What Is EVAPO-RUS Rust Remover
What Is EVAPO-RUST®?
EVAPO-RUST® is an award-winning, pH-neutral rust remover that works through selective chelation—a process where synthetic molecules bond specifically to iron oxide (rust), lifting it into solution while leaving the base metal untouched. It’s biodegradable, non-toxic, and safe on plastics, paint, rubber, and other materials. Ideal for soaking rusted assemblies without fear of damage.
✅ How EVAPO-RUST Works
- The chelating agent targets iron oxide—the rust—leaving iron or steel untouched.
- As rust dissolves, the solution darkens and turns black when spent.
- No scrubbing, no sanding: just soak, rinse, and repeat if needed.
Rust Removal Tips
- Timing: Light rust may clear within ~1 hour; heavy corrosion can take 12+ hours.
- Temperature: Works best above ~18 °C; warmer solution = faster results.
- Preparation: Contains detergents, but removing grease first improves effectiveness.
Reusability & Bath Life
EVAPO-RUST can be reused multiple times, but performance decreases as the solution darkens. Once it turns black, it should be replaced. Some users filter the bath to prolong its life, but for best results, discard when performance drops.
Post-Soak: Rinse & Protect
- Always rinse components with clean water after soaking.
- For embedded rust, re-soak after rinsing.
- Protect with Q20 or CRC 2-26 after treatment for long-term rust prevention.
How to Use in Cooling Systems
- Drain and rinse the system with water.
- Fill with undiluted EVAPO-RUST.
- Run engine under normal conditions, then let sit for a few hours or overnight.
- Drain system into a container.
- Flush with water; repeat if necessary.
- Refill with proper coolant/antifreeze.
Material Compatibility
- Safe on paint, copper, brass, aluminium, rubber, plastic, glass.
- Removes bluing and oxide coatings but not anodizing or intact powder coating.
Common Applications
- Tools, hardware, shop equipment
- Antique or vintage items
- Heavy machinery and automotive parts
- Reloading gear or precision components

Quick Comparison Table
| Feature | EVAPO‑RUST® |
|---|---|
| Mechanism | Selective chelation (rust-specific, pH-neutral) |
| Safe On | Plastic, paint, rubber, brass, aluminum, etc. |
| Not Effective On | Oxide finishes (bluing), plating if rusted underneath |
| Reusability | Yes – until bath turns black / loses strength |
| Best Conditions | Immersion; 18 °C+; clean surface |
| Applications | Tools, engines, antiques, machinery, cooling systems |
What Users Say
“Evapo‑Rust works way better in general. It doesn’t seem to damage anything else it touches that’s not rusted metal… you don’t need to scrub anything… it’s well worth it.”
“...binds with oxygen in the rust and leaves the metal alone.”
Final Thoughts
EVAPO‑RUST is a powerful yet gentle rust remover—safe enough for hands and plastics, but tough enough to rejuvenate rusted iron without harsh acids. Perfect for DIYers, mechanics, and restorers who want effective rust removal with minimal risk to base materials.
