RP-5001
A Safe Water Soluble Rust Preventative, Rapid Dryer, Solvent and Detergent
RP-5001 is an extremely versatile material for use in many industries and possesses many useful properties in countless applications. Wherever water is used in contact with steel, RP-5001 can be used. Where water is considered harmful, it can be made safe, rust proof and useful. RP-5001 is a protective material recommended for use on iron, steel, and electroplated coatings such as cadmium, zinc, tin, nickel or chrome.
RP-5001 is a concentrated colorless solution that you add to water in recommended proportions. The resulting solution will passivate steel surfaces due to the presence of selected oxidizing ions and non-ionic surfactants. Parts dipped in a RP-5001 solution will, after drying, be protected or inhibited against corrosion. A few examples where such a dip is required is in the final rinse after plating, cleaning, pickling, phosphating, black oxidizing, tumbling, vapor blasting, wet grinding, heat treating or general machine shop use between operations.
Water evaporates almost immediately from a metal surface after withdrawing from a dip in warm RP-5001. This extremely fast drying occurs because of the non-ionics present which reduce surface tension to a remarkable degree and accelerate the shedding of water from all surfaces. The remaining invisible, dry, non-oily film that is nonmeasurable will inhibit against rust or corrosion. The properties of the metal or plated surface are unchanged and retain their original luster or brightness.
RP-5001 is a good solvent, combining wetting and detergent properties. Where washing of heat-treated parts quenched from a salt bath into oil is a problem, a soak in warm RP-5001 completely removes all oil and salts and protects the parts from rust. The detergent properties are an advantage in removing light oil films from metals and preventing fingerprint stains. RP-5001 in these instances will replace costly solvent cleaners or harsh alkali cleaners. Wash off if used anywhere before plating. RP-5001 will penetrate into the deepest crevices of any odd shaped piece and give complete protection. Even parts that are partly oily and partly unprotected can be dipped all over to insure overall protection.
In practically all cases, painting or lacquering can be done without removing the RP-5001 film. However, in any case the film comes off instantly by rinsing in water if it interferes.
RP-5001 is a completely safe material under all operating conditions. Tests conducted against other materials proved that RP-5001 is faster, better and more economical.
RP-5001 is an odorless, neutral, non-toxic and stable material. It is non-inflammable, non-oily, non-tacky and invisible when dry. RP-5001 works equally well in hard or soft water and works hot or cold.
Plain steel tanks are all that is needed for containers. RP-5001 will prevent the tank from rusting and water stays cleaner as long as it is used. A wide operating range makes it unnecessary for strict control as RP-5001 is effective at all temperatures from 70oF and upwards to 180oF. A little bit goes a long way as practically all operations require only 2 to 4% and, as a rinse, only 0.1%.
Try to keep your RP-5001 solution free from contamination as possible. It cannot be mixed with any acids and will tolerate only very slight amounts of caustic or alkalis.
RP-5001 is not intended for use as a high temperature rust preventive but will stand up well under high humidity provided there is no run-off to carry away the film. It is suitable for dipping or spraying or can be used as a swab in cleaning difficult to dip pieces or parts covered with hard to remove oils, grease or soils. RP-5001 protects against rust on indoor applications and is not intended for use on items exposed to severe weather conditions.
Use RP-5001 wherever you use water. Water becomes more valuable and useful and where water is considered harmful, RP-5001 is safe.
