Rust preventives – offering excellent performance
Croda’s rust prevention products provide excellent performance in film forming rust preventive products. Solvent, oil, water based
products and emulsions have been developed employing Croda’s rust preventative range for dewatering fluids and for short, medium
and long-term rust protection.
The flexibility of Croda’s rust preventative range allows for each component to be employed individually to impart rust prevention, or
alternatively, they may be blended with waxes, resins, metal soaps, amines, over-based petroleum sulphonates or esters to provide oils,
soft greases or hard wax films. Croda’s products can be used in many applications, for example:
l Rust preventatives l Hand applied compounds, pastes, fluids and aerosols
l Dewatering fluids l Chain lubricants
l Greases l Mould release oils
l Open gear and wire rope lubricants l Metal forming

Croda’s rust preventative range is soluble in a range of hydrocarbon solvents, green solvents, mineral oils, and esters and may be
emulsified. Demulsification even in the presence of alkaline solutions is also available to the formulator.
Use of Croda’s rust preventative additives can offer significant benefits to the formulator including:
l Option of thin oil, soft grease or hard wax film l Barium free
l Compatible with mineral oil, solvent and water based systems l Non-staining

l Based on renewable resources l Easily removed by industrial cleaners

l Biodegradable
