Description
TECTYL 714 is a premium, solvent-free thin film rust preventive oil manufactured by Daubert Chemical Company, Inc. This high-performance corrosion inhibitor is specially formulated to protect ferrous and non-ferrous metal substrates, including steel tubing, sheets, coils, bars, and wire during in-plant processing, transit, and indoor storage. With its high flash point for enhanced safety and stability, TECTYL 714 provides a convenient and cost-effective short-term protection solution for metal surfaces on moving parts, spare parts, and other metal equipment. The product appears amber in its liquid form and creates an oily, transparent protective film that penetrates cracks and crevices, preventing corrosion deep within metal structures while maintaining a pleasant appearance.
