• Displaces water from metal surfaces.

LAB OIL 100

Water soluble emulsion type rust preventative that can be applied over phosphate, black oxide or bare steel. LAB OIL 100 combines the properties of high corrosion resistance, "dry to the touch" (over phosphate), excellent emulsification characteristics and low toxicity.

Benefits:

• Contains no barium compounds.

• Emulsions of LAB OIL 100 applied over zinc phosphated steel panels have survived in excess of 240 hours of salt spray exposure (ASTM B-117).

• Formulated to also offer excellent emulsion stability to alkaline or acid contamination as encountered in black oxide or phosphating processing cycles.

Perkote 80-325

Oil-type rust preventive ideal for protecting metal surfaces from corrosion. Perkote 80-325 is an economical, versatile oil that generally has been used in the cold drawn steel industry as a straightener slushing oil or as a final rust preventive for steel bars.

Benefits:
