Cortec® recently developed EcoAir® Tool & Die Rust Preventative to meet the needs of mold, tool, and die manufacturers and end users. This effective liquid rust preventative comes in a non-flammable spray can that makes it easier to use than traditional greases and shipping oils employed to protect tooling assets and all tool steels during shipping, storage, and transport. It is also relatively safer to store than traditional highly flammable aerosols.
EcoAir Tool & Die Rust Preventative was sprayed on the internal surfaces of the mold maker’s two-cavity automotive interior P20 plastic-injection mold prior to shipment. This provided corrosion protection, as well as water displacement and cleaning properties for any process-related fluids remaining on the mold.
The mold successfully reached the European client with no corrosion issues at all. The client was pleased that EcoAir Tool & Die Rust Preventative did not need to be cleaned off the mold. The client requested that all molds be shipped in the same manner going forward. In addition to achieving a successful delivery, the U.S. mold maker also benefited by cutting the tooling protection costs approximately in half of what is typically incurred when using traditional greases and oils. Unlike EcoAir® Tool & Die Rust Preventative, these traditional rust preventatives must be cleaned off the mold with solvent-based removers. This increases labor and hazardous waste disposal costs, while submitting workers to additional health concerns.
EcoAir Tool & Die Rust Preventative is specifically designed for all similar tool and die applications and can also be used by anyone* that wants to:
- Clean grease, oils, adhesives, and water deposits off metal surfaces
- Displace moisture and protect metal surfaces from corrosion
- Preserve all types of carbon or alloy-based steel tooling, molds, fixtures, and dies long-term up to 24 months indoors
