Anti-Corrosion Treatment
FFECT1VE anti-corrosion and antimoisture treatment of electrical equipment is claimed for CRC 2.26 which is now distributed in the United Kingdom by Hellermann Ltd., Crawley, Sussex.
As a result of its low surface tension, CRC 2.26 applied to any metal will penetrate pores, cracks and holes and displace all absorbed moisture, and afterwards form a film on the surface to prevent further contamination. As this film does not become brittle or crack, it is a good corrosion inhibitor.
