Weldable Rust Preventative Fluid

RP6™ Weldable Rust Preventative Fluid from The Lincoln Electric Company (Cleveland, OH) is a new innovative oil-based fluid that provides up to six months of indoor corrosion protection by preventing rust on ferrous metals, while not adversely impacting the welding process. It is an ideal solution for welding applications in heavy fabrication, automotive, steel storage and agriculture – any welding application where raw materials may be subject to corrosion prior to welding.

The weldability of this fluid has been verified through rigorous third-party testing. Coated metal samples were welded, scored and X-rayed. The analysis determined that the use of RP6 did not result in any contributable instances of welding-related defects. Metals treated with it require minimal cleaning prior to welding. The chemical makeup of the fluid results in increased productivity, as well as time and cost savings. After applying there is no need to grind, shot blast or chemically clean the joint prior to welding. In addition, the thin film coating requires less product applied per square foot when compared with competing products.

Ready-to-use it can be dipped, sprayed or brushed onto ferrous metals. Lincoln Electric offers it in 55 gal drums and 5 gal pails. For more information on the product please click here.
