Anti-rust oil is a specialized product used to preserve metal against and prevent rust on metal surfaces due to environmental influences (temperature, humidity, oxidation, …).
Oil-based anti-rust oil is often known and used by many people, but there is also a water-based anti-rust oil that still has a good metal protection effect that you may not have known.
In this article, Unioil we would like to share with customers the information about water-based anti-rust oil and the properties and applications of water-based anti-rust oil in metal preservation to help customers Choose the right product for your job
1. What causes rust on metal?
To overcome rust on metal, first find out the cause of this phenomenon
Common agents such as: oxygen, water vapor present in the air, rainy weather, high temperature environment, .. impact on metal surfaces causing oxidation, leading to rust.
2. What is anti-rust oil? And how to classify anti-rust oil?
Anti-rust oil (anti-rust agent) is a type that is applied to resist and prevent the impact of the environment (temperature, humidity, oxidation, …) on the metal surface to prevent oxidation. Prevents rust and helps metal to be better preserved under storage conditions
Anti-rust oil is usually applied by spraying, dipping or coating on the metal surface, which will form an oil film or wax film on the metal surface to prevent the metal from coming into direct contact with the environment. metal is better preserved.
There are many ways to classify antirust oils, and the most common is by oil base.
According to the above classification, it can be seen that there are 3 types of antirust oil based on solvent, oil based and water based. Each type will have its own characteristics and applications
3. What is water-based anti-rust oil?
Water-based anti-rust oil is a special synthetic product that can dissolve in water, when covered on the metal surface after drying, it creates a protective film on the metal surface to help limit contact between the metal and the metal. type with the outside environment thereby protecting the metal from rust.
Features of water-based anti-rust oil
- When dry, it creates a wax film that is insoluble in water, but easily soluble in alkaline environments or cleaning solutions to facilitate the fabrication and metal processing before and after machining.
- Features continuous and long-lasting protection.
- In an oil-free composition, which eliminates common disposal problems, helping to protect the environment.
- Has a stable pH, does not cause corrosion for users.
- Stable when diluted with hard water up to 2000 ppm.
- Cheaper than using oil-based or solvent-based oils
Defect
However, water-based anti-rust oil also has disadvantages such as:
- The drying time is long, because it takes time for the water to evaporate and create a wax film, depending on the climate of each area, it can be from 30 to 60 minutes.
- Water-based anti-rust oils are only suitable for short-term protection applications less than 6 months
User manual:
- Anti-rust oil is not a rust remover, best results are obtained only when treating clean surfaces.
- Dip or spray:
- The dipping method ensures adequate coverage and anti-rust oil on the metal surface.
- If spraying, spraying or sweeping methods are used, drying and cleaning the metal surface will give a more effective protection effect.
- Usage: use directly or dilute with water to a minimum ratio of 1:10 depending on the application and desired storage time.
EPILOGUE:
Unioil has researched and produced a water-based anti-rust oil with excellent and environmentally friendly features. Please contact us for advice and choose the most suitable product.
