No, Axxatec™ 80C is not compatible with hard water. Instead, for optimal performance and extended bath life, it is advisable to use deionized or reverse osmosis water for both bath preparation and rinsing, as this helps minimize corrosion risk. If these options are unavailable and tap water must be used, it should first be treated with 0.2 – 1.5% ZERUST®/EXCOR® AxxaVis™ HST-10 before diluting Axxatec™ 80C. Always verify the compatibility with various metals prior to application. For tailored dilution guidelines based on specific operational needs and conditions, please consult your ZERUST®/EXCOR® account representative.
ZERUST® Axxatec™ 80C
ZERUST® Axxatec™ 80C is a long-lasting water-based rust preventative that protects ferrous metals such as cast iron, steel, and its alloys for up to 6 months‡ during indoor storage, shipping, and assembly. Furthermore, it is also multimetal and zinc-compatible. However, we advise you to test before use.
Features
- Forms a clear, dry-to-touch, hydrophobic film
- The concentrated formula reduces shipping costs and allows for customized dilutable protection
- Safe for painted, rubber, and plastic materials
- Easy to apply and remove
- Non-hazardous
Product Description
Product Description
When applied and dried, this long-lasting water-based rust preventative leaves a safe, clear, slightly tacky protective coating. As a result, Axxatec™ 80C coated and dried parts are safe to handle, and end users do not need to wear personal protective equipment such as a respirator, mask, or safety glasses, making it safer and more economical to use than solvent-based systems. Even though gloves are not mandatory, we recommend using clean gloves without lint or talc to keep metals free of contaminants.
After allowing metals to completely dry, place them into ZERUST® Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) film packaging products for a more robust solution that protects for years‡ during indoor storage or challenging shipping conditions, such as ocean freight. Axxatec™ 80C long-lasting water-based rust preventative does not contain solvent or VOC, is non-flammable, complies with Global Automotive Declarable Substance, TSCA, ECHA SVHC, RoHS, and REACH requirements, and is environmentally friendly.
