Is Evapo Rust safe for cleaning keris?

Evapo Rust sounds interesting because it's water based, it's supposed to be safe even for paint and rubber. I was told by the Indonesian importer that you can dump the whole engine piston with paint, rubber, and all into the solution, and all Evapo Rust does is remove Fe2O3 (rust) because it reacts with nothing else.

Wouldn't this be a good and thorough way to clean up the smallest rust particles? Any opinion why it might be not good for kerises?
