3. Product Overview and Features

The CRC SP-350 Corrosion Inhibitor is a high-performance lubricant designed for long-term protection of metal components. It forms a protective film that prevents rust and corrosion, particularly in indoor storage environments.

Key Features:

• Superior lubrication and corrosion prevention for metal surfaces.
• Effective for components and assemblies stored indoors.
• Provides protection for up to two years.
• Evaporates slowly, ensuring sustained protection.
• Facilitates easy start-up of stored equipment by preventing rust and providing initial lubrication.

4. Applications

CRC SP-350 is suitable for a variety of indoor applications requiring long-term corrosion protection and lubrication:

• Precision machine surfaces.
• Protective coating for assemblies during storage or transport.
• Stored machinery requiring start-up lubrication.
• General metal components susceptible to rust in indoor environments.

5. Preparation and Application Instructions

5.1 Preparation:

1. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
2. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, eye protection, and face protection.
3. Clean the metal surfaces thoroughly to remove any existing rust, dirt, grease, or moisture. A clean, dry surface ensures optimal adhesion and protection.
4. Shake the pail gently if there's any indication of separation, though this product is typically stable.

5.2 Application:

CRC SP-350 can be applied by dipping, brushing, or spraying (if transferred to a suitable spray device).

1. Dipping: Immerse the component completely into the SP-350 liquid. Allow excess to drip off.
2. Brushing: Apply an even coat to the metal surface using a brush. Ensure full coverage.
3. Spraying: If using a spray device, apply a uniform, thin film over the entire surface. Avoid over-application.
4. Allow the product to dry or set as needed. The slow evaporation rate ensures a lasting protective film.

6. Storage and Disposal

6.1 Storage:

• Store in a cool, well-ventilated area.
• Keep container tightly closed when not in use.
• Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and other ignition sources.
• Store locked up, out of reach of children and unauthorized personnel.

6.2 Disposal:

Dispose of contents and container in accordance with all applicable local, regional, national, and international regulations. Consult local authorities for proper disposal methods for hazardous waste.

7. Specifications

8. Troubleshooting

As a corrosion inhibitor and lubricant, troubleshooting typically involves ensuring proper application and storage. If issues arise, consider the following:

• Inadequate Protection: Ensure surfaces were clean and dry before application. Verify that a sufficient, even film was applied. Reapply if necessary.
• Product Separation: While uncommon, if the product appears separated, gently stir or agitate the pail to ensure homogeneity before use.
• Application Difficulties: If brushing or dipping is difficult due to viscosity, ensure the product is stored at recommended temperatures. Do not dilute unless specified by the manufacturer.
