Dosage Information

Mainly used for:

  • Temporary protection of metals during transport and indoor storage.
  • Protection of metal equipments being in long-term contact with a static and corrosive liquid : degreasing baths, stripping operations, etc...

Can also be used in:

  • As corrosion inhibitor for metal working procedures (metal working fluids, degreasers, strippers, grinding fluids, polishing fluids, cleaners.
  • As hydrophobic agent for solventborne waxes, greases, sealants and glues.
  • Temporary protection - The Ascotran-L13 can be applied by spaying, dipping after being diluted into a solvent, or into the last metal working bath (degreasers, rinsing tanks. Dosage from 2 to 10%, depending on the required protection duration.
