CHLOR*RID ANNOUNCES SOLUBLE SALT REMOVER IS 100% “GREEN”
ALL ORGANIC, NON-HAZARDOUS & BIODEGRADABLE
Removes Dangerous & Costly Salt Corrosion in America’s Bridges, Aircraft, Tanks, Dams, Ships & State Highway DOTs
CHLOR*RID® is True Salt Remover – Not Just Corrosion Inhibitor like Other Companies
October 27, 2009, Chandler, AZ -- CHLOR*RID International, Inc. www.chlor-rid.com, the world’s leading source of products for soluble salt testing and soluble salt removal, announced today that its CHLOR*RID salt remover is 100% “Green,” organic, non-hazardous, and biodegradable. CHLOR*
U.S. Spends $300 Billion Dollars a Year on Dangerous Corrosion
In the last few years, the coating industry and corrosion engineers have become aware of the damage and cost of salt corrosion, resulting in 300 billion dollars spent each year in the U.S.– wasted money easily avoided by using CHLOR*RID to remove soluble salts on surfaces prior to applying protective coatings. Soluble salts (like chlorides, sulfates and nitrates) are found on surfaces everywhere - in marine environments or as residue left by chemical compounds, such as de-icing salts or industrial emissions. Soluble salts pull moisture from the air, causing protective coatings to fail. Salts can also cause degradation of the structure, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, concrete, foam, plastics and others. Left unchecked, the salt contamination corrodes into deep pockets in the substrate, making decontamination more urgent and challenging.
100% Biodegradable -- Easiest, Safest & Most Economical Way to Remove Salts
CHLOR*RID is the safest and most economical method available on the market for removing dangerous soluble salts. Extremely easy to use, just add water to CHLOR*RID and apply to the contaminated surface prior to applying coatings. The organic chemicals in the patented CHLOR*EXTRACT solution bond with chloride and sulfate ions to quickly remove them from surfaces, so a protective coating can then be applied free of rust and contamination. 100% biodegradeable, CHLOR*RID is also nonflammable and contains no volatile organic compounds (VOC).
CHLOR*RID is True Salt Remover – Not Just Corrosion Inhibitor Like Other Companies
Unlike other companies, CHLOR*RID is a true salt remover and not a corrosion inhibitor. True salt removers use an acidic product to remove salts from a steel surface. Other companies claiming to be salt removers are only corrosion inhibitors that use alkaline products, which cause a hydroxide residue layer that masks salts so they do not show up in normal testing, and are never actually removed.
