Clean-Away Coatings for Metal
Protect metal parts from corrosion. Also known as rust-inhibiting film, these coatings can be removed with a simple degreaser or mineral spirits.
Wax coatings meet MIL-C-16173 for corrosion-resistant compounds that dry to thin, easily removable films. Grade 4 coatings dry to a nontacky finish that’s suitable for environments exposed to high humidity and chemicals. Grade 2 coatings dry to a slightly tacky, self-healing film that lubricates as it protects.
Coatings in a jug can be dipped, brushed, or sprayed.
Coatings that cannot be sold to the regions listed are restricted by product labeling requirements or exceed local regulatory limits on VOCs (volatile organic compounds).

Low-Odor Abrasion-Resistant Clean-Away Coatings for Metal
These low-odor coatings form a waxy film similar to lube oil, so parts can remain coated for assembly. They can be dipped, brushed, or sprayed onto surfaces and then removed with an alkaline cleaner.

High-Temperature Easy-to-Form Lining Wax Sheets
With a higher softening temperature than standard lining wax sheets, use these with casting and laminate resins that require heat during curing. Flexible enough to conform to angles and bends, lining wax is bendable even at room temperature. Use it as a liner in stamping prototypes and to produce castings of die patterns.
Adhesive-back sheets provide a temporary hold and adhere to most oil-free surfaces.
