Effectiveness of Rust Removers for Use at Naval Shore Facilities.

Abstract

The Civil Engineering Laboratory has appraised the relative merits of some of the available rust removers and converters to ascertain their suitability for Naval use. The test results indicate that coatings applied to test panels treated with the rust removers provided corrosion protection as good as that of coatings applied to the sandblasted control panels. Therefore, the rust removers are judged satisfactory for Naval use. All three rust converters investigated provided poor protection against corrosion, and their use is not recommended at the present time. (Author)
