Extend Plus Rust Preventative

Water-displacing rust preventative

Non-staining, water-displacing film for short/long-term indoor protection after machining or alkaline cleaning; suitable for parts prior to shipment.

  • 🧪 Technical Data: See datasheet for appearance, specific gravity and film type.
  • ⚙️ Use Instructions: For maximum protection use as received; may be cut per datasheet.
  • 💧 Dispensing: Dip, brush, or spray; remove with mild alkaline cleaner when needed.
  • 🔩 Metals: Ferrous parts; test on other alloys/finishes.

LR Prep

Acid descale / light rust strip & phosphate prep

Acid cleaner that removes oil/grease, descales and lightly strips rust; prepares metal for coatings in cold or heated dip tanks.

  • 🧪 Technical Data: See datasheet for appearance, pH and specific gravity.
  • ⚙️ Use Instructions: Typical dilutions 1:5–1:20 based on soils.
  • 💧 Dispensing: Dip/immersion; compatible with heated tanks.
  • 🔩 Metals: Safe on stainless; use appropriate tanks for iron/steel.

Brite 4000

Acid cleaner and pickling

Rapidly penetrates and pickles heat scale, oxide films, and weld/laser burn from ferrous surfaces without pitting; also dissolves mineral deposits.

  • 🧪 Technical Data: See datasheet for SG, pH (use dilution), wetting and rinsing.
  • ⚙️ Use Instructions: Immersion 5–20%; spray 5–10% (per datasheet).
  • 💧 Dispensing: Immersion or spray systems.
  • 🔩 Metals: Ferrous substrates; evaluate on other alloys.
