PROTECTION TYPE Protects ferrous iron, steel, and some non-ferrous metals including aluminum, zinc, and solder. Compatible with copper, but does not prevent tarnish.
PROTECTION LIFE If properly applied, Axxanol™ 46-BIO will protect metals three months outdoors, one year indoors or under shelter.
Zerust® Axxanol™ 46-Bio is a bio-based, sprayable corrosion inhibitor preservative in the form of a light lubricant oil. It offers corrosion protection on exposed surfaces as well as in crevices and recesses for iron, steel, aluminum and related alloys. Axxanol 46-BIO is made from renewable vegetable oil, making it less flammable (flash point of 435ºF/224ºC) when compared with conventional mineral-oil based corrosion protective compounds (CPC). Axxanol 46-BIO protects for up to three months outdoors and one year indoors or under shelter.
Sprayable Cleaner Lubricant Preservative (CLP)
This environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitor is formulated to compare in performance to MIL-PRF-3150 medium preservative oils except for its viscosity. It is a light oil with a viscosity of 46 centipoise for better flow than conventional 100 centipoise MIL-PRF-3150 oils. Axxanol 46-BIO's light, viscous properties, optimize it for compressed-air spray application. It also compares favorably with MIL-PRF-63460 cleaner-lubricant-preservatives and light CPC grades of MIL-PRF-16173 except it is bio-based. Axxanol 46-BIO can be dip coated, brushed or wiped onto surfaces to leave a thin, transparent non-tacky film. It is ideal for applications such as cleaning and protecting equipment and machinery that is temporarily left outdoors.
APPLICATION EXAMPLES
ZERUST® AXXANOL™ 46-BIO IS IDEAL FOR PROTECTION OF OBJECTS WITH EXPOSED BARE METAL SUCH AS TOOLS, VEHICLES, MILITARY AND FARM EQUIPMENT. IT IS ALSO IDEAL FOR LUBRICATION AND CORROSION PROTECTION OF CABLES, COILS, HINGES AND CASTORS.

CORROSION PROTECTION FOR :
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
1. Ensure metal surfaces are clean and free of contaminants such as dirt, oil, fluids, etc.
2. Apply a thin coat of Zerust Axxanol 46-Bio using pressurized air or airless sprayer or other light misting, brushing or dipping methods.
3. Allow excess Axxanol 46-Bio to drain-off or wipe-off excess with a clean lint-free cloth. The product will leave behind a thin corrosion-inhibiting residual film that provides full protection.
Store in a tightly closed container in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Note: Since product is a bio-based vegetable oil some darkening of the product color may occur when it comes in contact with light and air. Discoloration will not affect product performance.
REMOVAL:
Axxanol 46-Bio is easily removed with common aqueous-based household or industrial detergents, either manually or with a pressure washer. For a greener solution, use eco-friendly cleaners such as Simple Green®.
