Why Steelgard 521?

Steelgard 521 is the easy way to protect metal parts and surfaces from corrosion during manufacture, storage and shipping.  For industrial use it can be easily decanted into sprayers or used in dip-tanks. Applied at every stage of metalwork from first cut or immediately after casting and after each stage of machining and finishing, it prevents pinprick rust from setting in and wards off corrosion issues, ensuring your products arrive with your customers in perfect condition.

Steelgard 521 and Steelgard 973 holds M.O.D. approval to Defence Standard (PX-24) 68/10 Issue 03 and 05(NATO Code C-634) and are approved for use by the Royal Dockyard at Devonport for use within the British submarine and nuclear submarine fleet.

Originally formulated to comply with the original Def Stan (PX-24) 68/10 issue 01, we have had a Steelgard product approved under every issue since.  Available in two different formulations Steelgard 521 approved to (PX-24) 68/10 issue 03 (40 deg C flash point solvent). And Steelgard 973 approved to (PX-24) 68/10 issue 05 (60 deg C flash point solvent).

An extremely high-quality product which replaces traditional oily, messy coatings or lacquers which can be unreliable and difficult to remove.  Steelgard 521 is compatible with most fuels and lubricants so does not need removing before automotive parts are put into service.  If required, Steelgard 521 can be simply wiped off and if your product needs to be coated or the bare metal exposed for any reason, a simple solvent wash will remove all traces.

Not just for precision engineers and submarine technicians, there are 1001 uses for Steelgard 521 around the home, garage, factory and inspection pit.  Far more effective at dewatering and lubricating than most, similar, products but also packed with corrosion inhibitors to protect everything it touches from rust and corrosion.
