A new water‐displacing, corrosion preventive compound

Numerous dewatering fluids have been developed and marketed as ‘Jack‐of‐all‐trades’ products. In general terms these products are variations on the tried and tested lanolin in white spirit formulation. A new dewatering, anti‐corrosion product has now been successfully developed and marketed which gives much improved properties over the traditional types. In order to improve the performance of the fluid, especially as regards water displacement, the new fluid contains a blend of anti‐corrosion, film‐forming, dewatering and emulsifying agents in a low carbonising base fluid. The resultant fluid meets the requirements laid down in DEF. STAN. 68–10/2, PX‐24, NATO C‐634 for a ‘corrosion preventive compound, water‐displacing’.
