Description:

Amber, soft gel. Lanolin-based coating. Solvent free. Non-toxic. Will not evaporate. Anti-corrosive coating, lubricant and penetrant for all metals.

General Usage:

Used in heavy marine and general industry, particularly for ballast tanks and voids, chains, hoists, wire rope, winches, turnbuckles, conveyors, bearings, augers, drills, valves, linkages, scales, joints and zert fittings. Preserves parts in storage or during shipment. Used in the maintenance of aircraft, heavy equipment, and automobiles. Also used in refineries, salt plants, power plants and gas companies.

Application:

Airless spray, roller, brush or grease gun.

If this soft gel is to be transferred from its original container into a spraying device, it is desirable to break the gel's thixotropy by mechanical agitation.

The agitation will convert the product to a more liquid consistency and make pouring feasible.

If conditions dictate a heavier coating or lubricant, refer to other Eureka Chemical Company Product Bulletins for semi-liquids, gels and greases or consult Eureka Chemical Company.

Particulars for Heavy Marine:

No sandblasting required. Remove flaking rust and peeling paint. Break all blisters larger than 25mm (one inch). Remove all standing water. Clean up all debris and silt. Residual coal tar and asphaltic coatings should be removed to leave a thickness of no more than 50 microns (0.002 inches).

If sufficient time and/or funds are not available for ideal preparation, FLUID FILM LIQUID AR may be applied with less preparation or none at all. In this case, it must be remembered that the product will soften scale to the point where exfoliation is likely. While this provides a relatively inexpensive method of descaling, tanks should be inspected more often, perhaps every several months, to determine if scale and coating have fallen. If so, touch-up of bare areas; this should be accomplished as soon as practical.
