<h5 class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" data-section-id="jrdiwt" data-start="166" data-end="190">Customer Challenge</h5> <p data-start="211" data-end="535">A rental equipment company in Japan struggled with rust accumulation on its chain blocks. Initially, they considered using rust removers from other suppliers. However, most available products were acidic, raising concerns about potential damage to the equipment&rsquo;s materials. Due to this risk, those options were not adopted.</p> <h5 data-section-id="7xls9h" data-start="542" data-end="568">Recommended Solution</h5> <p data-start="588" data-end="792">NCH Asia Pacific proposed the application of <strong data-start="633" data-end="645">X-Rust 7</strong>, an immersion-type rust remover that works within a neutral pH range. Its unique properties offered the ideal solution to the customer&rsquo;s concerns.</p> <h5 data-section-id="1296j4j" data-start="799" data-end="821">Results Achieved</h5> <ul data-start="841" data-end="1236"> <li data-section-id="1m61lzk" data-start="841" data-end="1096"><strong data-start="843" data-end="863">Material Safety:</strong> X-Rust 7, when diluted, forms a neutral aqueous solution that effectively removes rust without damaging the base material. This ensured the chain blocks passed in-house quality inspections and could be safely returned to rental use.</li> <li data-section-id="1orwlhx" data-start="1097" data-end="1236"><strong data-start="1099" data-end="1114">Efficiency:</strong> The immersion-based rust removal process required minimal labor, enabling fast and efficient treatment of multiple parts.</li> </ul> <p data-start="1238" data-end="1454">The customer successfully implemented a safe and efficient method for rust removal with X-Rust 7. As a result, they streamlined their maintenance process while ensuring the integrity and usability of their equipment.</p> <p data-start="1238" data-end="1454"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-20987" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://www.nchasia.com/wp-content/resources/2025/05/Screenshot-2025-06-24-at-4.11.50 PM-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></p>
