Corrosion Assassin — Industrial Rust Remover & Corrosion Inhibitor
Corrosion Assassin is a water-based rust remover that does two jobs in one: it dissolves existing rust down to clean bare metal — unlike a rust converter, which turns rust into a black coating you paint over — and it lays an iron-phosphate layer that stops new rust forming. A rust remover for metal that leaves a paint-ready surface. One drum on the shelf instead of two.
How to use it
Apply. Wait. Wipe.
Four-step process on the shop floor. No PPE drama, no caustic chemistry, no specialist equipment. If your team can run a degreaser they can run this.
01
Apply
Spray, brush or dip. Cover the affected surface fully. Use straight, no dilution.
02
Wait
Leave on. Light rust: 10–20 minutes. Heavier oxidation or scale: re-wet as needed until clear.
03
Wipe
Wipe down with a clean cloth. The treated surface is dry and paint-ready. The protective layer is clear — the metal's appearance doesn't change.
04
Protect
Leave the iron-phosphate layer in place for months of storage or transit protection. No top-coat needed.
