Delta Foremost® 1198 Break-a-way

1 of 6 products in this brand
Delta Foremost® 1198 Break-a-way is a unique blend of solvent, dispersant, and penetrating ingredients composed of rust-preventative film-forming materials with excellent adhesion on metal surfaces. Distinctive characteristics include fingerprint-neutralizing, lubricating and water displacing properties. The rust preventative film is so thin as to be nearly invisible. Build-up is so light that it can be applied periodically to protect the finished steel surface of machinery in service. Foremost 1198 Break-A-Way contains no 1,1,1-Trichloroethane, CFCs or other ozone depleting substances.

Features & Benefits

Ready-to-Use Product Features
Benefits
  • Frees "frozen" parts.
  • Fast acting.
  • Instantly loosens rust bond.
  • Lubricates as it penetrates.
Product Highlights
  • Four big benefits - Break-A-Way delivers big 4-way action! 1. Penetrates 2. Lubricates 3. Cleans 4. Prevents Rust and Corrosion. Frees nuts, bolts, fittings, and other parts frozen by rust, corrosion, carbon, gum, or sludge.
  • Break-A-Way is not an ordinary penetrating oil. Its powerful combination of new penetrating agents, surfactants, and active solvents really get to the bottom of the trouble in short order.
  • Versatile - Break-A-Way reduces strain, even on parts that would otherwise end up being sawed or cut with a torch. It leaves a rust resistant film.
  • Fast Penetrating - Spray and allow a minute or two for penetration (for difficult binds, re-apply and let soak). The parts will release with minimum effort—makes mechanical work much easier and employees appreciate the "helping hand" of Break-A-Way.
  • Contains no CFC's or other ozone depleting substances.
  • Authorized by usda for use in federally inspected meat and poultry plants.

Note - Foremost Break-A-Way is not an alkali or acid. It is safe to use on sound painted surfaces and metals of all kinds.

Application

Recommended for all maintenance men, industrial maintenance, mechanics, machinists, pipe-fitters and plumbers as a penetrating oil to break up and free rusty bolts, nuts, valves and various types of fittings. Its water-displacing properties have also made it useful, when applied as a spray, for drying automotive wiring to eliminate electrical leakage caused by moisture. Since it affords excellent rust preventative protection, many uses for this material are found in these industries: shipping or storing machinery, farm implement parts, vehicles and military equipment.

Directions

It is readily applied by spraying and may be removed easily by means of a solvent whenever desired. After application, the volatile constituents evaporate, leaving a thin, tough film on the metal surfaces. Rust preventative gives maximum protection when applied only to clean surfaces. The surface does not have to be dry, since a water displacing agent is present. For penetration, spray a liberal application of Foremost 1198 Break-A-Way on the frozen parts and wait approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Tap the treated part lightly, then loosen part gently.
