WADIS 24/60 1L M Water-Displacing Compound

WADIS 24/60 1L M is a water-displacing and protective compound supplied in a one-litre metal container. It is intended to displace residual water and humidity while depositing a thin, translucent and soft film on the treated surface.

This SOCOMORE WADIS 24/60 package is available through RIO Middle East’s range of anticorrosion protection products.

Three Functions in One Treatment

The manufacturer describes WADIS 24/60 as performing three connected functions:

1. Displacing water and humidity from the treated surface.
2. Depositing a thin water-repellent protective film.
3. Providing lubricating properties for specified industrial operations.

The resulting film should not be described as permanent corrosion protection. Its effective duration depends on the protected metal, surrounding atmosphere, exposure and storage conditions.

Verified Product Information

These values are taken from manufacturer documentation and may be revised. Confirm the current TDS and the product label before use.

Where May WADIS 24/60 Be Considered?

The WADIS 24/60 water-displacing lubricant is described for industrial processes in which residual water or humidity must be displaced from suitable components.

Manufacturer-listed uses include:

• Displacing rinsing water after surface-treatment processes
• Temporary corrosion protection during selected production stages
• Protection of suitable parts, plates, assemblies and tools
• Maintenance of selected aircraft cells, engines and equipment
• Specified machining and shallow-forming operations
• Selected electrical switchgear and control-gear maintenance

Use as a corrosion protection product for aircraft parts must follow the relevant maintenance documentation and approval reference.

Understanding the Protective Film

WADIS 24/60 deposits a translucent, soft and slightly greasy film. According to the manufacturer, this film may allow inspection operations to be performed without removing it first.

Successive applications are not described as cumulative. A later application dissolves the previous layer before forming a replacement film.

This water-repellent protective film is also described as compatible with mineral oils. Compatibility with the complete process, lubricant and substrate should still be confirmed before use.

How Long Does the Protection Last?

SOCOMORE states that protection duration depends on the metal and its environment. Its TDS gives the following indicative periods:

• Up to two years for indoor storage
• Up to six months for outdoor storage
• Fifteen days or less in aggressive unsheltered environments

Aggressive conditions may include sea fog, continuous rain, persistent humidity or an acidic atmosphere. These periods are not guarantees and should not replace periodic inspection of the protected component.

Where longer protection is required, the manufacturer advises selecting a compatible long-term protective system.

Application and Removal Information

The manufacturer lists application by:

• Brush
• Wipe
• Immersion
• Manual spray
• Automatic spray installation
• Pressurised spray equipment

The selected method must follow the current process documentation. Shake or mixing requirements, bath control and any dilution should be taken directly from the latest TDS.

The manufacturer identifies suitable cleaners from its SYNCLAIR, HYSO, SOCOSOLV and DIESTONE ranges for removal. Product and substrate compatibility must be confirmed before cleaning.

Composition and Compatibility Notes

The manufacturer states that the product is free from:

• Boron
• Silicone
• Barium

WADIS 24/60 is not compatible with oxygen or oxidising agents. It should be stored and handled according to the current SDS, with appropriate ventilation and control of ignition and heat sources.

“Free from boron, silicone and barium” should not be interpreted as meaning that the product is hazard-free.

Approval References

The current Technical Data Sheet contains specific approval and conformity references, including examples such as:

• Airbus ABP 1-4046 and AIMS 09-00-002
• Airbus maintenance code 12ABE2 / CML 15-004
• Airbus Helicopters ECA 3071 / IF-MA 338
• CFM International CP 5073
• GE C02-025
• IAE/V2500 CoMat 101-143
• NATO C-634
• Pratt & Whitney SPMC 124-5

An approval only applies within the scope and revision of its referenced document. Confirm the current specification before associating the product with a particular aircraft, engine or maintenance process.
