Rusting
is a naturally occurring phenomenon that is typically defined as the
deterioration of a metal caused due to its reaction with the environment. Iron
rusts when it comes in contact with oxygen in presence of moisture to form a
compound called iron oxide or ferrous oxide. Rusting and corrosion (oxidation
of non-ferrous metals) can cause severe damage to major products from
automobiles, household appliances and drinking water systems to pipelines,
bridges and metal framed buildings.
Over
past two decades, the United States has suffered more than 40 major weather
related disasters including hurricanes, tornadoes, tropical storms, floods,
fires, droughts, and freezes; this caused a total loss of more than $380
billion. As per the recent U.S. corrosion study, the direct cost of metal
corrosion is $276 billion on an annual basis. This represents 3.1% of the U.S.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Unlike weather-related disasters, however,
rusting and corrosion can be controlled and prevented.
To
stop rust it is crucial to choose truly effective rust inhibiting solutions. A
good rust remover not only eliminates rust but also prevents the metal from its
impact for years. Brush on rust removers can also be used for floor and
concrete coating.
Use of appropriate rust prevention products can
indeed prevent considerable damage to property and the environment.
