    Protect metal parts from corrosion. Also known as rust-inhibiting film, these coatings can be removed with a simple degreaser or mineral spirits.
    Mineral Oil—Mineral oil coatings don’t fully dry, so they leave a tacky film.
    Wax—Wax coatings meet MIL-C-16173 for corrosion-resistant compounds that dry to thin, easily removable films.
    Jug—Coatings in a jug can be dipped, brushed, or sprayed.
    250° F Maximum Temperature—Coating with a maximum temperature of 250° F lubricates as it protects and can be used as a start-up lubricant for stored machinery.
    MIL-C-16173 Grade 2—Grade 2 coatings dry to a slightly tacky, self-healing film that lubricates as it protects.
    MIL-C-16173 Grade 4—Grade 4 coatings dry to a nontacky finish that’s suitable for environments exposed to high humidity and chemicals.
    Cannot Be Sold To—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).
