Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2090676A1] Use of an aqueous cleaning solution containing a reducing agent and at least one complexing agent to remove rouging on the medium contacted surface of rustless steel, preferably chromium/nickel or chromium/nickel/molybdenum steel in neutral pH range, is claimed. Independent claims are included for: (1) the aqueous cleaning solution containing a reducing agent and at least one, preferably two complexing agents; and (2) a process for the complete removal of rouging resting on the surface of rustless metal material, which is medium contacted surface of rustless steel, preferably chromium/nickel or chromium/nickel/molybdenum steel in neutral pH range, and subsequently repassiving the surface comprising treating the surface with the cleaning solution and completely removing the sediments and subsequently spraying with an aqueous solution containing oxidizing agent and/or with oxygen containing pure water, so that a rustless steel protective passive layer is formed.
