 Applications
of Ferrosol
In 4-Ball Wear Tests carried out by Tribologic Ltd of Leeds
University Ferrosol was proven to provide far greater levels
of protection than a market leading competitor.

Here
we see side-by-side the actual balls used in the testing. The
left ball was lubricated by the competitor, the right by Ferrosol. The difference
in wear spots shows the huge benefit in using Ferrosol to lubricate
and protect moving parts.
Ferrosol also provides greater levels of corrosion protection
than the competitor. Here the salt-spray trial results are shown after
24 hours.
Ferrosol displaces water:
Look
carefully at this steel panel beneath the standing water corrosion
has begun to occur. Three drops of Ferrosol are made onto the
water’s surface. Ferrosol rapidly pushes aside the standing
water.
After
72 hours the protected site shows the level of protection
established compared to those areas where the wateer remained.

How to Apply
Ferrosol should be applied liberally to surfaces contaminated
by water the initial displacement occurs rapidly. The residual
Ferrosol film will provide excellent anti-corrosion properties,
and can be easily removed by mild solvents at a later date if
necessary. Isolate electrical equipment or components before
treatment.
Ferrosol can be used to clean gums, adhesive materials, wax
and tar from many surfaces including most automotive finishes
the product should be applied to offending mark left for 10-20
seconds and removed gently with a soft cotton cloth.
For use as a metal working lubricant Ferrosol should be applied
frequently to the work piece and tool. To lubricate apply liberally
and allow to penetrate.
To undo rusted and frozen components
Ferrosol should be allowed to soak in for a few minutes, rusted
nuts and bolts should have a tightening force applied before
undoing this will "crack" the
rusted interface.
Always follow equipment manufacturer’s lubrication advice
when lubricating equipment and machinery. |
