Case Study | Maintenance | Efficient Rust Removal from Chain Blocks at a Rental Equipment Company

The Challenge

A rental equipment company in Japan struggled with rust accumulation on its chain blocks. Initially, they considered using rust removers from other suppliers. However, most available products were acidic, raising concerns about potential damage to the equipment’s materials. Due to this risk, those options were not adopted.

The Solution

NCH Asia Pacific proposed the application of X-Rust 7, an immersion-type rust remover that works within a neutral pH range. Its unique properties offered the ideal solution to the customer’s concerns.

Key Benefits

  • Material Safety: X-Rust 7, when diluted, forms a neutral aqueous solution that effectively removes rust without damaging the base material. This ensured the chain blocks passed in-house quality inspections and could be safely returned to rental use.
  • Efficiency: The immersion-based rust removal process required minimal labor, enabling fast and efficient treatment of multiple parts.

The customer successfully implemented a safe and efficient method for rust removal with  X-Rust 7. As a result, they streamlined their maintenance process while ensuring the integrity and usability of their equipment.
