Areas of Application
- On rebars during repairs to reinforced concrete structures
- Maintenance of mild steel structures like tanks, water pipelines shuttering plates and other corroded steel surfaces.
Method of Application
- In case of heavy rusting of steel reinforcement, M.S. pipelines, M.S. plates or any other M.S. surface, remove the loose
rust by wire brushing, chipping, hammering or grinding so that majority of rust scale is removed.
- Apply Dr. Fixit Rust Remover on affected surface by using cotton waste swab or by brush application. Leave the surface
to react with Dr. Fixit Rust Remover for atleast 15 to 30 minutes.
- The rusty surface will change its colour to original blackish steel.
- Then remove the loose rust particles by scrubbing or simple dusting with the brush.
- When applied over corroded reinforcement steel, wash the surface with clean water before taking up further work of
repairs.
Precautions & Limitations
- Dr. Fixit Rust Remover is acidic in nature, when applied to clean the rusted rebars. Ensure that traces of acid are
removed completely by washing with a water jet, before applying coatings / primers.
- lt should not be used to clean rusted rebars in critical RCC structures
- For the rough removal of rust, opt for shot blasting.
