Tectyl 164

Tectyl 164 Black Multi-Purpose Corrosion Inhibitor Compound for Long-Term Storage and Shipping with UV Protection

Tectyl 164 is a high-quality, multi-purpose corrosion inhibitor compound formulated to provide significant protection against the effects of moisture and corrosion in long-term storage or shipping for a wide range of applications in the industrial, automotive industry.
This premium corrosion preventive compound has undergone rigorous testing through prolonged exposure to substantial moisture and salt-laden, high-humidity environments to ensure maximized defense under challenging environmental conditions.

Tectyl 164 provides enduring corrosive protection for machinery, engine blocks, and other parts in long-term indoor/outdoor storage as well as during domestic and international shipments.
This powerful long-term rust preventive compound will ultimately dry to form a resilient, firm, and flexible, wax-like black film coating that is non-tacky and provides extensive corrosion resistance within very challenging corrosive environments at a notably low dry film thickness.

Tectyl 164 is an exceptional multi-use, corrosion preventive compound coating ultimately designed to provide your valuable steel components with phenomenal long-term corrosion protection and durability when subjected to even the harshest of environments.

Product Uses:

• Black, Wax-Like, Multi-Use Corrosion Resistant film coating designed for maximum protection against moisture, weathering, and corrosion for a variety of steel and wood substrates in a wide range of applications whether industrial or automotive.
• Often used effectively for the external protection of industrial machine parts during long or short-term, domestic, and international shipments.
• Firm and flexible wax film protects the engine compartment ignition wiring, battery post, cowling seams, and other metal parts from corrosion and rust.
• Black, wax-like film coating is non-tacky, allowing for simplified application and maintenance, while preserving surface cleanliness by preventing contaminant build-up from dirt, dust, and debris.
• Underwent intense accelerated corrosion testing where coated steel surfaces withstood upwards of 1000 Hours of direct exposure to harsh salt/moisture-laden atmospheres and elevated, high humidity environments without any corrosion, ensuring long-lasting and durable protection.
• Can be removed with mineral spirits or a similar petroleum solvent, hot alkaline wash, or low-pressure steam.

Product Performance:

• When applied at the recommended wet film thickness of 4 mils over the surface profile, it will deposit the recommended dry film thickness of 2 mils.
• Dry to touch in 1.5 hours and completely cured after 16-24 hours.
• Covers 409 square feet per gallon when applied at the recommended film thickness.
• Can provide up to 2 years of protection of outdoor storage and 3 years of indoor storage on metal and wood substrates at the recommended dry film thickness.

Application Equipment Recommendations: 

• Pumps with ratios of 15:1 or greater are advised for efficient use of container content.
• Tungsten Carbide Nozzles Tip in the spray gun is recommended. (.015" to .019" tip orifice size)
• High Pressure Fluid Hose of no less than 3/8 in. diameters is suggested for less than 50 ft. of material hose.
• Low Ratio pumps (15-30:1): operate through 100 ft. of 1/2 in & 50 ft. of 3/8 in. hose for a max of 150 ft.
• High Ratio pumps (>30:1): operate through 200 ft. of 1/2 in & 50 ft. of 3/8 in. hose for a max of 250 ft. 
• Can also be applied via brush, dip, or flow coat.
