Evaporust

Does anyone have any experience of Evaporust?

steve-45 · 17th October 2020, 17:13

Never heard of it, is it a new product ?

bl52krz · 17th October 2020, 19:22

As above. Unknown quantity. If you do use it let us know how it goes and if you think it is any use.

Do you think it's safe to make the rust evaporate as it might leave a great big hole.---

If it works, it looks very safe.

Mike Trident · 17th October 2020, 20:26

Just realised we have a dealer on here who uses it.

(Hi chap we use evapo rust which is safe to our health and safe to the vehicle.

It's been around for at least a decade (Google for reviews), yet most of us have never heard of it. Maybe because it's from the USA, or maybe the price is a bit rich for us. It works by sequestration, so rather than converting the rust layer into a different inert form of iron, the iron atoms in the rust are selectively 'absorbed' into a water soluble 'macromolecule'. It's very similar to the sequestered iron plant feeds you use on rhododendrons, heathers, magnolias, etc. These plants can't absorb iron from typical soils. I suspect that disposing of spent Evaporust on your limey garden soil would do wonders for certain plants. Anyway, it's a pretty natty and simple approach to derusting. At £35 a gallon I won't be trying it myself.

Having looked around , there do seem to be a number of good reviews and demonstrations . Those I have seen do , however , involve submersing objects in the liquid - presumably you can also brush / spray it on and later rinse off eg underbody ? Not sure either what you would use as a compatible preventative afterwards eg apply a rust converter to cope with any residual and then a protector followed by a paint/wax ? I read about a compatible protector that last a year but that's not good enough - need far longer.
Would be interested if anyone can add responses based on direct experience. Evaporust seems ok itself though.
