Description Advanced Soluble Salt Remover for Surface Preparation & Coating Performance Chlor*Rid DTS (Direct to Surface) is an advanced soluble salt remover engineered to eliminate chlorides, sulfates, nitrates, and other non-visible contaminants from industrial surfaces prior to coating application. Using a patented organic bonding chemistry, Chlor*Rid DTS removes electrochemically bonded soluble salts that traditional surface preparation methods often leave behind – helping prevent premature coating failure and flash rust. Unlike harsh chemical cleaners or complicated multi-step systems, Chlor*Rid DTS (Direct to Surface) is easy to apply, biodegradable, VOC-free, and requires no field mixing or specialized equipment. The solution penetrates and ionizes salt contamination, allowing it to be effectively rinsed away before coatings are applied Designed for professional surface preparation, Chlor*Rid DTS can be applied by brush, roller, airless sprayer, pump sprayer, or conventional spray equipment and rinsed clean with potable water Product Benefits Removes Chlorides, Sulfates & Nitrates – Eliminates harmful soluble salt contamination Prevents Premature Coating Failure – Improves coating adhesion and long-term performance No Field Mixing or Dilution Required – Ready-to-use direct-to-surface formula VOC-Free & Biodegradable – Environmentally friendly surface preparation solution No Residue Left Behind – Clean surface ready for primer or coating application No Special Equipment Needed – Apply with standard spray, brush, or roller equipment Reduces Flash Rust Potential – Can be added to rinse water when needed Safe & Easy to Use – No harsh chemicals, certifications, or hazardous handling requirements How Chlor*Rid DTS Works The electrochemical bond between soluble salts and metal substrates makes contamination difficult to remove with conventional cleaning methods alone. Chlor*Rid DTS (Direct to Surface) uses patented ionization chemistry to break the bond between salts and the substrate surface, allowing contaminants to be rinsed away effectively This process helps ensure that coatings are applied over a properly prepared surface, reducing the risk of osmotic blistering, underfilm corrosion, and early coating breakdown. Typical Applications Chlor*Rid DTS is ideal for: Pipeline surface preparation Industrial steel structures Marine and offshore assets Storage tanks Process piping Bridges and infrastructure Refinery and petrochemical facilities Maintenance painting projects Surface preparation before abrasive blasting or coating application Suitable for use on: Ferrous metals Non-ferrous metals Wood Plastics Additional industrial substrates
