Fluid film – LiQUIDONTM – products offer powerful corrosion protection for
all metals and superior lubrication for all moving parts. They are long lasting,
thixotropic liquids and gels that have been used for over 55 years in the highly
corrosive marine environment of ships and offshore drilling rigs. More recently
they have been introduced and successfully utilized in the lawn & garden,
aviation and automobile industries, as well as providing an environmentally
friendlier solution for home maintenance. Facilities where they are used include
government, commercial fishing, gas companies, farming, salt, power, and
industrial plants.
Fluid film – LiQUIDONTM – is formulated from specially processed hyper–ionized materials,
highly refined petroleum oils and selected agents to provide corrosion control,
penetration, metal wetting and water displacement. These long lasting products
contain no solvents, will not dry out and will penetrate to the base of all
metals, providing corrosion protection from both natural and industrial
atmospheres. Heavily corroded and/or frozen parts such as nuts, bolts, shafts,
etc. that would normally be damaged during maintenance, can be salvaged by
applying the fluid film – LiQUIDONTM – .

surfaces (MIL–C–23411, Paragraph 3.6). |
Toxicity: |
Non–toxic, LD–50 greater than 3 grams
per kilogram. Non–irritating skin response. Very slight irritation to the
eyes. (Toxicity tests performed according to standard methods by an
independent laboratory). |
Waring: |
LiQUIDON:TM is not
flammable. Contents under pressure. Do not puncture, incinerate or store
above 120°F. Keep from direct sun. |
Spray Nozzle Cleaning: |
Turn can upside down, point in a safe
direction and spray until only propellant escapes. If spray button becomes
clogged during use, pull it from the can and clean it with a fine wire or
needle. Replace the button with a gentle twisting motion, keeping it
pointed in a safe direction. Do not stick pins or other objects into
nozzle tube. |
