Exrust penetrates and chemically reacts with rust to remove it quickly from metal surfaces. Effective on all metals and leaves a clean, paint-ready surface.
Use by soaking parts or applying directly — rust disappears fast and your finish can be applied immediately after treatment.
Powerful: Penetrates and chemically reacts with rust for rapid removal.
Versatile: Effective on all metals; ideal for aviation, MRO, and industrial maintenance.
Flexible application: Immersion, brush-on, or wipe-on methods work equally well.
Finish-ready: Leaves a clean surface so primers, paints, or coatings adhere properly.
Exrust is Kano’s industrial strength rust remover engineered for fast results on corroded fasteners, tools, fixtures, and precision components. In aircraft and hangar environments, it helps restore hardware, ground support equipment, and shop tooling without harsh grinding. The formula penetrates tight tolerances to dissolve oxidation and scale, returning bare metal and preparing it for primer, paint, plating, or protective oils. Apply by soaking small parts, or brush/wipe onto larger surfaces; rinse or wipe away residue and proceed with finishing. Choose from 16oz, 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, or 15 Gallon sizes to match line-maintenance or shop demand.
As a private pilot, comms are always on my mind. I have a Marine Corps HUMVEE that requires hearing protection. This solves that challenge and allows conversation while on the move
Must have for anyone working in the aircraft engine business.
Over abundance of information provided in this book that is explained in easily understood terms with easily comprehended imaging. Well worth the money.
I absolutely love this product. I have used it for years, but I have to say the shipping took over 30 days. Not sure why but it did so I’m not that satisfied with that part but I love the product.
