About Seller: Preventing Corrosion: Factors to Consider When Choosing the Right Product: Corrosion, rust, and oxidation have been persistent issues since ancient times. The red soil found in states like Georgia and Oklahoma is a result of iron oxides, or rust, formed when iron, oxygen, and water combine. Throughout history, man has sought to combat rust by using corrosion preventative compounds, such as animal fats and coal/oil tars, to create a barrier against water. As technology advanced, products like Cosmoline, a waxy hydrocarbon mixture, were developed to protect metal surfaces, with origins dating back to ancient Egyptian mummification practices. In today's market, there is a wide array of corrosion preventative products available, each with unique benefits and applications. When deciding on the right product for your needs, factors to consider include the type of metal being protected, environmental conditions, desired length of protection, solvent base preference, type of coating/film, and level of water displacement. Look for products with a high specific gravity above 1.0 for superior water displacement and corrosion prevention. Conduct thorough research to identify the best product that meets your specific requirements.
