Counter Rust 108 has a low pH allowing the formulator the ability to adjust pH with any alkalinity source. The low pH makes it ideal for formulating fluids for use on aluminum or other metals subject to staining at a higher pH.
Counter Rust 108 is ideal for use in synthetic metalworking fluids, cleaners and other water-based industrial fluids.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Suggested Formulations
- In acidic condition Counter Rust 108 must be adjusted to pH 6.4 for stability
- Counter Rust 108 should be used at pH 8.0 for ferrous metals for maximum effectiveness
- pH can be adjusted using any alkalinity source
- At pH >8.0, Counter Rust 108 is highly effective on steel and cast iron
