RUST-X VCI Jelly is a viscous gel, which can be applied with a brush. The compound is highly active against corrosion under the most damaging environmental conditions and provides long-term corrosion protection to the parts on which it is applied. The liquid is transparent / light brown upon application and does not darken the parts.

The VCI Liquid Jelly doesn’t solidify even after years of application. This therefore does not cause any dimensional changes on the part. The VCI Jelly is compatible with Engine, Hydraulic and Transmission fluids and does not need to be removed when the parts on which it is applied have to be assembled for Gear Boxes or Engines.

The Film is Self-Healing, which means that in an event of a scratch the fluid from the sides flows to rebuild the film over time with its displacing action. The VCI Liquid Jelly is tacky and stays on the surface and is not easily removed by handling and re-handling.

Alkalinity Reserve: The VCI Jelly molecules are highly hydrophobic and resist moisture or water to permeate through the formed layer hence protecting the metal from corrosion. The VCI Jelly is highly active against acidic fumes and provides excellent corrosion protection in the acidic environments such as pickling areas or sea humidity. The property of high alkalinity reserve allows for a heavy buffer against acidic fumes.

This can be used to protect structures, chemical plants and equipment that are intended for outdoor storage or are located in open areas and need protection. These can also be used to protection unpacked refinery equipment oil pipeline equipment and valves, off shore refinery parts which are not painted or coated and require protection or during the storage while commissioning, for lay-up during shut downs and also on heat exchangers, windmills and automotive. Due to a higher drop point of the VCI Liquid Jelly it can be used on the chemical plant and equipment which operates at elevated temperatures.

This can also be used to protect Defense Equipment and installations where extreme climatic conditions may have detrimental effect on the properties of the equipment e.g. on cannons, guns, artillery, launch vehicles etc. It can be applied on machined surfaces of automotive equipment such as Transmissions, Gear Boxes, Engine Blocks, Flywheels, Hydraulic Pistons or other machined and unpainted surfaces to keep them from corrosion during storage and transportation.

All RUST-X rust preventive oils are Barium & Heavy Metal Free.

Features

• Easy to use by brush or hand application.
• Transparent upon application
• Liquid displaceable film, which does not dry and hence does not cause physical change in part dimensions.
• Protects parts for upto 5 years in packed condition in open areas and upto 10 years indoors
• Highly hydrophobic and water displacing
• High Alkalinity Reserve
• Self-healing & self-lubricating
• Does not affect paint or coatings
• Can also be used in threaded areas and prevents water penetration and thread locking Compatible with Engine and Transmission Lubricants and need not be removed during assembly
• Environment Friendly

Applications

• This can be used to protect structures, chemical plants and equipment that are intended for outdoor storage located in open areas and need protection.
• These can also be used to protection unpacked refinery equipment oil pipeline equipment and valves, off shore refinery parts which are not painted or coated and require protection or during the storage while commissioning, for lay-up during shut downs and also on heat exchangers, windmills and automotive.
• Can be used on the chemical plant and equipment which operates at elevated temperatures.
• This can also be used to protect Defense Equipment and installations
• It can be applied on machined surfaces of automotive equipment.

Usage

Clean the area to be protected using a cloth or RUST-X 40 spray.

Apply the RUST-X Liquid Jelly with a brush on the area to be protected. Ensure that all the area gets covered evenly with the jelly.
