ISO 6743-8 (1987): ISO-L-RM category
Applications
For use in:
- Long-term protection during storage – Ensis V is suitable for long-term protection of steel and cast iron components during storage and shipment.
Application [*]:
- Dipping
- Spraying (air assisted or airless)
- Brushing
[*] It is best applied by dipping but can also be sprayed. Brushing of the fluid can also be used but extra care must be taken to ensure that adventitious dirt, particulates or brush fibres are not inadvertently introduced which may remain in the film as they can significantly detract from anti-corrosion performance.
Product must be protected against frost. The product must be shaken before use (risk of a small degree of footing but this does not alter performance).
Duration of fluid storage: 12 months maximum
