Deck Wash Acid - Acid and Concrete Removal - Sierra - Image 1
Description

Deck Wash Acid is Sierra's oxalic acid and detergent cleaner for boats, lifting grime, light rust and rust stains off fibreglass and decks, in 5L and 20L.

What it does

Deck Wash pairs detergents with an acid. The detergents loosen the soiling and contaminants that collect on marine craft, while the acid deals with light surface rust and the orange marks it leaves. The SDS names the acid as oxalic acid, under 20 per cent, in a clear liquid of roughly pH 2.

Where to use it

Marine craft of all kinds. Sierra's catalogue names fibreglass, decking and vinyl sails, and the SDS adds rust stains on painted and timber surfaces. It sits in our acid and concrete removal range. For routine washing, Ultra Gloss is a pH neutral boat wash.

How to use

  1. Put on goggles, gloves and boots before opening the container.
  2. Try a small hidden patch first.
  3. Apply to the stained area. Sierra publishes no dilution or dwell time, so ask us for the maker's guidance first.
  4. Rinse the treated area well with plenty of water.

Safe on / avoid

Sierra's catalogue rates it for fibreglass, decking and vinyl sails. The SDS lists alkalis, alkali metals and oxidising agents as incompatible, so never mix it with alkaline cleaners or bleach. It is non combustible but is a Class 8 corrosive for transport, and the SDS describes oxalic acid as highly corrosive to eyes. Keep it out of drains and waterways. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.

Questions
▸Will Deck Wash Acid remove rust stains from a fibreglass boat?

Yes. The acid is there for rust marks and light surface rust, and Sierra lists fibreglass among its suitable surfaces.

▸Can Deck Wash go on vinyl sails?

Sierra's catalogue names vinyl sails as a surface it suits. Test a corner first and rinse well.

▸What acid is in Deck Wash?

Oxalic acid, at under 20 per cent according to the SDS, blended with detergents.

▸Does Deck Wash Acid treat heavy rust on steel?

No. Sierra makes it for light surface rust and rust staining, not for heavy corrosion.

▸How should I store it?

Under lock, in a corrosion resistant pack with a resistant liner, away from alkalis and oxidisers, as the SDS directs.
