Additional Information

See Technical Data Sheet for ASTM D2247-68 and ASTM B117-73 testing data., The claims on film thickness and coverage are average values. These are valid for smooth surfaces with good drain-off characteristics and simple geometries without holes or recesses. The full corrosion protection will be provided when the water is completely evaporated. Dilutions of Rustilo 4175 may be heated to facilitate drying. (*) "Indoor storage” describes the storage of ferrous components in closed store-rooms having a relative humidity of 60%. Increased protection times could be achieved by treating finished surfaces or storing the parts in a sealed pack. (**) "Outdoor storage” describes open storage, which assumes primary protection from the elements by tarpaulin or other form of cover.

Applications

Rustilo Aqua 639 provides a temporary protective coating to help preventing corrosion during storage and shipment of parts. It is recommended for metal surfaces, i.e. aluminum, steel, stainless steel, copper, and galvanized and plated metals, where a waxy coating can be employed to give effective exterior or interior rust protection. Recommended Applications: Use as a torque reduction and corrosion resistant lubricant on various fasteners, Use as a corrosion preventive and decorative coating on cast iron, Use as an anti-graffiti coating over various surfaces including vinyl, rubber, plastic, painted surfaces, metal, and other surfaces., Provides a dry, imperceptible barrier film over various surfaces. Graffiti adheres to the barrier film of Aquasafe 639 and not to the coated surface., Commonly used as a nonflammable, dry film lubricant and corrosion preventive on electrical connectors, pins, screws, and other electrical components. Does not inhibit the flow of electricity in electrical connectors., Excellent release properties make it capable of being used as a mold release agent for flexible or rigid forms., Rustilo Aqua 639 can be applied by almost any commercial method—flow coat, immersion, wipe, or spray., Rustilo 4175 is an inter-operational corrosion preventive providing short term temporary protection on metal parts and components, while stored or stacked indoors until assembly. The product can be applied to both dry and wet ferrous parts by immersion, spray or flow coat. Rustilo 4175 can be used on non-ferrous parts, except aluminum, if they are dried after application. Rustilo 4175 can also be used as a rinse and corrosion preventive in multi-stage washers and or as an additive in alkaline cleaners and metalworking fluids for additional protection or as a light cleaner in one stage washers.

Application Procedure

Rustilo Aqua 639 can be used to coat lightly oiled metal surfaces and will dry to a tack-free surface. Test a sample part to determine adhesion and film-forming properties when applying over lightly oiled or uncleaned surfaces. Since there are various types of oils, we recommend such a pretest for compatibility. Drying time depends upon temperature, humidity and air flow. At 75°F (24°C) and 45% relative humidity, Rustilo Aqua 639 dries to the touch in about 15 minutes when applied at full strength. Forced warm air and/or dilution will decrease the drying time

Corrosion Protection

Indoor Storage at 10% Dilution – Up to 9 months, Outdoor Storage at 10% Dilution – Not Recommended

Coverage (m²)

1 gallon – 223, 1 Liter at 10% Dilution – 87
