Bilt Hamber Deox-Gel

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 Deox-C. Along with the viscosity builders and preservatives, the active agents in Deox-Gel are harmless, non-toxic and biodegradable.

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 give off 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Should I remove corrosion by mechanical means before treatment with Deox-Gel?
It is best to remove as much rust as you are able mechanically before using Deox-Gel, if possible.
2. Will Deox-Gel cling to vertical surfaces?
Yes, Deox-Gel will work on vertical surfaces.
3. Can I spray Deox-Gel and can it be thinned?
While it is possible to spray Deox-Gel but it is not recommended, as the product must be applied thickly to the surface for it to work. Deox-Gel should not be thinned as it will compromise the function of the product.
4. Will using Deox-Gel on stone chips harm my paintwork?
Deox-Gel will not harm sound automotive paintwork.
5. Can I use Deox-Gel to remove rust on a galvanized surface?
Yes but spot-treat the rusted area only, as the Deox-Gel will remove the galvanization.
