PRODUCTS and PROCESSES: PROVIDING INDUSTRY WITH THE MEANS TO COMBAT CORROSION

Abstract

‘Waxolan’ Protective Coating. Steel items are protected from corrosion under simulated tropical humidity conditions (100% relative humidity at 42° to 48°C.) for more than ten days by Waxolan hot‐dip rust preventive. Waxolan is compounded from selected green mineral jellies of high melting point, together with suitable grades of beeswax, into a stiff waxy solid with a melting point of 56° to 65°C. Articles dipped into the molten material acquire a thick, highly corrosion‐resistant coating. Film thickness is variable with the temperature of application, which is preferably between 82° and 90°C.
