Salt-Away is used to dissolve and remove salt from
any surface. It is water based, non-hazardous and biodegradable. It
protects metals from corrosion by removing the salt that promotes
corrosion. It also contains rust inhibitors that help protect the
surface once the salt has been removed.
Salt will cause metals to corrode. It takes very
little salt on a surface to increase your chances of corrosion. Removing
salt from the surface reduces your chance of corrosion.
Salt-Away will actually help remove all of the
salt deposits from the surface. Plain water will not remove all the
salt. Salt-Away is water based, and when mixed with water, removes salt
more completely.
Salt-Away is designed to remove salt from just
about any surface. It can be safely used on metal, paint, fiberglass,
glass, rubber, plastic, chrome and many other surfaces. It doesn't
contain solvents so it won't remove wax or other surface protection.

- HOW SALT-AWAY WORKS
There are 3 basic methods for moving salt from surfaces with Salt-Away < Immersion <
Pressure and velocity from spray bottles, compression pump sprayers,
garden or other hoses, pressure washers. It is important to select the
appropriate dispensing equipment for the size of the area of the
contaminated surface. Diluting Salt-Away is necessary either by pre-mixing or by delivering it from a device that is set to the correct dilution ratio while attached to a water hose. < Wet vacuuming About Salt-Away: Salt-Away
is water-based, highly concentrated and must be diluted. The Salt-Away
solution immediately dissolves any soluble contaminant. Flow (run-off)
caused by gravity is required to remove salt. As flow begins,
ingredients in the product will not allow the contaminants in their
dissolved state to attach to the surface, and a "sheeting" effect is
created allowing the flow to carry the contaminants all the way off the
equipment. In areas that stay wetter longer and are primarily
inaccessible or where salt is trapped, the corrosion inhibitors in the
product will keep equipment from rusting and corroding from the
inside-out. Immersion: Immersing items
in a bath of a Salt-Away solution is accomplished by dipping the item
into the solution until completely covered by the liquid and removing it
and allowing gravity to cause the liquid to run off the surfaces.
Unless there is salt accumulation on the surface, there is no need to
soak the item in the solution. The length of time to allow the item to
soak in the Salt-Away solution to break apart salt accumulation depends
on the amount of accumulation. Using the solution more than once is not
recommended. The recommended dilution ratios for an immersion solution
with fresh water can range from 1.5% to 5.0% by volume. A richer
solution greater than 10.0% by volume is not recommended. Rinsing the
item with fresh water after the immersion process is required. Application by pressure methods:
There are 2 conditions necessary for Salt-Away to remove salt: 1) the
pressure and velocity of the water source must be consistent and great
enough for gravity to cause flow, and 2) complete and thorough flowing
of the solution to the exit areas of the surface must occur. Except for
salt accumulation areas, results are immediate. If conditions 1 and 2 do
not exist, the Salt-Aw ay solution will dissolve the salt, but the salt
will remain on the surface. Vertical Surface:
Upon application to the surface to be treated, the Salt-Away solution
immediately dissolves any soluble contaminant. If the pressure is not
strong enough to cause complete flow from the surface, the solution will
dissolve the soluble contaminants, the flowing will begin, then slow to
a drizzle, and eventually stop before reaching the removal area. If
this situation occurs, the salt is not removed. Horizontal Surface:
The method for removal is more difficult, but can be accomplished by
"pushing" the dissolved contaminants with pressurized spray or stream
velocity of the Salt-Away solution until they are pushed off the
surface. Horizontal Surface, No Outlet:
Example: salt-contaminated floors where there is no drain. Pressure is
not necessary to apply the Salt-Away solution, and the recommended
solution is 5.0% Salt-Away by volume. The best equipment to use to apply
the solution is a compression pump sprayer. The area must be covered
with enough solution to cause standing liquid. If the surface is porous,
continue to add solution until it is saturated and a standing liquid
condition exists. Allow the solution to stand at least 10 minutes, but
do not allow it to evaporate. Salt removal must be accomplished by
vacuuming all the standing liquid. The most commonly used vacuum device
is known as a "wet-vacuum machine". Since it is not physically possible
to vacuum 100% of the moisture from the surface, any dissolved salt
residing in the remaining moisture will not be removed. This process
may need to be repeated several times depending on porousness and
condition of the surface. Several applications of Salt-Away solution can
dilute the concentration of the salt left in the surface moisture, and
additional salt deposits can be removed. Facts about salt: Salt
crystals are a mineral of the earth and cannot be destroyed. There is
no other element of the earth or a product that can cause salt crystals
(and other soluble minerals) to disappear or vanish from a surface by
dissolving them. But they can be moved from place to place. In the
effort to completely move salt from a surface by dissolving it in a
Salt-Away solution, the salt must be moved while in solution either by
pushing with pressure methods, by vacuuming or by gravity to exit the
areas of the surface. After it is moved to another location, it will
stay there until moved again by another force; air, water, humans,
animals, nature.
