It wouldn't be Coca-Cola without that dental solvent - phosphoric acid..

It is a very effective rust-preventative, because ferrous phosphate is
highly insoluble and forms a surface film on iron that has few pinholes.

What's in Rust-oleum's Rust-Reformer? It works very well indeed.

I don't know: I don't think it's available in Britain now, although it
might have been in the past. The web site suggest USA only.

It is quite possibly a phosphoric acid product. Does it turn the rust
black?

It does, their instructions say to ONLY apply to already-formed rust
(scraped or brushed). It creates an impenetrable layer that resists
further corrosion for years, in my experience. The technical data
sheet mentions barium sulphate, silicas, and a vinyl coploymer.


None of those is reactive with rust. My bet is still on phosphoric acid.

Barium sulphate sounds like the stuff they make you drink before a CT scan,
and the other two sound like fingernail polish ;-)
