    Where to use ALSTRONG RR-170: rust remover for steel and iron

    ALSTRONG RR-170 is a rust remover based on a phosphoric acid blend, made for iron and steel surfaces. You apply it liberally by brush, or use immersion, and leave it to react. After a scrub with a wire brush and a rinse with clean water, you are left with a clean metal surface.

    • Rusted steel surfaces

      Brush on liberally, leave to react, then wire brush and rinse.

    • Old iron structures

      Clears rust from old ironwork before a primer is applied.

    • Machinery parts

      Machinery parts can be treated by brush or immersion.

    • Bolts and fasteners

      Immerse or brush rusted bolts and fasteners, then scrub clean.

    • Vehicle chassis

      Brush onto chassis rust and rinse off with clean water.

    For rust removal before priming or painting, this rust cleaning chemical needs 15–30 minutes of reaction time on the surface. Coverage depends on the rust level. Scrub with a wire brush, rinse with clean water, and apply primer immediately after drying.

    Armstrong Chemicals supplies ALSTRONG RR-170 to sites across Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, including Hyderabad, Vijayawada, Bengaluru, Kochi and Chennai.

    Why ALSTRONG RR-170 works

    • Phosphoric acid blend

      The base is a phosphoric acid blend that reacts with the rust, so a wire brush and a rinse can clear it.

    • Short action time

      Reaction takes 15–30 minutes, so you can move on to scrubbing and rinsing without a long wait.

    • Brush or immersion

      Brush it onto fixed steelwork or immerse items such as bolts and fasteners, whichever suits the job.

    ALSTRONG AC

    ALSTRONG AC is a polyurethane-blended, long-lasting corrosion preventive coating for the protection of exposed steel reinforcement and iron. Self-priming and tolerant of lower grades of steel preparation — it penetrates into existing rust to combine it with the coating all the way down to the original metal surface. Provides excellent resistance to corrosion, chemicals and weathering in industrial, coastal and chemical environments. Also used as an anti-carbonisation coat on exterior and internal concrete structures to prevent CO₂-induced reinforcement corrosion. Fully compatible with the ROOFBOND and ROOFCRETE concrete repair systems.

    ALSTRONG RC

    ALSTRONG RC is a high-performance, self-priming rust converter and rust encapsulating coating for the protection of steel and iron against aggressive corrosion, industrial pollution, coastal environments, chemical attacks and weathering. When applied to a rusty steel surface, it chemically stabilises and converts adhering rust into an organo-complex compound within 30 minutes — forming a tough, porous, moisture-repelling coating with good mechanical stability, abrasion resistance, bond strength and excellent anti-corrosive properties. Salt spray resistance of 340 hours at 25 microns (ASTM B 117). Can be immediately overcoated with concrete, mortar, rubber, acrylic, PU, epoxy or water dispersion coatings.
