Description

TECTYL® 283S17HF is a premium solvent-based, water-displacing thin film rust preventive oil manufactured by Daubert Chemical Company. This specialized protective coating is formulated with aliphatic solvents to provide effective short to medium-term corrosion protection while functioning as a lubricant and penetrant. With its low viscosity properties, TECTYL® 283S17HF easily penetrates cracks and crevices while displacing moisture from metal surfaces. Upon drying, it forms an ultra-light, transparent, non-staining oily film that provides reliable protection for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals during indoor storage and domestic shipment. This product is approved by Hamilton Sunstrand Engineering Standard MS02.43 Rev AF, ensuring it meets stringent industry requirements.

Application Guidelines

TECTYL® 283S17HF is formulated to be used as supplied without additional thinning or modification:

  • Application Methods: Commonly applied by spray or dip methods
  • Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from rust, oil, and mill scale
  • Preparation: Ensure uniform consistency prior to use
  • Stirring Requirements: Continued stirring is generally not required
  • Temperature Conditions: Recommended ambient and product temperature of 50-95°F (10-35°C) at time of application
  • Thinning: DO NOT THIN – Incorrect thinning will affect film build, dry time, and product performance
  • Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation during application and curing

Storage and Handling

  • Temperature Control: Store at moderate temperatures between 50-95°F (10-35°C)
  • Shelf Life: Best used within 36 months from date of manufacture when stored under proper conditions
  • Appearance Monitoring: Maintain the light amber appearance and flow characteristics
  • Removal: Can be removed with mineral spirits, similar petroleum solvents, hot alkaline wash, low-pressure steam, or specialized cleaners like Tectyl Biocleaner
  • Safety Precautions: Ensure adequate ventilation during application and curing to prevent the formation of combustible vapors
  • Container Management: Keep containers sealed when not in use to prevent solvent loss
  • Flash Point Awareness: Note the flash point for proper safety measures during storage and handling
  • Documentation: Refer to SDS for additional safety information and handling recommendations
