Before the rust treatment - want to know how rust is formed?
Rust is one of the most common forms of corrosion, or in other words metal that is affected by a reaction with its environment. Rust affects metal, because it reacts with a combination of water and oxygen. A rust treatment can prevent this reaction by protecting metal with a layer of paint, as you do with cars. However, if the paint is damaged, the metal becomes vulnerable to rust. Rust in clothing is caused by it coming into contact with rusted parts, but also by an old washing machine or a rusty iron.
2 tips for rust prevention
HG has various rust converter solutions for rust treatment, including HG rust remover. But rather than knowing how to remove rust, you would like to prevent the rust in the first place. We share 2 tips for preventing rust formation as much as possible.
1. Dehumidifier
Rust is caused by humidity, so it is important to ensure the lowest possible humidity. It ensures that metal objects will not rust, or at least less quickly. In industry they use large dehumidifiers to protect ferrous materials and products against rust. Dry off metal parts that have become damp immediately
2. Inspect the car
For rust prevention on your car, it is important to inspect your car regularly. Places that become damp quickly, such as wheel housing and bumpers, are prone to rusting. Check places where two pieces of metal come together, because that causes friction and wear that may damage the paint, producing a greater chance of rust. The underside of your car is another important area to check. The underside suffers most and comes into contact with dirt and damp more than any other part. Remove any rust you find immediately to stop it from spreading. Treat the affected areas with a rust treatment product that protects against rust, such as metal paint.

3 rust converter products
Besides the effective HG solutions, there are some other household tips that can be tried as anti rust treatment.
1. Cola
One of the products you can use as a rust converter for minor rusting is cola. Throw some cola on clothing with rust patches, leave it to absorb and put it in the washing machine. You can also put a rusty key in the cola until the rust has gone.
2. Cement
For rust on walls, you can try to make a small amount of cement mixture that you spread on the patch. Brush the cement away as soon as it has dried.
3. Water and oxalic acid
According to some websites, you can use a light solution of water and oxalic acid to de rust natural-stone floors. Apply with a brush, leave to work and then rinse it off. Our advice is that you should always try this in an inconspicuous place first!
