Rust Preventatives
LUBIMAX® offers a wide range of Rust Preventatives that effectively protect metal parts from rust and corrosion during storage and shipment. These additives can be used to produce high-performance oil-based, solvent-based, or waterbased rust preventive fluids meeting the requirements of different applications.
By forming protective films, these rust prevention additives provide superior protection for metal surfaces that are stored in environments with high rust potential. Depending on the type of carrier fluids and the additive, various types of films, such as dry-to-touch, waxy, greasy or oily, thick, thin, or ultra-thin films, can be formed. Then, protective films can be removed with solvents and/or alkaline cleaners, depending on film type and thickness. Some of these packages also provide demulsibility, water displacement, enhanced salt spray protection, and non-staining properties.
Finished rust-preventive products that provide maximum long-term or temporary protection of the metals can be formulated by proper rust prevention additives selected based on several parameters. Some of the most important parameters are storage and shipment environmental conditions, storage duration, and additional properties such as demulsibility/emulsibility, water separation, etc.
THIN FILM
These products form dry-to-touch, greasy or oily, thin films for prolonged indoor protection. Thin film products are diluted in solvent, oil, or combination.
ACID ATMOSPHERE
These products provide excellent protection of metals against acidic environments by forming virtually invisible protective films. Acid atmosphere products are diluted in oil, solvent, or combination.
HEAVY DUTY
Heavy-duty products form a visible, thick, dry-to-touch, greasy, or oily film for outdoor protection. They are diluted in oil, solvent, or water.
EMULSIFIABLE
Emulsifiable products form an ultra-thin protective film. They are diluted in oil or directly into water to formulate concentrates. The concentrates are further diluted with water by the end user.
