FLUID FILM is a solventless rust inhibitor based on lanolin (wool fat). It does not harden, it remains permanently elastic and fluid.
FLUID FILM is available in various viscosities:
FLUID FILM LIQUID A: very thin, excellent penetration.
FLUID FILM NAS / AS-R spray cans: thicker than LIQUID A, viscosity almost as engine oil, excellent penetrating properties
FLUID FILM LIQUID AR: viscous, much like grease.
FLUID FILM GEL BN: very thick, not liquid.
FLUID FILM varieties are oil-like or grease-like and cannot be painted!
Purpose of use:
FLUID FILM LIQUID A: temporary rust protection of metals of all kinds
FLUID FILM NAS: temporary rust protection of metals of all kinds, longer term of protection than LIQUID A
FLUID FILM LIQUID AR: long-term rust protection of iron, steel, metal, also for steel wire ropes.
FLUID FILM GEL BN: only elastic, not fluid, long-time rust protection, for sheet pile retaining walls, temporarily under water, antirust protection of ships, offshore units, for chain cases, anchor locker and cofferdam for open gears of construction machinery and ships, docks, for the sealing of folding, rust protection of winter service equipment and winter service vehicles, hydraulic and screw connections.
Corrosion protection of cars, motor vehicles, trucks, commercial vehicles, winter service equipment, vintage cars / classic cars
FLUID FILM LIQUID A as penetrating oil for rusty cavities. For long-lasting antirust protection an after-treatment with LIQUID AR is required after a few weeks, at the latest after 6 months.
FLUID FILM NAS: as a penetrating oil for rusty cavities, for long-lasting rust prevention post-treatment with LIQUID AR is necessary after a few weeks, at the latest after 12 months.
FLUID FILM AS-R: as a penetrating oil for rusty cavities, 60 cm-long cavity probe for the spray can be ordered separately, if not included in the delivery. For lubrication of hinges, antennas etc.
FLUID FILM LIQUID A, NAS and AS-R as antirust protection for all parts of bare metal of winter service equipment
FLUID FILM LIQUID AR: for new and rusted cavities, for post-treatment of cavities, which have been pretreated with LIQUID A or NAS
FLUID FILM GEL BN: for underbody protection, wheel arches and to cover notches and gaps
Renewing of old underbody protection, to restore the smoothness of embrittled underbody protection:
Only possible when the old underbody protection consists of bitumen, wax or PERMA FILM. In this case treatment with LIQUID A, NAS or AS-R is possible. Not possible with PVC,
Corrosion prevention of ballast water tanks: possible with LIQUID A, NAS and AR.
Wood protection:
FLUID FILM LIQUID A is very well suited to oil untreated wood. Processing with brush, air paint spray gun or spray guns for spraying agents.
Note:
FLUID FILM stops rust - but it removes no rust. It prevents the supply of oxygen and moisture to the metal. LIQUID A, NAS and AS-R have slight penetrating properties, rust may flake off after treatment.
In case of strong rusted parts, rust may even spread under the treated surface. The better you remove any rust, the more durable the new antirust protection will be.
Processing:
FLUID FILM LIQUID A, NAS, LIQUID AR and GEL BN can be processed with a brush.
FLUID FILM GEL BN must be warmed, and can only be painted or processed with an airless sprayer
Processing with air spray gun, pneumatic spray gun:
For best results in cavity protection an air spray gun / pneumatic spray gun VAUPEL 3100 ASR / 3200 ASKR / 3300 HSDR (with thin probe, with a diameter of 6 mm and 1.15 metres long.) Probes up to 3.5 meters are available as accessory). Pneumatic spray guns have more performance by excess pressure, they provide a finer nebulisation of corrosion inhibitor in the cavity.
Pneumatic spray guns suitable for cavity protection with FLUID FILM LIQUID A and NAS:
VAUPEL air spray guns / pneumatic spray guns 3100 ASR / 3200 ASKR / 3300 HSDR each with overpressure cup
Suction cup guns (operating principle of vacuum, only available with thick probes with a diameter of 8 mm and 70 cm long):
VAUPEL 2100 AGS / RODCRAFT RC8035.
Cavity protection pistols suitable for FLUID FILM LIQUID AR:
FLUID FILM LIQUID AR can only be processed with overpressure pneumatic spray guns. Optimal: VAUPEL 3100 ASR and 3200 ASKR (90 mm wide cup opening, even the tough fat is quickly poured in). For processing, LIQUID AR has to be warmed up (at maximum + 45 degrees Celsius). Optionally it has to be diluted with approx. 10% LIQUID A or NAS.
