ARDROX 3965 - Water Displacing Corrosion Preventative

Overview

ARDROX 3965 is a petroleum-based corrosion preventative formulated from surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and oil in a solvent carrier. It is designed for excellent water displacement and penetration, leaving behind a thin oily film that provides temporary corrosion protection for metal components and assemblies.

This product is intended for short- to medium-term protection and is not recommended for long-term outdoor storage exposure.
