| SAFELY REMOVES RUST FROM VERTICAL AND HARD-TO-SOAK SURFACES
Rust Bomb rust remover gel is a powerful and natural rust remover designed to aid in rust removal on vertical surfaces and surfaces too large to soak in Evapo-Rust. Rust Bomb is a biodegradable and non-hazardous formulation which works by employing a combination of modified chelators and rust inhibitors. Rust bomb is designed for rust (iron-oxide) and does not harm aluminum, copper, brass, rubber, plastic, or vinyl. Rust Bomb is supplied in a large, open mouth container for easy applications.
Items to be de-rusted with Rust Bomb should be free of dirt, oil, rust. Apply Rust Bomb to surface using brush, putty knife and check progress periodically. De-rusting process depends on the severity of rust and will take between 5 minutes to 24 hours. Deep rust may take several applications. Rinse with water after de-rusting and apply appropriate protective coating such as paint or Rust Bandit water based rust inhibitor.

Rust-Bandit Water Based Rust Inhibitor
 |
Rust Bandit is a liquid compound that inhibits rust on all ferrous metals. It is designed for use on parts that are stored indoors. Protection is provided immediately upon exposure to Rust Bandit with no stress change in the metal. Rust Bandit is great for protecting parts after de-rusting with Evapo-Rust rust remover. It dries fast with a clean, non-tacky feel and will not damage any polymers, plastics, coatings, and most paints. Rust Bandit prevents rust up to 12 months, depending on dilution and has an indefinite shelf life prior to use. Rust Bandit is not based on amine or nitrates, but rather the most recent advancements in rust protection chemistry which combines sebacic acids and salts. |
PERFORMANCE
- Rapidly coats and inhibits corrosion on all ferrous metals
- Dries fast with a clean, non-tacky feel
- Non-corrosive
- Non-flammable
- Biodegradable
- No HAP’s
- No DOT restrictions
- Easy and safe to use
- Safe on soft metals, plastic, rubber, PVC and other surfaces unharmed by water alone
Internal tests using the ASTM D 1748-83 method (~130 degrees Fahrenheit and ~100% Relative Humidity) indicate Rust Bandit will inhibit rust from forming for up to 12 months. However, many factors will impact the length of protection time for any rust inhibitor. If the item treated is smooth machined steel, then the protection can last longer than 12 months. Conversely, if the item has an irregular shape with high energy points, then the protection will be closer to the 6 month period. Other factors such as temperature and humidity will also affect the lifespan of any rust inhibitor. Rust is less likely to form below an ambient temperature of 65 degrees Fahrenheit. If the storage facility is near the ocean, a salt fog or high humidity can impact the life of the protective coating.
DIRECTIONS
Clean parts to allow Rust Bandit to fully contact the metal surface being treated. Immerse, spray, wipe or brush parts in Rust Bandit then allow parts to dry. The protection will be provided immediately upon exposure to Rust Bandit.
- Straight for 6 to 12 months
- Dilution 1:1 with water for 6 months protection
- Dilution 1:4 with water for 6 weeks protection
- Dilution 1:7 with water for 3 days protection
Rust Bandit should be removed prior to treating the metal with any other coating. Rust Bandit can leave a thicker coating in areas where there are angles or corners. This buildup of Rust Bandit could break down any paint or other coating that is applied on top of it. Therefore, we recommend that the Rust Bandit be rinsed off with water prior to another coating or paint being applied to the metal. Rust Bandit is extremely water soluble, and does not need much rinsing to remove it from an object. In general, a 5 second rinse with tap water above 60 degrees Fahrenheit (16 degrees Celsius) is all that is required.
Rust Bandit will typically be depleted during the application process, so disposal is minimized if not eliminated. Check local requirements for any restrictions before disposing through the local sewer system.
