Ardrox 3961 Water displacing fluid/corrosion preventative

ARDROX 3961 is a blend of surfactants, corrosion inhibitors and oil in a petroleum-based solvent. It is designed to have excellent dewatering and penetrating properties and will leave a thin, oily film on articles to which it is applied. This film will impart good corrosion protection. ARDROX 3961 is not recommended for outdoor storage protection. Other ARDROX products, e.g. ARDROX 3302/3140, is available for long-term protection outdoors. The following are examples of the uses of the product: > Dewatering and temporary corrosion protection after pickling > Temporary protection in inter-stage fabrication and storage of parts, sub-assemblies, dies and tools > Penetrating fluid for freeing seized components > Restoring wet electrical equipment to working order without the necessity for drying out > Preservation of gas turbine compressors > Maintenance protection of on-site plant and equipment Chemicals required ARDROX 3961 Method of use The preferred methods of application of ARDROX 3961 are by spraying, brushing or swabbing. It may, however, also be applied by dipping, in which case tanks should be constructed with a sloping or conical bottom so that any water which collects may be easily run off. ARDROX 3961 is also available in an aerosol pack for ease of application. Extension tubes are supplied with the aerosols so that the product may be sprayed into crevices, recesses etc. ARDROX 3961 coatings may be removed with white spirit, ARDROX 9PR50A or ARDROX 9PR70. Effects on materials When used in the prescribed manner ARDROX 3961 will have no deleterious effect on most materials of construction or good quality paint schemes. Some types of rubber, however, will swell after prolonged contact.
