Dri Touch Amber rust blocker forms a colourless, odorless barrier film that is dry-to-touch and highly resistant to humidity and corrosion.
Dri Touch Amber rust blocker forms a colourless, odorless barrier film that is dry-to-touch and highly resistant to humidity and corrosion.
It is designed for use on all types of cast iron, steel and MIM components that are machined or have characteristics such as blind holes, recesses and uneven surfaces.
The Dri Touch Amber coating will not drain off parts, or wick off into packaging materials, like oil-based products can.
It effectively protects parts that go into storage or dealer warehouses that require robust corrosion resistance without an oily film.
Dri Touch Amber is ideal for all types of hand tools and motor assemblies that contain both metallic and nonmetallic components.
It penetrates and de-waters recessed areas without damaging nonmetallic components such as grips, handles, fasteners and enclosures.
The colourless film is especially useful for parts that are shrink or blister packaged for retail sale.
Dri Touch Amber is a high grade solvent solution with a light amber colour and a very low odor that makes it easy and safe to work with in all factory or tool room areas.
When applied to a metal surface, it rapidly penetrates recessed areas and dries quickly, leaving a non-dimensional, soft waxy film.
Dri Touch Amber is rated for 100h-plus salt spray and 600h-plus humidity protection and meets water displacement test MIL-C-16173 and stain test MIL-C-22235A.
Dri Touch Amber is applied to wet or dry surfaces by dipping, brushing or low-pressure spraying.
Bulk handled parts can be efficiently coated by dipping, followed by a short spin dry to reclaim excess liquid.
Ideal for use as a topcoat over black oxide or phosphate conversion coatings, Dri Touch Amber seals out corrosion and enhances the depth of colour.
It can also be used for long term storage on uncoated metal surfaces, such as tools, fixtures, dies, moulds etc.
The Dri Touch Amber film dries and lubricates without interfering with part assembly or operation and is compatible with most lubricants, cutting oils and hydraulic oils.
