Product Characteristics
The Perfect Metal Surface Preparation


Picklex®20 by International Chemical Products, Inc. is a multi-faceted product. It acts as a metal surface cleaner, rust remover, 100% rust converter, rust inhibitor, and protective coating (conversion coating). It removes mill oil, dust, surface rust, and white rust, while providing a conversion coating in 1 treatment. It's the ultimate solution to your metal surface preparation and pre-treatment needs.

Efficient Metal Treatment Product
Picklex®20 saves a lot of time, labor, and costs, and prepares the metal surface for painting and welding, providing a long-term rust protection. It is applied by spraying, brushing, wiping, rolling etc.. It can be used on new, bare metal, or rusted metal under any level of humidity. The product does not cover up rust; it chemically changes 100% rust (including mill scale and micro-rust) into a high-performance, corrosion-resistant, conductive, metallurgically-protective coating. It completely removes the dust, mill oil, cutting fluid and the surface rust, preparing the surface rust/contamination free and stops further oxidation. Primer is not needed but can be used for added corrosion resistance and longer paint life.

A New Idea in Metal Protection
Picklex®20 coating is an entirely different technology and concept. It works in a very different manner than other products, and has a totally different look. Its performance is more outstanding than any other product on the market. It does not cover up rust. Different types of color changes can be noticed on the metal surface after application of Picklex®20. These changes vary according to the amount of rust converted (ranges from a clear coating for brand new/bare metal, light gray for micro-rust and light surface rust, to a dark gray or light black for heavy deep rust or on mill scale). This color change will not have any effect on the paint color. It provides a conversion coating for a very long term indoor storage (in terms of years).


Picklex®20 Simultaneously Combines the Following
Processes when Applied to a Metal Surface:

  • Cleans the Surface by Removing Light Oil and Dust
  • Removes Light Surface Rust
  • 100% Rust Conversion (Including Mill Scale and Micro-Rust)
  • Acts As a Rust Inhibitor and Stops Creeping or Spreading Rust
  • Protective Primer for Top Coating Purposes
  • Metal Surface Conditioner
  • Increases Weld Strength Considerably, when Welding is Performed on the Coated Surface
  • Picklex®20 Enhances Paint Finishing and Increases Paint Life Considerably
