Chemical Rust Removers:
Acid-Based: These contain strong acids (like phosphoric or hydrochloric acid) that react with rust to dissolve it. They’re effective but can be harsh and may require safety precautions.
Examples: Naval Jelly, Loctite Rust Dissolver.
Chelating Agents: These are milder, water-based solutions that bind to rust and remove it without damaging the underlying metal.
Examples: Evapo-Rust, WD-40 Specialist Rust Remover Soak.
Rust Converters: These convert rust into a stable, paintable surface. They’re useful when complete rust removal isn’t practical.
Examples: Corroseal, Rust-Oleum Rust Reformer.
