Fast, controlled rust and scale removal without attacking base metal.
Derustine is our range of inhibited acid formulations that dissolve rust, mill scale and oxide layers from ferrous surfaces, restoring a clean base for further processing.
Corrosion inhibitors in every Derustine grade protect the base metal while the formulation works — so parts come out clean, not etched.

Rust dissolving in Derustine acid solution
Corrosion inhibitors prevent over-etching while rust and scale dissolve.
Shorter immersion times keep parts moving through the line.
A more controlled handling profile than uninhibited acid treatments.
Grades suited to full tank processing or localized spot treatment.
Matched to your scale thickness and line time.
General rust and scale removal for immersion tanks.
Higher-strength formulas for heavy mill scale and re-work stock.
Lower-strength grades for touch-up and spot treatment work.
Tell us your scale condition and throughput, and our technical team will recommend the right grade.
