Anticorrosives
Metallic parts, assembled in machinery or in diverse devices, must be protected against corrosion, particularly when they are exposed directly to humidity, rain or snow. Besides the numerous materials used for wrapping metallic parts, in many cases there is a need to apply a protective coating directly on the metal surface. The surface coating must give the possibility of being removed or washed by means of solvents.
Waxes work as an excellent barrier against humidity, so they are very effective in protection systems against corrosion. For developing specific protection properties, they can be used in formulations with bituminous compounds, base oils or other corrosion inhibitors.
Multiceras has developed diverse products for this application, which have demonstrated an excellent performance as anticorrosive coatings. These products can be utilized alone or in combination with some other specialty materials

Notes:
Melting point is determined in all cases by the ASTM D127 method. Penetration (dmm) is measured by the ASTM D937 method in case of the 2003 and 2005 waxes, and by ASTM D1321 for 2055 and 2075 products.
