CASTROL RUSTILO 181

Description

Castrol Rustilo™ 181 is a dark brown solvent deposited corrosion preventive fluid which, after evaporation of the solvent,

gives a hard waxy yet flexible film.

Application

Rustilo 181 is a long term protective for use in severe conditions where a high degree of protection is required.

It is ideal for protection of to certain engine spares such as fuel injector nozzles, fin tubes and similar highly finished

parts prior to long-term storage or transportation.

Rustilo 181 used to be applied by immersion, brush or spray.

Advantages

Contains a powerful corrosion inhibitor package suitable for severe conditions - provides reliable protection of

components

Good mechanical film strength and finger print suppressing properties - highly finished work not damaged by handling

improves product quality

Long bath-lifetimes possible - increases changing intervals and hence reduces operational cost

Easy to apply and short drying time - enables high level of productivity

Free from heavy metals, such as Barium - improves environmental profile and helps reducing waste disposal cost

If required protective films of Rustilo 181 can be removed by using a petroleum solvent or alkaline process cleaner, all

available from Castrol

Additional Information

The claims on film thickness and consumption are average values. These are valid for smooth surfaces with good

drain-off characteristics and simple geometries without holes or recesses.

Average drying time is the time until the majority of the solvent is evaporated at ambient temperature and a relative

humidity of 60 – 70%. The full corrosion protection will just be provided when the solvent is completely evaporated.

(*) "Indoor storage” describes the storage of ferrous components in closed store-rooms having a relative humidity of

60%. Increased protection times could be achieved when treating finished surfaces or store the parts in a sealed pack.

(**) "Outdoor storage” describes open storage, which assumes primary protection from the elements by tarpaulin or

other form of cover.

Storage

To avoid product deterioration always keep the container/drum tightly sealed. Store the product in a cool, dry place away

from direct sunlight. Prevent exposure to frost and avoid water ingress. For optimum product stability, it is preferable to

store the product indoors between 5°C and 30 °C / 41°F and 86°F.

Product must be used in a liquid form. Influence of temperature may cause some cloudiness, which is reversible and

does not have an impact on product quality or corrosion protection performance in most instances.
