Title: Anti-Corrosion Formula ACF-50
Post by: Lanky94 on June 22, 2018, 06:53:37 PM
Hi all.

I have been using this for ages now, much like you guys uses corrosion X.

https://learchem.com/products/acf-50.html

Seems very good. I use it bearings (its a lubricant as well) and on all services that do not require grease.

Thoughts......? Anyone else use it?

There are lots of post on ACF-50 and Corrosion-x on the aviation web sites.  They fog the whole fuselage to keep corrosion in check.   Here is a story that claims that both products are pretty interchangeable for aviation purposes.

I am wondering if either of these products would be an improvement over carnauba wax for treating spools before filling.

Lear also has a anti corrosion thin film product marketed for marine use  (Corrosion Block).   Maybe this stuff could be useful for spools and for managing corrosion on screw holes instead of grease?

Lots of thin film products out there,  not a lot of data from the manufacturer for the consumer.
 
[Climbing up on soapbox]  Always check the MSDS before using a new product.  Screw up a reel,  buy a new reel.   Screw up your lungs, liver or brain...

I was wondering  if bee wax would be good to protect spools from corrosion, it's used on mold application
