FLUID FILM
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS |
If I spray Fluid FilmŪ on
a painted surface, will it harm the paint?
Fluid FilmŪ will not harm
paint. It can be sprayed directly on painted
surfaces without any harmful effects.
Will Fluid FilmŪ adversely
affect plastic or rubber?
No, Fluid FilmŪ has no
adverse effects on plastics or synthetic rubber. On
100% natural rubber, some swelling can occur.
Can I paint over a surface
treated with Fluid FilmŪ?
Because Fluid FilmŪ leaves a
wet, non-drying film and imbeds itself in the pores
of the metal, any surface treated with Fluid
FilmŪ should be wiped down with a good
biodegradable cleaner before painting.
Will Fluid FilmŪ remove
rust?
Fluid FilmŪ is not
formulated to remove rust. However, if applied over
existing rust, it will stop it immediately from
spreading further. Fluid FilmŪ will penetrate
rust and rust scale to the base metal, loosening and
easing in the removal process.
Will Fluid FilmŪ work on
battery terminals?
Fluid FilmŪ is an excellent
way to protect battery terminals. Because Fluid
FilmŪ is non-conductive, make your connections
before applying. The non-drying characteristics of
Fluid FilmŪ will provide long term protection
in this application.
Does Fluid FilmŪ attract
dirt?
Because Fluid FilmŪ remains
wet, it will get an initial dusting upon
application, but because it contains no solvents and
will not become sticky, it will not gum up or create
a build up of dirt.
Is Fluid FilmŪ
Biodegradable?
No, Fluid FilmŪ is not
biodegradable.
Will Fluid FilmŪ harm
electrical connections?
No. Fluid FilmŪ is
non-conductive and will not harm electrical
connections. Make sure that all connections are made
before applying Fluid FilmŪ.
Will Fluid FilmŪ work in
locks?
Fluid FilmŪ works very well
in locks. Fluid FilmŪ will provide long term
lubrication in a lock assembly. In cold weather
applications, Fluid FilmŪ will keep locks
from freezing, and since Fluid FilmŪ contains
no solvent, it will not get gummy or create a
build-up of dirt. Do not over-apply; a light
application is all that is necessary.
I've heard that Fluid
FilmŪ will condition my work boots? Is that true?
Fluid FilmŪ is an excellent
leather conditioner, and will soften and weather
proof leather work boots.
Fluid FilmŪ will prevent
snow from sticking to snow blowers, snow shovels,
snow mobiles, etc. and will also keep locks from
freezing. It works in sub-zero weather conditions.
Application may be required before each use.
How does Fluid FilmŪ work
on Motorcycle chains?
Fluid FilmŪ is an all
purpose chain lube due to its non-solvent
application. Spray Fluid FilmŪ directly on
the chain, wiping off excess with a clean rag.
Fluid FilmŪ will migrate into all areas,
providing long-lasting lubrication and protection
from rust. Great on bicycle chains as well.
Can I use Fluid FilmŪ on
firearms?
Yes. Apply Fluid FilmŪ to a
clean dry rag, rubbing into metal surface as would
be done with a polish or a wax. Will not leave
fingerprints or affect bluing. The lanolin base of
Fluid FilmŪ will also act as a conditioner on
wood stock. Fluid FilmŪ will hold up in
extreme conditions.
I have a gallon of Fluid
FilmŪ and want to thin it down. How can I do that?
The first recommendation is to
thoroughly mix the product. Fluid FilmŪ is
thixotropic, and will get heavier upon sitting.
Achieving room temperature with the product will
help as well. If a thinner version is wanted, start
by mixing a small amount of lightweight motor oil to
the product until the desired consistency is
reached.
Does Fluid FilmŪ dry out?
No. Fluid FilmŪ is a lanolin
based product containing no solvents. It will not
evaporate or dry from the surface. Fluid FilmŪ
will leave a wet, non-drying film, that will provide
long term corrosion protection on all metals and
superior lubrication for all moving parts.
Will Fluid FilmŪ stop
grass from sticking to my lawnmower?
Wet grass will stick to almost any
surface. Applying Fluid FilmŪ will prevent
any corrosion from occurring and ease in removal of
grass build up.
Does Fluid FilmŪ protect
all metals?
Fluid FilmŪ will protect all
metals from oxidation and atmospheric corrosion,
including steel, copper, lead, tin and zinc. It will
stop chrome and brass from pitting and aluminum and
magnesium from oxidizing.
Can you use a pump type
sprayer to spray Fluid FilmŪ in the bulk form?
No. Fluid FilmŪ needs to be
sprayed at 60-80 psi. For larger applications,
standard airless paint spraying equipment is
required.
What makes Fluid FilmŪ
different from the competition?
Where most products contain between
seventy and ninety percent solvent, Fluid FilmŪ
contains none except for its propellant, meaning
long lasting lubrication and protection. With no
solvent, Fluid FilmŪ won't evaporate or
become sticky or gummy, allowing it to migrate to
other areas for lubrication or protection. With its
unique lanolin base, Fluid FilmŪ will
actually imbed itself in the pores of metal,
resisting wash off and keeping moisture and oxygen
from getting to the base metal. Containing no
solvent content, Fluid FilmŪ lends itself to
numerous applications where the comparative
solvent-based products would not even be considered.
What is the bulk flash
point of Fluid FilmŪ NAS?
The bulk flash point of Fluid
FilmŪ NAS is 405 F.
Will Fluid FilmŪ burn
greenery when applied to trimming or cutting
devices?
No. Fluid FilmŪ will not
burn greenery.
What is the Shelf life of
Fluid FilmŪ?
The Shelf life of Fluid FilmŪ
is indefinite. In its aerosol form, Fluid FilmŪ
is guaranteed for one year from the date of
purchase.
Has there been any outside
testing conducted to show the effectiveness of
Fluid FilmŪ?
Yes. The Department of the Navy
conducted testing on maintenance products for Navy
vessels and Fluid FilmŪ was found to provide
superior performance. In fact, according to the
Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division,
Philadelphia, PA where material testing took place,
the difference in performance...profound...most
telling result of all the testing accomplished for
this project." The Naval Ammunition Depot in
Pensacola Florida conducted tests to find safer
products for corrosion preventatives, and Fluid
FilmŪ was found to supply superior protection in
salt water environments. Furthermore, the test
results found "outstanding results" in direct
exposure to the outside environment, and concluded
with these findings: "The results of the tests
preformed indicate a superiority in Fluid FilmŪ
for long term corrosion protection. The properties
of Fluid FilmŪ help to achieve a more
environmentally safe work place." Testing was also
done in an outside testing facility according to
Salt Spray resistance - ASTM B117 standards where
Fluid FilmŪ was tested against WD-40, CRC 3-36,
Corrosion X and LPS-3. After 3 weeks exposure
Fluid FilmŪ had a total surface corrosion of 1%,
while the closest competitor contained 40% surface
corrosion. Two of the other competitors had achieved
100% surface corrosion during this same period,
proving once again the superior quality of Fluid
FilmŪ.
