The product, in plain terms.

Corrosion Assassin is a single water-based liquid that does two industrial jobs: strips existing rust, and lays an iron-phosphate layer that prevents new rust forming. 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.

Materials honesty

Where it works. Where to test. What to avoid.

Industrial chemistry isn't one-size-fits-all. We tell you up front what the product is engineered for, what needs a patch test, and what will damage finishes — before you pour it on the wrong part.

Optimised for

  • Mild & carbon steel
  • Tool steel
  • Cast iron
  • Stainless steel

Most of our documented field results sit here. Best protection windows, best removal speed.

Test first

  • Aluminium
  • Brass & copper
  • Galvanised surfaces

Results vary by alloy and surface condition. Always run a small patch test on a hidden area before treating the full part.

Avoid

  • Chrome plating
  • Anodised aluminium
  • Polished decorative finishes

Will damage these surfaces. Use a dedicated metal-finish cleaner instead.

Pack sizes

Three sizes. One product.

Standard packs for the workshop bench, the production line, and the loading bay. The chemistry inside is the same.

Before you buy

Check it fits your metal and your numbers

See which metals Corrosion Assassin is safe on, and how it compares to grinding and shelf removers on labour and total cost.

One product. Two jobs. Your batch.

Most buyers start with a 14-day controlled trial on a real production batch, measured against their own baseline. We bring the product and the protocol; you bring the parts and sign the outcome.
