RUSTLICK
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about RUSTLICK from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between Rustlick dry film and wet film corrosion inhibitors?
Rustlick corrosion inhibitors are classified by film type. Dry film inhibitors, such as those in Series B, leave a non-oily, dry-to-touch film and are typically used for short-term indoor protection of machined parts, tools, and equipment. Wet film inhibitors, including Series 606 and 631, leave a visible oily film and are selected for medium or long indoor life expectancy. The choice depends on the required protection duration and whether a residual film is acceptable for the next process step. Both types are available in container sizes from 1 gallon to 55 gallons, with maximum operating temperatures of 160°F or 212°F depending on the specific product.
What are the temperature ratings for Rustlick 631 corrosion inhibitor?
Rustlick 631 corrosion inhibitor has a maximum operating temperature of 160°F. It is a wet film type with a long indoor life expectancy, supplied in 1 gallon, 5 gallon, and 55 gallon containers. The 631 series is used for long-term indoor protection of metal surfaces in machining, manufacturing, and industrial maintenance applications. The 160°F rating indicates the maximum temperature at which the inhibitor maintains its protective properties. For applications requiring higher temperature resistance, Rustlick Series B dry film inhibitors are rated to 212°F but offer short indoor life expectancy.
Is Rustlick Ultracut Aero chlorine-free, and what is it used for?
Yes, Rustlick Ultracut Aero is a chlorine-free water-soluble cutting oil. It is formulated for machining aerospace alloys, including milling, turning, and drilling operations. The chlorine-free chemistry is specified where chlorine-containing fluids are restricted due to environmental, disposal, or material compatibility concerns. Ultracut Aero provides cooling and lubrication during machining. It is supplied under manufacturer part number 74405. 3G Electric stocks this product and can provide technical datasheets for review.
What container sizes are available for Rustlick corrosion inhibitors?
Rustlick corrosion inhibitors are supplied in 1 gallon, 5 gallon, and 55 gallon containers. For example, Series B dry film inhibitor is available in 1 gallon (MPN 73011), 5 gallon (MPN 73051), and 55 gallon (MPN 73551). Series 631 wet film inhibitor is available in 1 gallon (MPN 71011), 5 gallon (MPN 71051), and 55 gallon (MPN 71551). Series 606 medium-duty wet film inhibitor is available in 1 gallon (MPN 71152). Container selection depends on usage rate and storage capacity. 3G Electric can quote any of these sizes.
What is the indoor life expectancy of Rustlick Series B corrosion inhibitor?
Rustlick Series B corrosion inhibitor has a short indoor life expectancy. It forms a dry lubricant film and is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 212°F. This product is typically used for temporary protection of machined parts, tools, and equipment during indoor storage or between manufacturing operations. The short life expectancy means it is not intended for long-term preservation. For longer indoor protection, Rustlick 631 or 606 wet film inhibitors are appropriate, with long and medium life expectancies respectively. Series B is available in 1 gallon, 5 gallon, and 55 gallon containers.
Does 3G Electric provide datasheets for Rustlick products?
Yes, 3G Electric provides access to technical datasheets and safety data sheets for Rustlick products in its catalog. These documents include specifications such as film type, container size, maximum operating temperature, and indoor life expectancy. For cutting oils like Ultracut Aero, datasheets cover formulation details and recommended applications. Datasheets are available upon request or through the product listing. 3G Electric can also assist with part number cross-referencing and container size selection.
