Bilt Hamber Deox-Gel is a viscous, highly thixotropic rust remover, designed for corrosion removal on surfaces or objects too large to submerge in a bath of our Bilt Hamber Deox-C.
Along with the viscosity builders and preservatives, the active agents in Deox gel are harmless, non-toxic and biodegradable.
Grinding, Sanding, Blasting vs. Deox-Gel
- Abrasive cleaning methods such as grinding, sanding or blast-cleaning will remove sound steel surrounding corroded areas. The risk of grit inclusion resultant from blast-cleaning has been proven to cause early coating failure, corrosion and mechanical wear.
- Slag-based blast cleaning media all contain heavy metals which, when used in open-nozzle blast-cleaning equipment, liberate dust that may contain harmful levels of these elements.
The use of Deox Gel will eliminate the risk of distortion to thin steel sections, which can result from the blast-cleaning process.
