It dries to leave a continuous firm wax protective coating that imparts excellent corrosion protection properties. Ankor Wax has de-watering properties and therefore can be used where the metal parts to be treated are wet. All traces of water are displaced before the protective film is applied. Ankor Wax is effective in damp and humid climates and gives excellent protection against salt spray.
Applications:
Ankor Wax is recommended for medium and long-term corrosion protection applications. This product is highly recommended for protecting bright steel wire, bars, billets, sections, and sheets during long-term storage and transport. It may also be used as an underbody protective. Ankor Wax is easily applied by spraying, brushing, or dipping. The low viscosity of this product ensures minimum drag out when using the dipping process, and in large-scale systems, this can show significant savings over other types of products.
If parts that have been treated with Ankor Wax are to be subsequently painted, the coating must be removed prior to painting, and this can be achieved using our Tabor OK or Purolene. White spirit, kerosene, and other hydrocarbon solvents may also be used.
It is recommended that containers are stored in a cool area with bungs or tightly closed to avoid evaporation of the solvent, which would lead to excessive thickening of the product, making application increasingly difficult.
Protection Performance:
Indoors: 3 – 5 years
Covered Outdoors: 2 years
Outdoors: 18 months.
This guide is for users of Morris Ankor Anti Rust Wax, providing long-term corrosion protection for metal surfaces. The wax is ideal for protecting metal parts during storage and transport, offering excellent protection in various environments. However, remember to remove the wax before painting the treated surfaces. This guide covers key features, usage, and care instructions to help you get the most out of your Ankor Wax.
Yes, Ankor Wax has de-watering properties, allowing it to displace water and be applied to wet metal parts.
How do I remove the wax?
Use Tabor OK, Purolene, white spirit, kerosene, or other hydrocarbon solvents.
What methods can I use to apply the wax?
You can apply it by spraying, brushing, or dipping.
Where should I store the product?
Store containers in a cool area with bungs or tightly closed to prevent solvent evaporation.
What is Ankor Wax used for?
It is recommended for medium and long-term corrosion protection, especially for protecting bright steel wire, bars, billets, sections, and sheets during long-term storage and transport.
Can I paint over the wax?
No, you must remove the wax before painting.
Troubleshooting
The wax is too thick to apply.
The wax may have thickened due to solvent evaporation. Store containers in a cool area with bungs or tightly closed to avoid evaporation. You may need to replace the product.
The wax doesn't seem to be covering the surface adequately.
Ensure you are applying a sufficient amount of wax using your chosen method (spraying, brushing, dipping). The low viscosity aids spread, but adequate coverage is essential.
The wax is not drying properly.
Check the application environment. Ensure adequate ventilation. The drying time may vary depending on environmental conditions (temperature, humidity).
