FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I own a dustless: blaster and when I blast metal it usually ends up flash rusting -- will the ClearBlast Rust Inhibitor help prevent this?
Yes — simply add the Clearblast Rust Inhibitor to your mix before blasting. This will prevent flash rusting for up to 72 hours, sometimes longer.
Is the ClearBlast Rust Inhibitor meant to be added to a blast media or is it meant to use on its own when trying to prevent flash rusting?
BOTH — the ClearBlast Rust Inhibitor can be used as an additive with slurry blasters and poured into the blast pot at the same time you are adding water and media. It can also be used upon completion of blasting. A post-blasting rinse cycle is a quick and easy way to prevent flash rust.
Why should I use the ClearBlast Rust Inhibitor after soda blasting? Can’t I just use water?
Although water can be used for rinsing purposes after soda blasting, the ClearBlast Rust Inhibitor helps ensure all residue is removed from all surfaces, including hard to reach areas. the ClearBlast Rust Inhibitor is a wonderful salt and chloride remover, so using it can help speed up any rinsing process and also prevents flash rusting of steel and iron.
