Selecting the right rust preventative for a specific product application is easy referencing Birchwood Casey’s handy corrosion resistance comparison chart. Manufacturers can quickly choose from 12 different aqueous and solvent-based inhibitors and sealants to prevent rust and corrosion on all metal surfaces. The different product formulations allow for variables such as the type of metal surface in question, level of protection needed, and conditions of exposure in handling, shipping, and storage. Special considerations such as removability and post-treatment operations should be considered in the selection of the correct product. Birchwood Casey’s eight solvent-based products provide robust protection for various metal surfaces including raw steel/casting inventory, in-process parts, finished products in distributor warehouses, or parts in long-term storage or overseas shipment. Its four water-based products provide a wide range of protection levels and surface appearance. These products include a water-dilutable oil, a satin-gloss acrylic wax, a high-gloss urethane polymer sealant, and a high-gloss acrylic polymer emulsion. Go online to [www.birchwoodcasey.com].
