Description
Castrol SafeCoat™ DW 18 VC is a high quality corrosion preventive with dewatering properties, specifically formulated
based on a low volatile solvent in order to comply with the today’s VOC-legislation. The solvent, after evaporation, leaves a
thin oily to greasy protective film.
Application
SafeCoat DW 18 VC rapidly removes water from components subsequent to electroplating processes, after machining
using soluble cutting fluids, or parts that have been washed or mass vibratory finished.
The thin residual film provides effective short to medium term protection against corrosion during intermediate storage or
transportation of parts and components.
Advantages
Reliable corrosion protection – helps reducing scrap rate and improves parts quality
High coverage – economical in use, helps reducing consumption
Efficient water displacement and penetration as well as high stability against acidic and alkaline contaminations
enables long bath-life – helps increasing productivity through reducing downtime and maintenance cost
Suppresses fingerprints – protects handled parts from fingerprint corrosion
Environmentally responsible formulation:
– Based on low aromatic, mild odour, high flash point solvent – provides a safer working environment and
improves operator acceptance
– EC Solvent Directive (1999/13/EC) – solvent is not classified as a volatile organic compound (VOC) at 20 °C
– Free of heavy metals, such as Barium – reduces waste disposal costs
