Counter Rust T-18 is an excellent corrosion inhibitor for ferrous and several non-ferrous metals at 0.5 – 1% in synthetic and semi-synthetic fluids. Dipping ferrous metal parts in a 5% solution of Counter Rust T-18 will leave a dry-protective film for short term protection from humidity. It is an excellent sump side additive to boost pH and added bio resistance. Counter Rust T-18 is ideal for use in synthetic metalworking fluids, alkaline cleaners and water-based quenchants.
