Cools corrosion March 1st 2009 Newark Electric Motors
specialises in the supply, maintenance
and repair of electric motors,
gearboxes and pumps. The company
relies on Loctite products and finds
Freeze and Release particularly useful
when dealing with corroded parts.
Once the parts have been cleaned
of loose dirt and rust, Freeze and
Release is applied from the can. An
application of between 5 and 10
seconds will instantly chill seized and
rusted parts to -43°C. This shockfreeze
effect produces a differential
thermal contraction that creates
microscopic cracks in the layer of rust.
This allows the lubricant in the spray
to wick directly into the rust. The
assembly can be easily dismantled
after just one to two minutes. More articles from Henkel Ltd: |
