Resist Corrosion with Hinge Wax

Just like atmospheric surroundings, which is different for corrosivity depending on where people are in the world, the same is for metal Corrosion Prevention in the automotive body: for example, in some nations, the automotive environment is aggressive enough because of humid climate, poor road conditions (mud and water on the road) and of the use of de-icing salts causing metals corrosion. Wax that aids in the prevention of rusting is the solution!

Protecting vital OCTG

 

There are various kinds of environments related to different corrosion types such as rural, marine, industrial, urban, and automotive.

 

• Rural Atmosphere: Lower amounts of pollutants with deposition of SO.
• Marine Atmosphere: Huge amount of chlorides with deposition of NaCI.
• Industrial Atmosphere: It May contain various kinds of pollutants and has a high deposition of SO₂.
• Urban Atmosphere: High amounts of SO₂ and soot with deposition of SO₂.
• Automotive Environment: Automotive environment is quite aggressive and causes metal corrosion in automotive parts due to high pollution levels.
• Corrosion Due to Road Mud: There is a lot of road mud that can be attached to an exposed metal such as automotive parts lead to corrosion. As the dust or mud gets settled on the surface it remains wet for a longer time. The surface that has deposits work as an anode while the plain surface work as a cathode.
• Corrosion Due to De-Icing Salts: Salts are used to reduce snow melting temperature and ice on roads to increase traction between tires and road. One of the most used de-icing salts is sodium chloride (NaCI), in fact, this solution has a strong corrosive effect. 

 

Preventing and Resisting Corrosion in Automobile Body

 

There is an internal vehicle body corrosion problem that can be most efficiently controlled by petroleum-based rustproofing waxes or compounds. A bunch of laboratory tests can be used to accurately predict the application and conduct characteristics of these waxes. It is also established that these cases provide more effective internal protective coating for corrosion control than standard factory-applied finishes.

 

India’s most renowned car manufacturer is using Hinge wax Nox Rust® 7703 WJ in their assembly line for protecting the door hinge of the vehicles successfully and effectively for the last few years to provide long term protection to the vehicle bodies.

 

NOX RUST 7703 WJ is a solvent cutback cold application coating based on Daubert’s proprietary SACI technology, this product was developed for use inside automobiles and hinges which are subject to corrosion environments. It maintains artistic and extends vehicular efficiency.

 

Features	Benefits
SACI® Technology	SACI® corrosion inhibitors offer an environmentally responsible solution to corrosion prevention of metal structures facing severe atmospheric conditions.   Having a structure of highly polar, overlapping microscopic platelets that block moisture, SACI® corrosion inhibitors resist cracking and peeling, are thermally stable, and hold fast to sharp edges. Environmentally, SACI® formulations provide barium as well as lead-free choices, so that the run-off is not laden with the harmful conventional coatings. Even barges, bearings, cables, engines, tanks, offshore rigs and platforms acting within the harshest salt-water environments benefit from products including SACI® corrosion inhibitors for long-term protection.
Long term protection of metal parts with penetrating and self-healing properties.	Can be used over the weld and sharp-edged areas Compatible with most paints, plastics, non-ferrous metal and other surface coatings.
Thixotropic in nature does not drip or run.	This also allows ease of overhead application without any primary or secondary sagging.

 

Also, this can be applied to other areas where presently grease is applied, and it will improve Rust Protection properties and provide lubrication too.

 

• Door Latch
• Middle door hinge
• Hinge at the backside of the car
• Fuel lid cover hinge

Areas of application:

 

After taking extensive tests, they implemented the above product to provide enhanced metal rust protection or Steel Rust Protection to the vehicles serviced at their service stations. Over 100,000 cars per month are now serviced using Nox Rust® 7703 WJ adding to the extension of the corrosion-free life of the serviced vehicles.
