Iron cut

Jon, I may have been confused, seems there are a lot of little companies putting out ferrous oxide removers, and not sure who is what.

Where can I see an MSDS for this one?

Grumpy
 
Everyone, hold tight, I apparently got confused about which product this is.

Have been to their website, however, have not been able to get the MSDS for it to open so I can take a look at the actives.

According to various chemical dictionaries, etc the main ingrediant is actually acetic acid, which is buffered by the alkyl ethoxy sulphate to create a low pH reading.

As it decomposes, it produces hydrogen sulfide, and two variations of mercaptan, plus sulphur oxides.

Does that make Iron-X safe to use?
