SELCO SF-950 METAL PROTECTOR

Top-quality corrosion-prevention formula for protect- ing metal parts. In contrast to the usual asphaltic (sticky, heavy and hard-to-remove) substances, SF-950 is a clean, clear, non-sticky film which will not pick up or hold dirt, dust or grit. Easy application by dipping, spraying or brushing. Dries completely within 5 to 10 minutes. Non-flammable. Provides long-lasting protec- tion — up to 18 months — for metal parts or assembled machinery and equipment in production, during over- seas or domestic shipments, or in outdoor storage even in high humidity or in the presence of corrosive envi- ronments.

RUST-INHIBITED GREASE

Provides the utmost in corrosion protection over a tem- perature range of -40°F to +650°F. Resists salt water, acids, corrosive environments and microbiological degradation. The formulation combines the outstand- ing temperature stability of a synthetic grease with that of special anti-rust and extreme-pressure additives for your really tough jobs. SG-300 provides low bearing torque to about -60°F while conversely being highly resistant to sag or thinning since its melting point is above +650T.
