Ardrox® 3966 is a water-displacing product for temporary corrosion protection, consisting of a mixture of surfactants, corrosion inhibitors and mineral oils. It has very good spreading and penetrating properties. It contains a volatile solvent; when this has evaporated, a very thin oil film remains which displaces water from the surface and gives temporary protection to the metal. It does not affect normal paint systems and is not corrosive to copper.
