US NAVY Southwest Regional Maintenace (Formally SIMA) San Diego - Uses Evapo-Rust in a 500 gallon stainless steel soak tank to remove rust from engines and engine related parts.

DIRECTIONS
EVAPO-RUST^TM is easy to use. Fully immerse the rusted item in EVAPO-RUST^TM and check progress in about 30 minutes; no scrubbing necessary. Soak times will vary from 30 minutes to 24 hours depending on severity of rust, type of steel, and temperature. EVAPO-RUST^TM is water based, therefore the active molecules will slow down as temperature decreases and increase as temperature increases. We recommend utilizing EVAPO-RUST^TM at a bath temperature above 60° F.

EVAPO-RUST^TM has a surfactant to aid in penetrating oils and dirt. However, surface contaminants do slow the process and can shorten the life of EVAPO-RUST^TM . Oils, greases and cosmoline should be removed prior to de-rusting. Cleaning the part prior to soaking in EVAPO-RUST^TM will also help in the disposal of the spent product.

Anniston Army Depot: Using Evapo-Rust in a 2,000 gallon soak tank.

"We have used Evapo-Rust to remove rust from a variety of engine components (blocks, heads, cams, cranks, rods, etc.) and some multi-substrate assemblies...The opertors enjoy the ease of use and the supervisors love the results.
Jeremy Turner - Chemical Engineer, Anniston Army Depot

HOW IT WORKS

EVAPO-RUST^TM works at a pH of 6.1 to 7 (neutral) through selective chelation. This is a process in which a large synthetic molecule forms a bond with metals and holds them in solution. Most chelating agents bind many different metals. The active ingredient in EVAPO-RUST^TM bonds to iron exclusively. It can remove iron from iron oxide, but is too weak to remove iron from steel because the iron is held much more strongly. Click the icon to enlarge the "How it works" picture.

YES, EVEN MOTORCYCLE GAS TANKS
You can use Evapo-Rust to remove the rust from a gas tank in one of two ways described below, depending on if your tank is still attached or has been removed:

1) Completely fill the tank with Evapo-Rust and allow to sit for 2 – 4 hours. Drain completely and rinse well with water. Air dry and fill with gasoline immediately to eliminate flash rust.

2) Pour in 1 gallon of Evapo-Rust and rotate gas tank every hour until the rust has been removed. Drain completely and rinse well with water. Air dry and fill with gasoline immediately to eliminate flash rust.

"I got the "Evapo-Rust" a day or two ago for my WWII Japanese rifle and I must say it exceeds all my expectations and wishes.... the rust melted off. I am shocked and amazed. I threw in a couple of old rusty block planes had laying around and they came out just as well. I hope you don't mind, but I'm telling everyone I know about this stuff."
Jack Jaquess

RUST INHIBITION/PAINTING/COATING
Once the item has been de-rusted, you have several options: 1)Wash and rinse the item off and go to the next process for painting, coating, etc. 2) Wash & rinse the item off and apply a long term rust inhibitor such as Rust Bandit (Water Based Rust Inhibitor) or CarWell CP90 (Oil Based Rust Inhibitor); or 3) Wash and rinse the item and dip back into EVAPO-RUST^TM, remove and let dry. EVAPO-RUST^TM will provide about 10-14 days of rust inhibition, depending on the humidity. Wash and rinse when ready to paint or apply long-term CPC such as Rust Bandit or CarWell CP90.

WEAPONS/FINISH COMPATIBILITY
EVAPO-RUST^TM is highly recommended by the NRA gunsmithing school and is utilized by FBI, CIA, NATO and other law enforcement and forensics agencies. EVAPO-RUST^TMperfect for removing weapon finishes such as Bluing, Parkerizing, Zinc Phosphate, and Browning. Anodizing, powder coating, chrome, nickel, paint, and most other coatings will not be removed as long as they do not contain oxides. EVAPO-RUST^TM will not harm lead or solder points.

TRANSPORTATION/DISPOSAL
EVAPO-RUST^TMis non-hazardous and ships U.S. Postal, UPS or regular freight (class 55). The product is sewerable in neat form and, in most cases, only the chelated iron content of the solution will dictate disposal requirements. The pH of virgin EVAPO-RUST^TM is 6.1. The pH of the spent solution will vary from 6.1 to 7, which means there is no need to neutralize the already neutral solution. Check with your local water treatment facility and dispose of according to local, state, and federal guidelines.

LIFE/CAPACITY/STORAGE
EVAPO-RUST^TM has an indefinate shelf life* and can be used over and over until it absolutely stops working. Only water is lost to evaporation. EVAPO-RUST^TM has a tremendous work load. One gallon can remove 1/2 pound of pure dry rust. Rust is about 1/17 the weight of iron by volume, which means its workload is substantial. On average, one gallon de-rusts up to 300 pounds of light to moderately rusted steel. As the iron is removed from the iron oxide, carbon from the rust is released. Some parts may have a black film after using EVAPO-RUST^TM. High carbon steel and tool alloy steel items, when de-rusted, will have a darker appearance. The carbon can be removed simply by wiping with a cloth when rinsing with water. The more you de-rust, the blacker the solution becomes. EVAPO-RUST^TM is spent when it is pitch black and no longer performs.

*Shelf life is for un-opened product. Once opened, The life of the bath will vary due to biodegradability (bacteria introduced into the solution). After using Evapo-Rust, it is better to cover the solution, but still allow air to the bath. Pouring the solution back into a sealed container will allow the anaroebic bacteria to begin the degredation process. Used, open baths have continued to operate for over a 12 month period.
