SOCOPAC 50 S 20L METAL PAIL

CORROSION INHIBITOR SOCOPAC 50S 20L/5,3GAL METAL PAIL is an aircraft corrosion inhibitor designed to provide long-lasting corrosion protection for commercial and military aircraft materials, spare parts and assemblies exposed to unfavourable climatic conditions. After application, it forms an efficient barrier against corrosion agents including water, oxygen, acids, bases and salts from industrial emissions and tropical atmospheres.

SOCOPAC 50S provides long-term protection on materials including aluminium and alloys, steels, light metals such as titanium and magnesium, zinc and galvanized steel, copper and its alloys, and cadmium. It can also be applied without risk of attack on painted surfaces, composite materials, plastics, rubbers, Plexiglas and polycarbonates (non crazing).

Features and Benefits

• Forms an impervious, durable protective film after drying.
• Resistant to temperature differentials, heavy rain, sea air, tropical atmospheres and corrosive industrial atmospheres.
• Medium-hard, wax-like film with a dry-to-the-touch finish.
• Flexible film can absorb slight impacts without damage or crazing.
• Capillary activity and polarity towards the treated surface help prevent deeper scratches from spreading, providing a «self-healing» protection effect.
• Allows protected pieces to be handled even after prolonged storage without loss of the protective value of the SOCOPAC 50S film.
• Dry film is intended to withstand several years outdoors while remaining stable.
• Does not undergo cross linking or polymerisation through exposure to air, sun or heat, allowing removal several years after application.
• Provides pronounced hydrophobic qualities and can efficiently repel water from materials normally exposed to open air.
• Free of harmful solvents, toluene, xylene and chlorinated compounds.

Application Considerations

For materials and parts exposed to humid, enclosed conditions or wide temperature differences, a water-repellent compound such as WADIS 24 should be applied before SOCOPAC 50S. Where a total thickness greater than 50 microns is required, SOCOPAC 25H should be applied before the SOCOPAC 50S coating.
