Counter Rust T-43 is an excellent source of reserve alkalinity and a good buffering agent to help extend the life of metalworking fluids. Dipping metal parts in a 5% solution of Counter Rust T-43 in water will leave a dry protective film for short term indoor protection from humidity. Counter Rust T-43 is also a good sump side additive to provide additional buffering and bio stability to fluids.
