What challenges does ROC.3 address?
Combines rust and oil removal from steel surfaces to simplify pretreatment before zinc plating or on-site repair.
Key properties of combined rust removal and degreasing
Combined Rust and Oil Removal
Combines degreasing and rust removal, reducing pretreatment stages for suitable steel and zinc-coated surfaces.
Citric–phosphoric acid formulation
Formulated with citric and phosphoric acids rather than hydrochloric, sulfuric or nitric acid. It can be evaluated as an alternative pretreatment to conventional acid pickling before zinc plating.
Corrosion Inhibitor
Contains a corrosion inhibitor to delay rust recurrence after cleaning, allowing an interval before subsequent processing under the specified conditions.
Low Odor
The low-odor formulation reduces odor during pretreatment. Use workplace ventilation and personal protective equipment as specified in the SDS and operating instructions.
Product safety documentation and substance test results
Product documentation includes the applicable Korean safety notification and test records.
Meets the referenced Korean consumer chemical product safety requirements
No detection in 4 reported test items, including formaldehyde and benzene. The referenced Korean safety notification and assessment documents are available.
Child-resistant Packaging Documentation
The referenced packaging passed the applicable child-resistant packaging assessment. Follow the product's storage and handling instructions.
26 Reported Substance Test Items: Not Detected
A report covering 26 non-detected substance test items, including Pb, Cd, Hg and hexavalent chromium, is available. Refer to the report for its scope and test methods.
Based on the product catalog and available test reports. Refer to the original reports for methods and detailed conditions.

Zinc-plating pretreatment and rust removal from equipment and structures
Documented pretreatment applications include repairs to corroded bent sections on solar-support structures.
Pretreatment for On-site Steel Repairs
Removes rust and oil from corroded steel structures to prepare the surface for a compatible repair coating.
Zinc Plating Pretreatment / Pickling Alternative
Can be evaluated as an alternative to hydrochloric- or sulfuric-acid pickling before zinc plating.
Rust removal from tools, equipment and household metal items
For rust removal from suitable tools, equipment and household items in accordance with product directions and safety precautions.
Use with a Protective Coating System
Rust removal and degreasing are followed by G·SAVE protective repair coating, integrating surface preparation and maintenance coating operations.
ROC.3: Key Questions
Review the intended use and application conditions before selecting a rust remover.
How does it differ from strong-acid pickling?
A mildly acidic product based on citric and phosphoric acids, without hydrochloric, sulfuric or nitric acid. Application conditions must be assessed for the substrate and contamination.
How should I choose between liquid and gel?
Consider the liquid for immersion or circulation cleaning, and the gel for vertical surfaces or localized areas where run-off should be limited.
