Description
FEATURES
-
Long-term protection (up to 1 year outdoors) for all metals during shipment or extended storage
-
Waxy film seals out moisture effectively
-
Highly resistant to humidity and salt spray
-
Can be removed or diluted, for film thickness variation, with petroleum solvents
-
Aerosols use hydrocarbon propellant for controlled application and film thickness
-

APPLICATIONS
-
Protection of finished components, in-process parts, in-transit goods, raw materials, structural steel.
-
Effective corrosion shield for overseas shipments, ‘winterising’ of farm machinery, outdoor storage.
-
Protection of equipment, tools, dies, molds, jigs, pipes, shafts, housings, wire ropes, valves, gears.
-
To be used for brine and chloride resistance in refrigeration plants.
-
In paper and pulp plants.
-
As a cable end sealer and pipe joint protector in utilities .
-
Protection of air conditioning and electrical equipment in hospitals and educational institutions.
-
In airport and aircraft maintenance and construction.
DIRECTIONS
-
Shake aerosol can well before use. Stir or mix bulk product to break its paraffin structure before dipping or brushing applications.
-
Mask area not to be treated. If necessary, remove by solvent cleaners (CRC Fast Dry Degreaser, CRC Industrial Degreaser,…).
-
Film thickness may be adjusted by thinning with petroleum solvents, but corrosion resistance varies with film thickness (see typical properties).
For applications in wet or very humid conditions, CRC 3-36 should be applied first for complete moisture displacement. Allow then 2 to 4 hours for solvent evaporation before SP 400 is applied.
-
When finished spraying, clean aerosol valve by turning can upside down and pressing actuator until only propellant escapes.
-
Do not use on energised equipment. Use in well ventilated areas.
-
A Safety data sheet (MSDS) according EU directive 93/112 is available for all CRC products.
