Industrial rust inhibitor & remover

Stop paying for rust.

Rust never shows on your invoice as rust. It hides in reject rates, rework hours, warranty claims, and parts that corrode in storage or transit before they're used. Corrosion Assassin removes it and stops it coming back.

The hidden cost

You're paying for rust
every day.

01

Reject rates

Surface oxidation pulls finished parts off the line. Each one is labour you've already spent.

02

Rework hours

Grinding, sanding, blasting, re-machining. Time you don't bill the customer for.

03

Warranty & replacement

Parts that corrode in transit or storage land on the warranty reserve, not the production line.

04

Reputation

A rusted shipment arrives once and the customer tells everyone. You pay for that for years.

What it does

One product. Two jobs.

A water-based liquid that both strips existing rust and stops new rust forming. No two products, no two suppliers, no two trips through the workshop.

Job 01 · Removes

Removes rust.

Apply, leave it to work, wipe clean. No grinding, no sanding, no acid bath.

  • Works on surface rust, scale and oxidation on steel.
  • Won't attack rubber, seals or cured paint.
  • Refurbishment-friendly: returns from the field to the workbench, treated, back in service.
Proof. 100% mill scale removal on steel flanges, documented at the customer site.
Job 02 · Prevents

Prevents rust.

Leaves an iron-phosphate layer that holds for months through storage, transit and sea freight. Paint-ready, no extra prep.

  • One-step process — no separate degrease before paint or coating.
  • Holds on freshly machined steel awaiting sale or export.
  • Documented through a full container shipment from Johannesburg to the USA.
Proof. Coated December 2024 in Johannesburg, opened in Miami June 2025. Zero corrosion on the treated shafts.

Coated in Johannesburg. Opened in Miami.

RNE Pumps machines pump shafts in South Africa for export. Freshly machined steel plus months in transit and storage equals surface rust on arrival — until they tried Corrosion Assassin on a full container.

Zero corrosion on the treated shafts.

"Corrosion Assassin removed rust almost instantly, saving us hours of work." Zack Herridge · RNE Pumps

Coated December 2024 in Johannesburg. Eight to ten weeks in container freight. Landed at Fort Myers harbour, on to the customer in Miami. Opened June 2025 — six months from coating to opening, zero corrosion on the treated shafts while other items in the same container arrived rusted.

Where it works

Honest about the metals.

Corrosion Assassin is optimised for steel and stainless. We tell you up front what you should test first, and what to avoid — before you find out the hard way.

Optimised for

  • Mild & carbon steel
  • Tool steel
  • Cast iron
  • Stainless steel

Where we have the most documented field results and the longest protection windows.

Test first

  • Aluminium
  • Brass & copper
  • Galvanised surfaces

Results vary by alloy and surface condition — always run a small patch test before a full part.

Avoid

  • Chrome plating
  • Anodised aluminium
  • Polished decorative finishes

Will damage these surfaces. Not the right product — use a dedicated metal-finish cleaner instead.

Where it's used

Workshops, factories, ports.

The pitch reads the same across sectors: stop paying for rust between machining and the customer's hands. The application changes; the chemistry doesn't.
