ACF-50 INFO
1/ All Metallic Aircraft Corrode.
It is the nature of refined metals to return to their most stable form that of a metallic oxide.
the rate at which metals corrode depends upon the environment they receive.
Metals exposed to marine atmospheres, moisture, and tropical temperatures have the highest rates of corrosion.
2/ ACF-50 Kills Corrosion On Contact.
ACF-50 is a state-of-the-art anti-corrosion/lubricating compound that has been specially designed for aviation and aerospace use. It is a clean, clear, non-toxic, ultra-then fluid compound which leaves a non-greasy atmospheric barrier to protect metal surfaces.
With a dielectric rating of nearly 40KV, ACF-50 will kill corrosion cells on contact and completely remove the moisture from the metal surface.
It actively penetrates into seams, lap joints and beneath rivet heads, expelling moisture and even saltwater.
In addition, it can be used on all types of plastics, paints and seals without fear of damage.
3/ One Treatment Protects For 24 Months.
No matter how hot, cold, humid, or salt-laden your atmosphere is, ACF-50 will perform.
It will remain effective for approximately two years.
Exactly how long an ACF-50 treat will last depends upon how corrosive your aircraft’s environment is, how often you fly, and whether or not your aircraft is hangared.
4/ ACF-50 Meets the Navy’s Requirements for 81309E Type ll Class 1 What does this double rating mean?
It means that ACF-50 is not restricted to airframe application.
It is approved for use on airframes plus electrical and avionics systems.
5/ Regular ACF-50 Treatments Will Save You Money.
Check with your insurance agent to see if your annual premium may be discounted for regular ACF-50 treatments.
THE BOTTOM LINE:
Treating your aircraft with ACF-50 will save you money.
It is a fact that preventive maintenance is always cheaper than the repair or replacement of costly aviation components.
Plus, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that your aircraft investment has received the best corrosion protection available on the market.
ACF-50 was developed 15 years ago and has amassed a record of performance unique in the aerospace industry.
Here are some of its unique properties:
- ACF-50 is an excellent penetrant.
- ACF-50 provides excellent low-shear lubrication to moving parts and cables.
- ACF-50 kills any corrosion currently in progress with just one application.
- Removal of the corrosion by-product is not necessary.
- ACF-50 is good for rubber, preventing it from cracking or drying out.
- In most applications, ACF-50's unique properties will last for 24 months before it is consumed and needs to be re-applied.
- The ultra-thin-film does not attract and hold salt crystals and dirt particles.
- The ultra-thin film does not "dry". It stays a flexible liquid and therefore seals the surface better as the surface expands and contracts.
- ACF-50 will not displace or melt any grease which is already in place. It will mix with it and make it more efficient.
- ACF-50 will not support combustion.
- ACF-50 has a very low percentage of Volatile Organic Compounds (less than 17%).
- ACF-50 is non-carcinogenic and virtually non-toxic. Incidentally, full toxicality testing has been done to support this claim.
- ACF-50 can be easily removed with MEK or soap and water.
- ACF-50 will not harm any plastics or painted surfaces.
- ACF-50 can be safely applied to electronics such as radios, timers, test equipment, antenna connections, computers, etc. However, we recommend you avoid using it on LED's, LCD's and soft membrane switches.
- ACF-50 can be safely applied to electrical components such as alternators, starters, magnetos, generators, distributors, carburators, wiring, switches, rheostats, compressors, battery terminals, light bulb sockets, electrical connectors, circuit breakers, ignition systems, wire harnesses, etc.
- ACF-50 is qualified under Mil-C- 81309, Amendement 3, Type II. It also meets the performance requirements of BMS 3-23E, CSD#1, DMS 2150, and TN A 007.10138. It is also listed on the United States Coast Guard Authorized Chemical List for the HC-130 platform.
ACF-50 actually costs less than other products since:
It lasts for 24 months.
Application is fast and easy with virtually no cleanup. It doesn't leave a sticky, waxy mess during application, thereby reducing cleanup time.
It has excellent coverage-3,000 sf when used with our fogging system.
Corrosion-related replacement and repair costs are cut substantially.
Inspections can be performed without labor-intensive removal procedures.
Corrosion prevention and control become more predictable, as an application can be done during regularly scheduled annual maintenance without the need for extended down time.
