HOW CHEMICAL RUST REMOVER WORKS ?
Chemical rust removers work through various chemical reactions that break down the iron oxide (rust) from the surface of metal objects. Here's a basic explanation of how they work:
Acidic Solution: Many rust removers contain acids, such as phosphoric acid, oxalic acid, or hydrochloric acid. These acids react with the iron oxide to dissolve and break it down. The acid essentially eats away at the rust, loosening its grip on the metal surface.
Chelation: Some rust removers contain chelating agents, such as citric acid or EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid). Chelating agents work by forming chemical bonds with the iron ions in rust, effectively lifting them from the metal surface.
