CREVICE PENETRANT SEALANT (CLEAR)
AEROSOL PRODUCT INFORMATION

Advantages

RUSTOPAK® CREVICE PENETRANT SEALANT is a crevice penetrant which protects metal crevices against the formation of Crevice Corrosion, where corrosion always starts first, such as roof fastener & truss assemblies, roof sheet overlaps, solar panel mountings, metal fence assemblies, foundation anchor bolts, window and door hinges and frames and plumbing. There are many other applications for RUSTOPAK® CREVICE PENETRANT SEALANT such as internal crevices of vehicle panels, HVAC systems, heavy equipment and solar farms. This product prevents the need to dismantle assets and offers the most practical solution on the market  due to ease of application in aerosol packaging to maximize the product’s penetrating ability and sealing of crevices being treated.

Applications

The air and surface temperature shall be less than 53° C and the weather conditions shall be such that the treated areas shall not be subjected to rain or water contact for a 4 hour period after application.

Ambient temperatures must remain at least 3 C above Dew Point and rising during application. Material should not be applied when the Relative Humidity exceeds 90% or the substrate temperature is higher than 53 C.

The low viscosity crevice penetrating sealant is intended for use as a penetrating sealer for jointed or bolted areas of steel items mentioned above, which are subject to Pack Rust, Bimetallic Corrosion and Differential Aeration Corrosion. Apply into the affected area with the supplied pipe attached to the nozzle of the aerosol can and excess product needs to be wiped off with clean cloth and Mineral Turpentine.

Deposit enough RUSTOPAK® CREAVICE PENETRANT SEALANT to thoroughly wet out crevices or joints. Spray into the upper edge of all joints first, working down the sides of the joint from the top to the bottom, propelling the material into the joint. Moisture will be displaced from the joint (vertical) and should be allowed to exit freely from the bottom of the joint area then wipe off with clean cloth and Mineral Turpentine. NOTE: When spraying into horizontal joints, please ensure that excess product around the joint is wiped clean with clean cloth and Mineral Turpentine.

NOTE: Joint geometries vary widely, and it is not the intent of this Specification to address the application of each joint type. The end user must evaluate individual joint geometries to determine the best method of applying this product to achieve the optimal joint coverage using the basic principles listed above.

RUSTOPAK® CHARACTERISTICS

N

RUSTOPAK® CREVICE PENETRANT SEALANT prevents corrosion in hard to reach places and where multi-metals are assembled using fasteners without the need to dismantling the joint.

N

RUSTOPAK® CREVICE PENETRANT SEALANT prevents multi-metal corrosion by inhibiting the formation of corrosion by its unique formulation.

N

RUSTOPAK® CREVICE PENETRANT SEALANT can be applied to new jointed areas (painted or galvanized) or where crevice corrosion has already occurred.

N

RUSTOPAK® CREVICE PENETRANT SEALANT seeps into any crevice, dispelling moisture and oxygen that causes crevice corrosion.

N

RUSTOPAK® CREVICE PENETRANT SEALANT is an easy to use sealant with proprietary ingredients for a professional and long lasting finish.
