NOVACHEM RUST REMOVER is a liquid cleaner formulated to remove rust and dirt stains from metal, wood, tile and painted surfaces. It is effective as a phosphatizer, metal, conditioner or wash primer prior to painting steel surfaces NOVACHEM RUST REMOVER is safe on brass, cooper, aluminium, stainless steel and chrome. It will effectively clean, brighten, and protect metal surfaces from rust.

NOVACHEM RUST REMOVER is normally used full strength for removal of oxides from metal surfaces but can be diluted with fresh water for removing rust stains from painted surfaces. For best results, surfaces to be cleaned should be free of oil and grease. It is excellent as a general purpose cleaner brightener but it is not intended for the removal of heavy rust or scale deposits not for use on zinc or galvanized metals.

Apply NOVACHEM RUST REMOVER full strength with brush, rag, spray, etc. Wash off with water after about 15 minutes. Do not allow NOVACHEM RUST REMOVER to dry on metal surface as it may leave a hard white deposit on the surface: If oxide is not gone after 15 to 20 minutes' soaking lime, apply another coat or NOVACHEM RUST REMOVER to the surface to prevent drying.

Steel Surfaces:

Remove any oil and grease. Remove old paint and scale by chipping or wire brushing. Wet down entire surface with NOVACHEM RUST REMOVER and allow to dry. If rust exists in pitted surface, more than one application may be required to remove rust. Surface should have a grayish white appearance when NOVACHEM RUST REMOVER is dry. The steel surface will now have a high resistance to rust and will present a good tooth for bonding of paint.

Phosphatizing Steel Surfaces:

NOVACHEM RUST REMOVER is applied full strength to an oil/grease-free steel surface and allowed to soak for 15 to 20 minutes. Wash surface thoroughly with fresh water and remove as NOVACHEM RUST REMOVER. The surface will now be rust resistant.

Rust Stains on Wood or Painted Surfaces: Heavy rust stains may require full strength NOVA RUST REMOVER but light stains will disappear with diluted solution of RUST REMOVER and water. Use approximately ½ parts of fresh water with one part of RUST REMOVER. Apply solution with brush rags, spray etc. and allow to soak 20 to 30 minutes. Wash off with water. Make second application to removed stubborn stains.
