Directions for use: Axxanol™ 33
- Make sure parts are clean and dry.
- Wear gloves when handling parts to avoid corrosion causing fingerprints.
- Apply in a well ventilated area.
- Spray, slush, brush or dip metal parts with Axxanol™ 33. Use NIOSH approved mist or air supplied respirator when material is sprayed.
- Package parts using Zerust® materials for added corrosion protection.
- Ship or store parts in protected storage (protects up to eight months under shelter).
Removal:
Zerust® Axxanol™ 33 can be easily removed by using any commercially available alkaline cleaner or solvent. Always check with your customer to see if removal of Axxanol™ 33 is required prior to the use of the protected parts.
Directions for use: 46-Bio
- Make sure that metal surfaces are clean and free of contaminants such as dirt, oil, fluids, etc.
- Apply a thin coat of Zerust® Axxanol™ 46-BIO to parts using pressurized air or airless sprayer or other light misting, brushing or dipping methods.
- Allow excess Zerust® Axxanol™ 46-BIO to drain, drip off, or wipe off excess with a clean lint-free cloth. The product will leave behind a thin corrosion inhibiting residual film that will provide full protection.
- Use in conjunction with packaging film, such as LDPE, barrier material for a more robust solution that protects parts from corrosion for five years or more.
Storage: Keep containers closed when not in use. Store out of direct sunlight in a cool environment. Wash thoroughly after handling. Notice: Since product is a bio-based vegetable oil some darkening of the product color may occur when it comes in contact with light and air. Discoloration will not affect product performance.
Removal:
Axxanol™ 46-BIO is easily removed with common aqueous-based household or industrial detergents. As a consideration, it is recommended that environmentally compliant (Green) cleaners be used, an example of which is Simple Green.
Directions for use: Axxanol™ 8110
- Make sure metal surfaces and parts within the system are as clean as possible.
- Mix Axxanol™8110 with coolant or hydraulic fluid in a ratio of 1 part Axxanol™8110 to 10 parts fluid.
- Wear gloves to avoid corrosion caused by fingerprints on metal surfaces and parts.
- Add Axxanol™ 8110/fluid mixture to your cooling or hydraulic system.
- The system will be protected for up to six months.
If used as a rinse or temporary coating (a few hours) prior to packaging in Zerust® Film, mix Axxanol™ 8110 with de-ionized water in a ratio of 1 part Axxanol™ 8110 to 10 parts water.
Removal:
Flush system with de-ionized water or rinse parts to remove Axxanol™ 8110.
Directions for use: Axxatec™ 77C
- Make sure parts are clean and dry.
- Dilute Axxatec™ 77C with deionized or reverse osmosis water (recommended for optimum performance) in a ratio of 1 part Axxatec™ 77C to 24 parts water. Use vigorous agitation when mixing
- Wear gloves when handling parts to avoid corrosion causing fingerprints.
- Spray, brush or dip metal parts into diluted Axxatec™ 77C.
- Air dry. Drying time is approximately 15 minutes.
- Ship or store parts in protected storage (protects up to four months under shelter).
Removal:
Zerust® Axxatec™ 77C can be easily removed by using any commercially available alkaline cleaner or solvent. Always check with your customer to see if removal of Axxatec™ 77C is required prior to the use of the protected parts.
Directions for use: Z-Maxx
- Make sure parts are clean and dry.
- Wear gloves when handling parts to avoid corrosion from fingerprints.
- Make sure the part temperature is near to the ambient temperature when coating.
- Apply Z-Maxx at room temperature with brush or roller and remove any excess materials.
- Use or store parts in protected storage for up to 2 years or outdoors for 9-12 months
Removal:
Zerust® Z-Maxx can be removed by using any commercially available solvent and/or alkaline cleaner. Always check with your customer to see if removal of Z-Maxx is required prior to the use of the protected parts.
