That product has one of the worst, compliance-skirting, dirty corporate capitalist Safety Data Sheets I've ever seen, and I've reviewed thousands. It's water plus 5% we're not going to tell ya without a subpoena.

I’ll have to take your word for it!I hate to say it, but he's wrong. The TEA-phosphate is the chelator, but the secret ingredient is the synthetic sulfur bearing terminal receptor. So he identified the garbage truck, but didn't identify the landfill. Without the receptor, the chelator would fill up and the solution would stop working rather quickly. I found some candidates for the sulfur bearing compound, but I think they're too simple, I'm guessing that the Evaporust receptor is a bit of a bulky, polymerized blob with a lot of sulfonated or sulfated sites for high capacity.

I think the reason the reviews on Amazon (both .uk and .com) have, in addition to the majority 5 star reviews, a significant number of 1 star reviews, is that people just don't read and understand instructions properly.However Evaporust works it works very well.
Brilliant product IMO.
8 MONTHS?I have a few items I want to bring back to life . NO precision stuff , but doo dads and whatever . I used this on a chuck and soaked it for 8 months or so . Came out worse than when it went in . My fault for forgetting all about it . I'm comparing this to simple , cheap white vinegar this time . Will post results .

John,
I suspect I'll just have to nod along and whisper "right,....... magic", but thought I'd ask..........
Can you explain (hopefully in more basic language than above) how it pulls the iron from iron oxide, but leaves the iron in the base metal alone?
Is it just the way that the iron in the iron-oxide is available for chemical bonding?
Sort of a key and lock, or pattern of bond locations type thing and the iron-oxide presents differently than the other iron molecules mixed with carbon, manganese, nickels, chromium, molybdenum, etc.
Somehow I have a basic view of simple chemistry as "molecular hooks"; soaps hook to water and oils, etc.
I don't know if this idea was taught to me, or if it just something my brain threw together when trying to get thru the few, limited classes I took.
Got any book recommendations for low-level chemistry wanna-be types? Something between Bill Nye and my son's 20lb "Organic Chemistry" university text book.
Thanks for any guidance!
Brian
