A leading manufacturer of service parts found over half of inventoried steel parts rusting due to improper packaging and a leaky roof. Since inventory was tight, the company comtemplated shipping these less than perfect parts out to private and municipal customers and, in so doing, run the risk of disappointing its customers. A Zerust representative learned of the rust problem and provided a sample of Zerust ICT620-RR Rust Remover.

The Solution

The manufacturer tested Zerust ICT620-RR on some of the rusty parts and was very pleased with the results. It not only removed the rust, but was also very easy to use. ICT620-RR works by lossening the iron-oxide from the metal surface and does not affect other metals, paint or plastic. Staff was able to simply soak rusty parts in the rust remover and rinse with de-ionized water. The manufacturer immediately used ICT620-RR to remove the rust on all of the service parts. Zerust ICT620-RR helped recover the rusty service parts, saving the manufacturer money and ensuring that customers were satisfied.
