Rustbuster Phos-Kleen (B) Rust Remover

PHOS-KLEEN B RUST REMOVER AND PHOSPHATING SOLUTION

Phos-Kleen B is a phosphoric acid-based treatment designed specifically for preparing steel surfaces before painting. Use it frequently to remove light surface rust from vehicle body panels or other exposed steel surfaces. This phosphating process is recognized as one of the most effective methods for keeping steel rust-free.

Phos-Kleen B works by phosphating the steel’s surface and passivating any rust spots within the micropores of the steel. It chemically transforms rust into iron phosphate, effectively neutralizing it.

The treatment leaves the surface with a blue-grey colour. After removing any remaining salt (see below), the surface is fully prepared and ready for painting.

Product description A clear liquid high grade of phosphoric acid and industrial strength soaps.

Directions If necessary, clean and degrease the surface first using Rustbuster SP10 or a similar product.
For the best results, ensure the surface is fully wetted. Contaminants can lead to a patchy reaction.

Apply Phos-Kleen B sparingly to surface rust using a brush, spray bottle, or Scotch-Brite pad. Allow the product to work and dry completely.

Once applied, the metal will develop a blue-grey color. Let the surface dry thoroughly, ideally overnight. If the dried surface shows a mixture of blue/grey and white, it indicates that Phos-Kleen B hasn’t fully wetted the surface. This discoloration means that the surface still needs additional degreasing. Repeat the cleaning process as needed.

Cleaning Brushes and equipment used can be washed clean in fresh water. However, once used in Phos-Kleen B we would not recommend using these brushes in any other liquid/paint.

Safety Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves, mask, eye and face protection.
