How To Remove Rust Malaysia
Corrosion problem especially the corrosion of metal parts also known as rust can easily take up 3.4% to 5% of the revenue of a company on a yearly basis. In fact, rust can deem parts unusable and potentially life-threatening in the blink of an eye. This goes without saying that repairs and replacement of parts needed due to rust problem are costly. However, rest assured as the good news is that all these costs can be avoided simply with our company’s rust prevention treatments.
Methods to remove rust can be classified into several categories namely the application of acidic solutions, removal by means of mechanical abrasion, and application of commercial chemical coating.
Vinegar, lemon or lime juices are some of the examples of non-toxic household acid that can work wonders for removing rust. An overnight soaking is best for softening the rust before further scraping them off with a crumpled ball of aluminum foil. White vinegar works well generally, but when facing stubborn rust stains, apple cider vinegar is more effective.
Phosphoric acid from cola drinks, naval jelly, and molasses is equally effective too by converting rust or iron oxide into ferric phosphate, an easily removable black coating. Similar to the aforementioned procedure, simply soak the rusted materials into the phosphoric acid rust converter and leave overnight before scraping off the ferric phosphate.
Acidic solutions are sometimes inapplicable for large objects such as cars. In this case, mechanical abrasion is a preferable choice as it is more practical and efficient. Power tools such as power grinder and sander work well for large rust-covered surface areas such as an old boat or an old car. One major disadvantage of using mechanical abrasion method is that sometimes power tools have difficulty reaching certain part of a rusted body especially the inner joints and the corners.
Last but not least, commercial chemical coating can easily be applied on rusted body parts, including the joints and hard to reach places because the coating is applied by a special spray gun. The commercial chemical coating comprises of the best of both world between the cost effective acidic solutions method and the efficient mechanical abrasion method. Moreover, this chemical coating is a sustainable cost-effective solution to rusting problems as it does not only prevent rust but also contains thermal insulation and waterproofing properties. For instance, in our previous project of retrofitting a metal roof, our company is proud to be able to help eliminate the problem weakened structure due to rusting, but also managed to solve water leakage problem from the roof as well as reduce the interior temperature of the building. Talking about how small changes can make a big difference!
