Applications

Counter Rust 199 is partially neutralized, requiring the addition of an alkanolamine for optimal corrosion protection. Counter Rust 199 is ideal for use in synthetic metalworking fluids, alkaline cleaners and water-based quenchants.

Technical Details & Test Data

Suggested Formulations
  • Counter Rust 199 is most effective at a pH > 8.7
  • Counter Rust 199 in partially neutralized. We recommend adding an alkanolamine such as triethanolamine, diglycolamine , amino methyl propanol or other amines to raise the final pH to 8.7
  • For highly effective in-process corrosion protection, Counter Rust 199 should be at pH 9.0 or higher
  • For indoor protection, prepare a solution containing 2-3% Counter Rust 199 at a pH of 9.0 or higher to achieve 30 days protection
