FAQs
Is this product suitable for household use?
This product is formulated for professional use and may be too potent or require specific handling beyond typical household applications. It is best suited for industrial, automotive, or mechanical repair environments.
How long should I let the fluid penetrate?
For light rust, a few minutes may suffice. For heavily seized or corroded parts, it is recommended to let the fluid penetrate for 15-30 minutes, or even overnight, reapplying as needed.
Can I use this on painted surfaces?
While it is designed for metal, it is advisable to test on an inconspicuous area first, as it may affect certain types of paint or finishes. Avoid direct, prolonged contact with painted surfaces if possible.
What safety precautions should I take?
Always use in a well-ventilated area. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves and eye protection. Avoid breathing the spray mist. Refer to the product's safety data sheet for detailed information.
How should I dispose of the empty can?
Dispose of the can according to local regulations for aerosol products. Do not puncture or incinerate the can, even after use, as it may contain residual propellant.
Does this lubricant have any lubricating properties?
Its primary function is to remove rust and corrosion and penetrate seized parts. While it may provide some temporary lubrication, it is not a dedicated lubricant for long-term use.
Troubleshooting
Spray nozzle is clogged.
Remove the nozzle and soak it in a suitable solvent (e.g., mineral spirits), then clear with a fine pin. Ensure the can's valve is clear before reattaching.
Product is not penetrating effectively.
Ensure the can was shaken thoroughly. For very heavy corrosion, multiple applications or longer soaking times may be required. Ensure even coverage on the affected area.
Seized part still won't move.
Allow more time for penetration. Gently tap the seized area with a hammer to help break up the corrosion. Reapply the penetrating fluid. Avoid excessive force that could break the part.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This product is ready to use directly from the can. Ensure the surface to be treated is free from loose debris. Shake the aerosol can well before each use. Hold the can upright and spray directly onto the rusted or corroded area from a distance of 15-25 cm. For best results, allow the product to penetrate for several minutes (or longer for heavily corroded parts) before attempting to loosen the seized component. Compatibility is primarily with metal surfaces. Store the can in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat, sparks, and open flames. Do not puncture or incinerate the can, even when empty.
