ALOX® 2188 rust preventive provides exceptional protection against rust and staining, and ensures consistent performance.
The ALOX 2188 barium-based package offers excellent rust protection using a selected blend of inhibitors that include the barium soap of an oxygenated hydrocarbon. This rust preventive is soluble in solvent, solvent/oil, and oil diluents to meet a full range of treat rate and performance requirements, and provides up to 100 hours of rust
protection as measured by the ASTM B117 salt spray test.
ALOX 2188 rust preventive is non-staining, so treated metals can be stacked or coiled without blemish. Its exceptional salt spray performance makes it ideal for treating metals that are to be shipped overseas or warehoused near the ocean. It also offers excellent water separation and water displacement properties, ensuring film consistency in dip tank applications.
