DeOxit as a corrosion inhibitor
"How corrosion inhibitors protect metal: synthesis in
the lab and testing" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpRrP3sqQLw (23:01) This video isn't really about DeOxit but does offer a good clue as to the formulation and how it works. The video does a better job of explaining what's happening than I could, so I won't repeat much of its contents. He mentions that his inspiration came from this patent: "Corrosion inhibited lubricant composition" https://patents.google.com/patent/US4193882 Note that Camolin Red, the predecessor of DeOxit, shows 5% oleic acid and 95% "volatile hydrocarbons and propellant". I had been assuming that the hydrocarbons were just mineral oil or something similar. Apparently not. I'm also assuming that the steel corrosion protection that DeOxit shows in the video, also applies to copper wire and silver plated contacts. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
DeOxit as a corrosion inhibitor
It's like 2:00 AM and I can't play videos right now because every time I do they come up with a big BOOM and I am waiting for it to happen and the others come and say "Did you blow off a gun in the house ?". One time I plugged in a preamp that had DC on the output and when I switched to it the thud was like, you would think like maybe a big bookshelf got tipped on the floor or some ****.
Anyway, what makes Deoxit Deoxit is the reducer. It is a very small part of the contents but the part that really does the work. I do not know which component it is. It actually takes the oxygen out of the metal. Now if you can get that stuff to forever be on the metal I imagine it would be really protected. Some sort of non-volatile grease, but I don't know if it is oil soluble. If I were so inclined I would do a little research and find out exactly how a reducer works, what they are, their properties and all that but rally, I have enough going on. There has to be someone around here who knows more. If not maybe we have to go find somewhere else. Yeah I am interested but I am not willing to spend a week on it. |

Cramolin Red did not first come in spray. Just like 100% Deoxit D100. I'll look at that video, but can't on this old tablet. Greg |

Greg In watching the video, I was wondering how the Rtv acedic acid reacted with steel. I coated and removed cured rtv from copper sheet, no corrosion. Whatever it was, I removed old NOS stuff like silver plated switches. Around the switch was a piece of paper looking sheet. One side said towards part. Any part sticking out of paper had turned black. I still have some pads to stick inside sensitive equipment said to protect. Never tried them. Greg |

"Silver Paper" has been around since the 1800s, invented/developed in England when burning high-sulphur coal was common both for heat and for "town gas" that powered street lights. In that environment the "Plate" would tarnish almost overnight, requiring dedicated servants for its maintenance. Still around today: https://www.amazon.com/3M-Anti-Tarni.../dp/B00O89A21Q As a related 'aside', fine silver is much more resistant to tarnish than Sterling or Plate-silver. So drinking vessels and those made to serve food typically had a fine-silver wash on the contact surface. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |

To keep oxygen and water away from the metal, cover the bare metal surfaces with something so that the oxygen and water do not come into contact with the metal. On a tool where the bare metal surfaces need to stay bare, paint will not work. A layer of oil is often a good option. Oil evaporates slowly, clings well to the metal and is relatively easy to wipe off before use. With metal objects that are kept at outdoor temperature, condensation is the main problem (unless you leave it out in the rain). Metal has a relatively high heat capacity, so when the weather changes from cold and dry to warm and humid, the metal stays cold for a while, causing condensation. If you can keep your tool slightly warmer than the outside air, you will greatly reduce condensation and therefore rusting. You don't need climate control. You only need to keep it somewhat warm. -- RoRo |

They speak proudly of their special "polar bonding" technology, but the safety sheet doesn't mention any ingredients other than mineral oil and hydrotreated neutral base oil. I haven't tried this stuff myself. For the non-working surfaces of metal tools, you might want to consider an old woodworker's trick - wipe them with some pure tung oil. This is a "drying" oil - it polymerizes on contact with air and forms a solid film, which (from what I've read) is quite a good moisture and water-vapor barrier. I don't think it has any specific oxidation-blocking chemistry (such as Jeff referred to) so it's a good idea to de-rust the surfaces before you coat with tung oil. I've treated some hand tools by first cleaning up the rust with a phosphoric acid dip/wipe (rinsing well afterwards) and then wiping on some tung oil. A thin coat will "dry" (polymerize) within a day or two, and the coating on those tool surfaces has held up well in storage. Note that this is pure tung oil I'm referring to - not one of the commercial "tung oil" varnishes, which often contain little or no tung oil. |

Well, if tung oil works for you, then boiled linseed oil should also work: https://www.popularwoodworking.com/flexner-on-finishing-blog/comparing-linseed-oil-and-tung-oil/ I haven't tried either. If you can tolerate something that coats the surface and hardens in place, then any of the conformal PCB coating sprays (acrylic, urethane, wax, etc) should work. Some have UV tracers built in so you can see if you missed anything. Anything that blocks moisture, stays in place, doesn't wash away, and doesn't feed the fungus, should work. For me, that's common automotive grease, especially the types intended for marine use, which needs to be waterproof. https://www.google.com/search?q=marine+grease&tbm=isch Been using Boiled Linseed oil for years in automotive rustproofing. It dries after a bit of smelly period. Also trying Fluidfilm for rustproofing. Kinda stays moist. lanolin. Long term results not in yet. Greg |

The only thing I knew for sure was minium (lead oxyde), an orange liquid.
And then a layer of painting of your choice for aspect. But I'm not sure tu use of minium is allowed today due to lead.

Been a long time since I used it, LPS3 dries waxy. I hardly ever see LPS 1,2,3 in stores.
I never see it. Best place I found to get it is Zoro, their discount kicks in low, maybe 6 cans or whatever, or was that free shipping ? I got LPS2 there, I was specifically looking for 2 so that is what I got and I didn't "go shopping". I don't know if they have 3 or 1. I don't like their new cans though. The old ones you used to be able to throttle. Now it gushes out and shoots across the room. (if you got the right tube on it, not supplied) And now I lost my syringe somewhere and I no longer know any diabetics. I work on vintage audio and sometimes you have to clean the tuning cap, but only where the contacts are, not all over. If it gets all over the plates it doesn't matter right now because it is electrically inert. But the dust it may attract maybe not, then it throws off the alignment and will continue to do so. Same with using it on pots, no matter what you don't want that stuff dripping out of it. In the aerospace industry, which uses it, dripping is sometimes good. And the smell is not going anywhere for months. The smell, well it is not worse than WD-40 but it lasts longer. Some people use WD-40 but I won't. It is not the worst but as long as I can get LPS I'll use that. |

That's because they only stock what sells.
And what sells to the knuckle dragging morons is WD-40. What I would like to see is some residue free plastic friendly solvent. I was getting this stuff called Ideal locally. By the smell it is alcohol based, but it works well and wrecks nothing. But of course just like everything I like or want in this world the discontinued it. Grr. Really, you don't have time to read the list. |
