Product Description
Product Description
After cleaning and drying, items are ready for immediate painting or welding. Additionally, to maximize the effectiveness of AxxaClean™ 2048 safe rust remover, we recommend rinsing cleaned items with a 5% solution of AxxaVis™ HST-10 and drying thoroughly with filtered compressed air. Furthermore, you may further protect your metals from future rust with ZERUST® VCI films and VCI papers. Lastly, for metals that are prone to rust, such as cast iron, use a ZERUST® RP such as Axxanol™ or Axxatec™. Despite its potency against rust, AxxaClean™ 2048 rust remover remains generally safe for use on paint, gaskets, rubber, and plastics. Nonetheless, we advise testing the product before full application to ensure compatibility.
