Rust Veto 310
Multi-purpose water-dilutable rust preventive concentrate
DESCRIPTION
ADVANTAGES
Rust Veto 310 is a multi-purpose rust preventive used either
neat or mixed with water to provide a wide range of rust
preventive requirements. Rust Veto 310 contains rust
inhibiting additives and emulsifiers which when mixed with
water provides a versatile non-flammable emulsion.
Rust Veto 310 emulsions eliminate fire hazards and improve
plant safety and environmental conditions by replacing
solvent based rust preventives in many applications.
APPLICATION
Rust Veto 310 is generally mixed with water at
concentrations ranging from 5% to 25% depending upon the
specific application. The thin oily film provided by Rust Veto
310 emulsions provides excellent corrosion protection during
indoor storage but can also be used neat to give extended
corrosion protection.
15% to 25% emulsions provide an alternative to conventional
solvent or mineral oil based products. Applications include
dewatering, inter-operational protection and final protection
of finished parts during indoor storage, packing and
shipment.
10% to 15% emulsions can be used for the protection of
steel strip after pickling or as a final pass for rolling sheet
steel.
5% to 10% emulsions are suitable for use as the final rinse
stage in chemical treatment or cleaning operations to provide
short-term protection.
RECOMMENDATION FOR USE
Emulsions can easily be prepared by adding the required
amount of Rust Veto 310 to water and stirring continuously.
Rust Veto 310 emulsions can be applied by dipping, spraying
or brushing, or in the final stage of a power washing plant.
Rust Veto 310 emulsions can be used at temperatures
ranging from ambient to 80ºC. Whilst a drying time of 1 to 2
hours can be expected when used at ambient temperature
more rapid drying will be obtained at higher temperatures.
When left to stand an oil/cream layer may form on the
surface, constant mild agitation is therefore recommended
during application. If applied to internal surfaces i.e. tubes,
pumps etc. Rust Veto 310 emulsions should be allowed to dry
thoroughly before components are subsequently sealed or
capped. Warm air circulation will facilitate drying.
Concentration control of Rust Veto 310 emulsions can be
achieved by refractive index measurement or acid splitting
techniques.
