Product Information
HMK® R777 Rust Remover is a ready-to-use acid-based treatment formulated to remove rust spots and stains from dense, acid-tolerant natural stone. Designed for granite, quartzite, and similar hard stone, it provides specialized cleaning power when rust discoloration affects the appearance of the surface.
This rust stain remover chemically targets rust contamination rather than routine dirt or general surface buildup. Suitable for interior and exterior stone, HMK R777 helps restore a cleaner and more consistent appearance across compatible hard stone installations.
In addition to removing existing rust stains, HMK R777 contains special additives that help reduce the development of new rust after treatment. This combined cleaning and inhibiting action provides added value for hard stone surfaces affected by recurring rust discoloration.
Common Questions
HMK® R777 is intended only for acid-tolerant dense natural stone, including granite, quartzite, and similar hard stone surfaces. It is suitable for compatible interior and exterior installations, but the material should always be tested in an inconspicuous area to confirm acid tolerance, appearance, and performance.
HMK R777 specifically removes visible rust spots and broader rust staining from compatible dense stone surfaces. Its specialized acid-based formula is intended for rust contamination rather than routine dirt, grease, or general maintenance cleaning.
Yes. HMK R777 contains special additives that help reduce the development of rust after treatment. This rust-inhibiting feature complements the removal of existing stains, giving professionals a treatment that addresses visible contamination while also helping limit new rust from developing.
No. R777 can damage acid-sensitive and soft stones such as polished or honed marble, limestone, and agglomerates, including their finished surfaces. It should also be kept away from concrete products, plastics, and certain metals. HMK R179 is intended for rust removal on compatible soft stone.
Do not wet the stone before treatment. Apply R777 undiluted across the entire surface, keep it from drying, cover the treated area with plastic, and allow approximately 12 hours of contact time. Remove the product, clean with diluted HMK R155 Intensive Cleaner, and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Allowing HMK R777 to dry on the stone can temporarily darken the treated surface, although HMK notes that the effect may reverse over time. Keeping the area wet throughout the treatment period and following the prescribed cleanup process helps reduce the risk of this unwanted appearance change.
One liter of HMK R777 covers approximately 60 to 80 square feet, while five liters covers approximately 300 to 400 square feet. Actual coverage depends on the stone, severity of rust staining, application method, and whether heavy contamination requires an additional coat or repeated treatment.
Yes. HMK R777 is designated for professional use only and contains corrosive phosphoric acid. Apply it between 50°F and 80°F, away from direct sunlight, while wearing suitable protective clothing and protecting adjacent surfaces. Turn off underfloor heating and allow the stone to cool before treatment.
