In most manufacturing industries, part protection during shipping or storage before final assembly is crucial and usage of rust preventive oil is essential. The performance of an RP to get the best corrosion protection can be demonstrated by high Salt Spray (SST) Life. An aspect in which Contact Corrosion Inhibition (CCI) based RP oils exemplify enduringness. From EHS & operational aspects, these anti-rust products should have REACH compliance, low evaporation, strong demulsification and ease of removal. In specific cases, like in enclosed surface areas VCI oils are recommended and for parts exposed to an acidic environment special acid protection rust preventive oil are needed.
