Exxon Rust-Ban 392

The RUST-BAN line of rust preventives consists of two coatings designed for semi-permanent protection of metal surfaces, primarily in industrial applications.

RUST-BAN 392 is a solvent cut-back rust preventive. These petroleum-based products are non-drying, as contrasted to paint products, which leave a hard film. In addition, RUST-BAN offers the advantages of being easy to apply, easy to remove, and low in cost compared to many paint-type coatings. Rust preventives are not rust removers. They should be applied only to clean surfaces that are free of dirt, grease, oil, moisture, and rust.

Unless testing proves them to be compatible with such materials, petroleum-base rust preventives should not be applied to non-metallic parts such as those fabricated of rubber, cork, paper, leather, fabric, or plastics. Some of these materials may swell, soften, or otherwise be affected.

Features and Benefits

The RUST-BAN products have been designed to provide outstanding protection of metal surfaces subjected to mild conditions. They leave non-drying semi-permanent films that are not only easy to apply but easy to remove.

The RUST-BAN products offer the following benefits:

• Outstanding protection of exterior and interior surfaces of a wide range of equipment
• Provide semi-permanent non-drying protective films
• Easy to apply and remove
• Low cost

Applications

RUST-BAN 392 is a solvent-cutback rust preventive that leaves a translucent to semi-transparent protective film after the evaporation of the petroleum solvent. It is recommended for indoor storage of parts under mild conditions, parts waiting assembly, items well packed for shipment and parts in process (RUST-BAN 392 displaces soluble oil). It can also be used as a penetrating fluid.
