BILT HAMBER Korrosol Fallout Iron Remover 1L

BILT HAMBER Korrosol Iron Fallout Remover

A controlled pH non-alkaline fallout remover for the safe and effective removal of embedded metallic particles contaminates the vast majority of road-going vehicles.

You may not have noticed by looking at your paintwork, but next time it’s washed and clean, lightly feel the paintwork, especially the horizontal panels; bonnet, boot lid, roof etc. Very gently, with fingertip touch, you’ll be able to feel a rough grittiness. You may well think this is dust landed from the air – it’s not. Airborne metallic particles liberated by braking surfaces, such as pads and discs, fill the air along our roads. When the car in front of you brakes, your car travels through these hot metallic particles, and they are left embedded in your paintwork.

How these particles destroy paint films

Here they react with rainwater or air moisture and begin to corrode. The corrosion product (rust) occupies four times the iron space, and the paint is slowly ruptured around the embedded particle. This action destroys both the aesthetic and protective qualities of the vehicle finish.

Fast and effective… wash away

While harsh acids such as phosphoric and oxalic acids may be used with good effect to remove the contamination, these acids do not discriminate between corrosion and good steel, not even paint films themselves, so while the particle is removed and base metals or coatings can also be attacked.

Korrosols effective formula is sprayed onto the contaminated panel; a rapid and dramatic colour change occurs, indicating that the corroded part is water-soluble. A rinse with water leaves the panel free of water metallic embedment.

Korrosol is safe to use on all auto body paint finishes, including lacquers.
