Overview
In commercial and industrial applications, Termin-8r® is highly effective in protecting electronic surfaces, connectors, plugs, sockets and ABS cables from rust. The deep penetrating formulation dissolves oxides of corrosion on contact resulting in rapid free up of seized metal parts including hinges, bolts and lug nuts. The lubricating characteristics are extremely successful in rolling doors, chains, pulleys and fifth wheel springs and rails.
The same properties that allow Termin-8R® to stop electrolysis makes it ideal for treating electrical connections and equipment. Spray it on power sources, antenna bases, micro switches, pins and connectors and sockets to prevent corrosive buildup or moisture contamination. With a dielectric of nearly 40,000 volts, Termin-8R® can be applied to control panels, circuit boards and switches, and electric motors.
When applied to existing corrosion, Termin-8R® quickly penetrates the oxidation to reach deep into the corrosion cell where it chases off moisture. It then lays down an ultra thin barrier that prevents further oxidation for a year or more, depending upon its exposure to the environment, elements and abrasion.
How it works
TERMIN-8R® – HOW IT WORKS:
Corrosion is nature’s way of converting metal back to its natural state as an IRON OXIDE. Corrosion will occur in the presence of oxygen and an electrolyte such as water, salt water and acids, in liquid or atmospheric forms. There are two practical ways to address corrosion, application of a Barrier Coating or application of Fluid Thin Film Coatings (FTFC).
Barrier Coatings which are generally wax or tar based will cover metal surfaces to prevent corrosion of exposed metal. Barrier Coatings cannot stop corrosion unless the oxidation is removed from the metal surface and will trap moisture or other electrolytes on the metal surface permitting the corrosion cell to continue the oxidation process. Barrier Coatings do not penetrate well and do not function effectively in high or low temperatures where they can melt and drip or alternately become brittle and crack.
Termin-8R® uses Fluid Thin Film Coating (FTFC) technology to stop oxidation and prevent further occurrence of the corrosion process. Termin-8R®’s FTFC technology allows it to creep into every nook and cavity, through seams, lap joints, rivets etc. providing superior surface penetration and displacing all moisture and other electrolytes which it encounters.
Termin-8R®’s unique formulation contains oxygen scavengers and bio-degradable cleaning agents that AGGRESSIVELY lift dust, dirt, grime and surface contaminants to allow Termin-8R® to attach “ionically” with metal forming a polar bond. The corrosion oxide is removed by Termin-8R®’s unique ingredients that separate oxides from the surface of metals. Termin-8R®’s FTFC technology contains an outstanding Inhibitor Package that provides the needed rust and corrosion protection that continues to prevent further oxidation.
The same properties that allow Termin-8R® to stop electrolysis make it ideal for treating electrical connections and equipment. With a dielectric of nearly 40,000 volts, Termin-8R® can safely be applied to control panels, circuit boards and switches, and electric motors for improved current flow.
Termin-8R®’s high tech formulation is low in VOC’s resulting in long lasting protection with no adverse impact on sensitive components containing silicone, plastics or rubber.
