TECTYL 846
is a solvent cutback, wax base, general purpose, corrosion preventive compound. TECTYL 846 meets the performance requirements of Military Specification MIL-C-16173D, Grade 4. and is excellent for long term protection of metallic surfaces against corrosion in either indoor or outdoor exposure and during domestic and international shipments, like machinery, machine rolls/tools, automatic parts, dies, tubing, and spare parts. TECTYL 846 cures to a dark amber colored, waxy, transparent, firm film.

Surface Preparation: The maximum performance of TECTYL 846 can be achieved only when the metal surfaces to be protected are clean, dry and free of rust, oil and mill scale. Valvoline recommends that the metal substrate temperature be 10-35 °C at the time of product application.
Application: TECTYL 846 is formulated to be used as supplied. Ensure uniform consistency prior to use. Continued stirring is generally not required. If the product thickens due to cold storage or loss of solvent during use, contact Valvoline. DO NOT THIN TECTYL 846. Incorrect thinning will affect film build, dry time and product performance. Tectyl recommends that the ambient and product temperature be 10-35 °C at the time of product application. TECTYL 846 can be applied by airless spray or brush. DO NOT FREEZE TECTYL 846.
