Rust Stain Remover RSR to water never add water into RSR.

• Use only plastic containers and applicators.

• Avoid overheating the solution to protect epoxy/phenolic coatings.

FAQs About Rust Stain Removers

1. How long does it take to remove rust stains using Dubi Chem’s Rust Stain Remover?

The reaction time typically ranges between 5 to 30 minutes, depending on the severity of the rust stain and the surface material.
For light stains, diluted solutions can remove rust within 5–10 minutes.
For heavy or stubborn stains, full-concentration application and a soaking time of up to 30 minutes may be required. In cases of deep-seated rust, a second application may be necessary for complete removal.

2. Is Dubi Chem’s Rust Stain Remover safe for aluminum and delicate surfaces?

Yes, RXSOL Rust Stain Remover RSR is specially formulated to be safe on most common metals, including aluminum, brass, copper, and stainless steel.
However, when cleaning delicate materials like aluminum or brass, it is crucial to rinse thoroughly with fresh water immediately after application to prevent any potential dulling or discoloration.
Always use the correct dilution ratio to ensure optimal results without harming the surface.

3. Can Rust Stain Remover be used in both freshwater and saltwater environments?

Absolutely. Dubi Chem’s RSR is designed for use in both freshwater and saltwater conditions, making it ideal for ships, offshore rigs, and coastal industrial facilities.
Its performance remains stable even when used in humid, marine environments where salt accelerates rust formation.
It is particularly valuable for treating rust on vessels and port equipment exposed to harsh seawater exposure.

4. What makes an industrial rust remover different from household rust cleaners?

Industrial rust removers like Dubi Chem’s RSR are far more concentrated, powerful, and multi-surface compatible compared to household products.
They are formulated to handle heavy corrosion on large metal structures, tanks, ships, and industrial machinery, whereas household cleaners are usually weaker and intended for minor domestic use.
Additionally, industrial products must comply with strict safety, environmental, and operational standards, offering more predictable, reliable results for critical applications.

5. How can rust be prevented after treatment with Dubi Chem’s Rust Stain Remover?

After successfully removing rust with RXSOL Rust Stain Remover RSR, the treated surface often develops a grey/white passivated layer which provides temporary protection against further rusting.
For extended rust prevention:

• Apply a protective coating or paint soon after cleaning.

• Ensure the surface is thoroughly rinsed and completely dried before applying any new coatings.

• Implement regular inspections and touch-up treatments if the metal remains exposed to harsh conditions.
  Using RXSOL Rust Stain Remover RSR before painting not only ensures a clean surface but also significantly improves the adhesion and durability of coatings.
