Ardrox 396/1 E8 is a potent solvent-based paint remover designed for aerospace and industrial applications. It effectively strips epoxy, polyurethane, and other coatings from metal surfaces. Engineered to penetrate multiple layers of paint, it breaks down adhesion for easy removal. Its rapid action speeds up the paint stripping process, reducing downtime and enhancing efficiency in maintenance and overhaul operations. Compatible with a wide range of metal substrates, Ardrox 396/1 E8 ensures versatile and reliable performance.

Ardrox 396/1 E14 is a potent solvent-based paint remover for aerospace and industrial use. It efficiently strips epoxy, polyurethane, and other coatings from metal surfaces. Designed with a powerful chemical composition, it penetrates paint layers, breaking adhesion for easy removal. Its fast-acting formula reduces time and effort in paint stripping tasks, boosting productivity in maintenance and overhaul operations. Compatible with various metal substrates found in aerospace and industrial settings, Ardrox 396/1 E14 ensures versatile and effective performance.

Ardrox 3966 serves as a water-displacing solution for temporary corrosion prevention. Comprising a blend of surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and mineral oils, Ardrox 3966 exhibits excellent spreading and penetrating characteristics. It includes a volatile solvent, which, upon evaporation, leaves behind a thin oil film. This film displaces water from the surface, offering temporary protection to the metal. Application of Ardrox 3966 can be carried out using conventional methods such as brushing, dipping, spraying, or swabbing. For dipping, tanks should be designed with a sloping or conical bottom to facilitate the runoff of accumulated water during use. Immersion times typically range from 2 to 3 minutes, not exceeding 5 minutes. Agitation during dipping processes should be avoided to prevent emulsification of displaced water.

Ardrox 3705 is a water-based inhibitor added to rinse water tanks to prevent flash rusting of ferrous components. It protects ferrous parts in indoor storage for about eight weeks under favorable conditions. Used at 1 to 4% volume/volume in water (equivalent to 10 to 40 liters per 1000 liters of washing solution), Ardrox 3705 operates effectively at temperatures from ambient to 90°C. Components are submerged in the solution for up to two minutes before air-drying.

Ardrox 3140 is a dark brown, viscous liquid formulated with film-forming agents, antioxidants, and corrosion inhibitors in a refined hydrocarbon solvent base. It offers long-term protection for materials, sub-assemblies, and finished components stored or used in corrosive environments, especially in high humidity or tropical climates. While not resistant to severe mechanical abrasion, fully cured coatings withstand normal handling. It’s ideal for protecting structural sections and panelled areas of transportation vehicles, preferably as part of a water removal and protection process, starting with Ardrox 3961 or 3962, followed by Ardrox 3140 application for extended protection.

Ardrox 311 is a viscous mineral oil fortified with corrosion and oxidation inhibitors, offering long-term protection for metal components, especially in high humidity environments. It’s ideal for preserving machine guns, small arms, internal combustion engines, bearings, and various metal parts across a temperature range starting from -18°C. This oil shows excellent resistance to oxidation at high temperatures, even in the presence of copper, suitable for machinery operating under heat stress. However, it’s not recommended for outdoor exposure in heavy rain; for such conditions, Ardrox 3140 is preferable. You can apply Ardrox 311 using methods like dipping, flushing, spraying, or brushing. Ensure surfaces are clean and dry before application to maximize corrosion protection.

Ardrox AV 100D is a heavy-duty, thixotropic compound formulated to prevent corrosion in demanding airframe environments. It works effectively on both painted and unpainted surfaces and can be applied over Ardrox AV8, a penetrating water-displacing corrosion inhibiting compound (CIC). You can apply Ardrox AV100D using rolling, brushing, or spraying methods, with airless application equipment preferred for best results. Ensure the coating is applied with a wet thickness ranging from 120 to 300 µm (4.7 to 12 mils) for optimal protection.
