Outside tests confirm Fluid Film® is Superior to WD-40 for rust/corrosion prevention.
Eureka Chemical Company had outside testing conducted to determine the difference in performance between Fluid Film and the top four competitors. The results were conclusive. Nothing beats Fluid Film.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 20, 2005 --
Testing was done in an outside testing facility according to Salt Spray resistance - ASTM B117 standards where Fluid Film® was tested against WD-40, CRC 3-36, Corrosion X and LPS-3. After 3 weeks exposure Fluid Film® had a total surface corrosion of 1%, while the closest competitor contained 40% surface corrosion. Two of the other competitors had achieved 100% surface corrosion during this same period, proving once again the superior quality of Fluid Film®.
Fluid Film® has also been tested by the Department of the Navy who conducted testing on maintenance products for Navy vessels, and Fluid Film® was found to provide superior performance. In fact, according to the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, Philadelphia, PA where material testing took place, the difference performance...profound...most telling result of all the testing accomplished for this project." The Naval Ammunition Depot in Pensacola Florida conducted tests to find safer products for corrosion preventatives, and Fluid Film® was found to supply superior protection in salt water environments. Furthermore, the test results found "outstanding results" in direct exposure to the outside environment, and concluded with these findings: "The results of the tests preformed indicate a superiority in Fluid Film® for long term corrosion protection. The properties of Fluid Film® help to achieve a more environmentally safe work place."
Fluid Film® was further tested by the U.S. Air Force in accordance with Mil-C-16173-E Grade 2, and was found to exceed all requirements. Delta Airlines wrote a process standard recommending Fluid Film® as a general purpose maintenance lubricant, stating that “Fluid Film® differs from other general purpose maintenance lubricants in that the lubricating capability remains for extended periods of time and is not subject to evaporation.” Studies conducted by Purdue University found Fluid Film® to protect against stress corrosion cracking. When applied prior to exposure of the protected surface to an aggressive environment, Fluid Film® was most effective. Boeing’s Space Systems Division wrote a specification for Fluid Film’s use on the Space Shuttle after Fluid Film® passed the rigid testing standards for maintenance materials. Fluid Film® was also tested by Boeing’s Engineering Materials and Process Laboratory and found to be twice as effective as commonly used CPC’s for aluminum alloys. Sundstrand Aerospace wrote a specification for Fluid Film’s use as a preservative oil for magnesium, which is now used as a standard throughout the helicopter industry. The U.S. Coast Guard wrote an engineering specification for Fluid Film® with the purpose being to improve the corrosion resistance of corrosion prone areas of aircraft.
With test results like these, it’s amazing that Fluid Film® is not the number one rust/corrosion preventive and lubricant on the market today. Eureka Chemical Company has been around for over 50 years, quietly supplying the military and industrial markets with its superior quality product line. Fluid Film is now available to the consumer through a network of dealers and distributors. You can find a dealer locator on their web site at www.eurekafluidfilm.com.
