PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A powerful acid that can be used to treat oxide stains such as rust or aluminium stains however it requires careful handling.
Natural fibres, wood, steel, aluminium, acetates, Terylene, polycottons and viscose are unaffected by OXALIC ACID.
Nylon may be attacked so if the use of OXALIC ACID cannot be avoided use a more dilute solution for short periods only. Stainless steel, nickel, chrome, anodised surfaces, glass, and ceramic surfaces may be dulled or etched by Rust Remover.
OXALIC ACID is very toxic and is corrosive class 8 for handling (but not for transport). It is not for use at home, only for commercial users who must keep it out of reach of children.
USES

Used as pre soak 1:10 solution (note: Constant use will deposit minerals in machine when reasts with hard water).
Using Oxalic acid to remove rust stains from concrete etc
Method One

With care spinkle a small amount of the oxalic acid crystals on the staining and work in with a broom or deckscrub. Hard scrubbing should not be necessary.
Leave wet for 15- 20 minutes and re- broom.
Hose away after another ten minutes (times are not critical and are suggestions only)
