Crc Industries 1753020 Rust-block Water Based Rust Inhibitor

Product Description

The CRC INDUSTRIES 1753020 is a water-based rust inhibitor formulated to prevent flash rusting on ferrous metals. Sold under the Rust-Block name, this product delivers corrosion protection without hydrocarbon-based carriers, making it safer to handle and more environmentally compatible than solvent-based alternatives. It is oil-free and non-corrosive, so it will not attack soft metals, rubber, or plastic surfaces it contacts during application. At 12 weight ounces per unit, it is sized for field and shop use by HVAC technicians, plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance professionals working with iron and steel components.

Rust-Block is suited for use on ferrous metal surfaces that are vulnerable to flash rusting after cleaning, rinsing, or exposure to moisture. Typical applications include bare steel pipe, fittings, brackets, tool surfaces, and metal parts staging between fabrication and final assembly. The water-based formula rinses cleanly and does not leave an oily residue that could interfere with coatings, adhesives, or downstream processes. It is appropriate for both shop and field conditions where a quick-apply corrosion barrier is needed without introducing hydrocarbon contamination.

Key Features

• Water-based formula is oil-free and non-corrosive
• Provides flash rust prevention on ferrous metals
• Safe on soft metals, rubber, and plastic contact surfaces
• More environmentally compatible than hydrocarbon-based corrosion inhibitors
• 12 weight ounce package sized for shop and field use

Compatibility

Designed for use on ferrous metals including iron and steel surfaces requiring temporary or ongoing corrosion inhibition between processing, storage, or installation stages.

Installation Notes

Applied by maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and HVAC or plumbing professionals as a surface treatment rather than a structural installation. Clean and dry the target surface before application to ensure proper adhesion of the inhibitor film. Consult applicable safety data sheets and local environmental regulations for disposal of rinse water or overspray in a shop environment.
