VCI Jelly Wax
RUST-X VCI Jelly Wax 164 is a viscous wax type mineral oil based product, which can be applied with a brush. The viscous gel hardens to form a waxy coat which is highly active against corrosion under the most damaging environmental conditions and provides longterm corrosion protection to the parts on which it is applied. The VCI Jelly Wax is tacky and stays on the surface and is not easily removed by handling and re-handling. This can be used to protect structures, chemical plants and equipment that are intended for outdoor storage or are located in open areas and need protection. These can also be used to protection unpacked refinery equipment oil pipeline equipment and valves, off shore refinery parts which are not painted or coated and require protection or during the storage while commissioning, for lay-up during shut-downs and also on heat exchangers, windmills and auto motives.
