I am looking for help on developing a safe neutral derusting. I currently working with Na Gluconate and Na hexametaphoshate, it appears do be working but very slow any suggestions on speading the process up.
Thanks,

Safe and neutral derusting agent is thioglycolic acid.You can use 3-30% solution, pH must be corrected with ammonia (25%) [on eBay or Amazon].
Good luck!
