Ferrosol

Ferrosol is safe to use in automotive body shops where silicone-containing fluids cause paint defects.

Heavy industrial uses such a winches, chains and load bearing pivots and unions can be lubricated easily with Ferrosol; these high stress applications are historically deemed inappropriate for other penetrative lubricants.

Ferrosol will continue to lubricate even when the visible oil film has gone.

Ferrosol contains no silicone, ptfe, molybdenum disulphide, or chlorinated solvents.

Packaged in 500ml aerosol.

In 4-Ball Wear Tests carried out by Tribologic Ltd of Leeds University Ferrosol was proven to provide far greater levels of protection than the market leading competitor.

Here we see side-by-side the actual balls used in the testing. The left ball was lubricated by the competitor, the right by Ferrosol. The difference in wear spots shows the huge benefit in using Ferrosol to lubricate and protect moving parts.

Ferrosol also provides greater levels of corrosion protection. Here the salt-spray trial results are shown after 24 hours.

Ferrosol displaces water:

Look carefully at this steel panel beneath the standing water corrosion has begun to occur. Three drops of Ferrosol are made onto the water’s surface. Ferrosol rapidly pushes aside the standing water.

After 72 hours the protected site shows the level of protection established compared to those areas where the wateer remained.

How to Apply:

Ferrosol should be applied liberally to surfaces contaminated by water. The initial displacement occurs rapidly. The residual Ferrosol film will provide excellent anti-corrosion properties and can be easily removed by mild solvents at a later date if necessary. Isolate electrical equipment or components before treatment.

Ferrosol can be used to clean gums, adhesive materials, wax and tar from many surfaces including most automotive finishes. The product should be applied to offending marks, left for 10-20 seconds and removed gently with a soft cotton cloth.

For use as a metal working lubricant Ferrosol should be applied frequently to the work piece and tool. To lubricate apply liberally and allow to penetrate.

To undo rusted and frozen components, Ferrosol should be allowed to soak in for a few minutes. Rusted nuts and bolts should have a tightening force applied before undoing as this will “crack” the rusted interface.

Always follow equipment manufacturer’s lubrication advice when lubricating equipment and machinery.
