Castrol Rustilo 181 is a hydrocarbon solvent containing a mixture of high performance corrosion inhibitors that is ideal for corrosion protection under even the most severe conditions. After evaporation, Castrol Rustilo 181 leaves a pale brown, tough, plastic-like film which is water repellent. This solvent-deposited, oily film provides reliable indoor protection and enables industrial and manufacturing operations to maintain the integrity of their components over time. It is particularly suited to ferrous metals, including precision parts, tools, and assemblies that need protection against humidity and corrosion.
The product’s ease of application, rapid drying time, and compatibility with a wide range of materials make it ideal for sectors such as general engineering, component manufacturing, automotive parts storage, and heavy machinery production. Once applied, it leaves a light, oily film that offers a protective barrier without compromising downstream processing or assembly. It is removed simply, using a petroleum solvent or alkaline process cleaner.
Rustilo 181's formulation complies with various corrosion resistance tests, and is ideal for manufacturers who need dependable protection for metal parts stored indoors under varying temperature and humidity conditions.
