Zerust/Excor AxxaClean 2048 cleans ferrous metals, brass, copper and various alloys of rust and tarnish. AxxaClean 2048 has a pH of about 2.5, similar to a soda drink, making it simple to use and minimizing disposal hassles. AxxaClean 2048 comes in multiple delivery forms; Immersion, Spray-On, and Brush-On. Cleaned and dried items can be immediately painted or welded. For optimum results with AxxaClean 2048, rinse cleaned items with a solution of AxxaVis™ PX-05AN acid neutralizer and dry thoroughly with filtered compressed air.

Surfaces treated with the rust remover are protected from flash-rust for several days in a controlled environment. To prevent the metal from corroding again protect it with Zerust VCI packaging films and papers. For corrosion prone metals such as cast iron, use a Zerust rust preventative such as Z-Maxx™, Axxanol™ or Axxatec™ liquid coating.
