Rusteco R-200-3 Features:
- High-Quality Product
- Extremely Cost-Effective

- Provides a High-Adhesion Surface Conclusive for Top Coating
- Long-Term Corrosion Protection
- Works at Ambient Temperatures
- No Shipping, Handling, or Disposal Restrictions
Rusteco R-200-3 Comes in Two Forms:
1. Liquid Blue
- For dipping and pickling applications. Small to very large parts can be immersed in the bath to effectively remove all rust regardless of severity.
- Liquid can be applied by hand sprayers to parts for long-term rust protection for storage and shipping.
- Liquid takes the place of the phosphate treatment stage after degreasing in automated parts washing equipment and systems. This will remove any rust/corrosion, condition the metal for painting, and prevent any flash or micro rust from forming on the surface.
- R-200-3 is a proven additive for closed-loop systems to remove and prevent any internal corrosion (aluminum and galvanized cooling towers, main engine coolers, fire sprinkler systems, etc.)
- Utilized in a hand sprayer for spot removal of rust, mill scale, and to condition freshly welded areas.
- To remove rust/corrosion from inaccessible areas such as fuel tanks, radiators, and deep penetrations.
- Does not require rinsing with water. Surface can be wiped or blown off with air pressure.
- Designed for repeat use. Can be used as a liquid fertilizer when its ability to de-rust has diminished.
2. Gel Blue
Before
Treated with Rusteco
- Primarily the same formulation as the liquid except for the addition of xanthan gum to create a thick viscosity which would allow it to be applied by sprayers, brushes, and rollers on vertical surfaces.
- Provides the same effective rust/corrosion removal and metal conditioning for items that are not suitable for dipping.
- Highly effective for use in remote areas at ambient temperatures.
- After the gel has dissolved the rust, it can be removed easily with power washer.
- The gel can be left on without removing. This will form a coating that will protect the surface for an extended period of time (months to years) until such time that the piece is needed (Because the gel is water-soluble, some form of protection would be required—plastic or tarps—to prevent direct water coming in contact with the gel).
- Gel can be used to remove rust and condition smaller areas by hand.
Rusteco R-200-3 is an extremely flexible, cost-effective, and user-friendly rust removal and corrosion control system that can be easily integrated into virtually any manufacturing or restoration process. Whether it is in-plant or out in the field, Rusteco remains the most effective solution to rust and corrosion problems.

GreaseMaster R-300 Factsheet
The GreaseMaster R-300 is a concentrated liquid that is very effective in applications requiring the removal of mineral, animal, or vegetable fats, oils, or greases (FOG) and is an excellent all-purpose cleaner for industrial, commercial, or residential applications alike.
◈Physical Characteristics
The GreaseMaster is an inviscid fluid with a specific gravity and boiling point very close to that of water. Its primarily effective ingredients are derived from organic plants, generally regarded as safe or permissible under federal regulations CFR 21/178.1010 and 21/182, respectively. The product is stable and non-reactive with other substances and is biodegradable and completely noncorrosive, even in concentrated form.
◈Method of Action
When applied to grease- or oil-contaminated areas, the R-300 binds to these substances drawing them away when the area is rinsed in water. It will effectively and selectively remove all oil or animal fat substances whether they exist as surface deposits or are deeply ensconced in some other material (oil-soaked wood or fabric, for example). After several hours of stagnation of the runoff mixture, the oil/fat contaminants will naturally achieve a very high degree of physical separation. After 24 hours of settling, the GreaseMaster has an oil content of 12.4 ppm, well below the EPA's requirement of 50 ppm for disposal into wastewater treatment facilities. The contaminants can then be easily and economically recovered for subsequent reprocessing or disposal by skimming.
◈20 Great Reasons to Use GreaseMaster:
- Fully Biodegradable
- Safe on All Metals
- Safe on All Fabrics
- Does Not Emulsify Oil with Water
- Acts as Oil Separator
- Can be Directly Painted Over
- Dilution Factor up to 1,000 Times

- No Effect on Skin
- Compatible with All Cleaning Equipment
- No Alkaline Base
- No Disposal Restrictions
- Working pH Near Neutral
- Contains no Phosphates
- Multiple Repeat Uses
- No Shipping/Handling Restrictions
- Exceeds Milspecs on Salt Removal
- Provides Oil-Free Surface
- Ballast Tank Cleaner for Soft Coatings
- Restores Air Coolers Virtually as New
