E-Tec 522
- Chemical Family
- Waxes
E-Tec 522 is a one-of-a-kind, water-based wax emulsion with excellent adhesion and durability on a variety of substrates. It dries to a satiny film in about 15 minutes without losing its wax characteristics or lubricity. It can be used on lightly oiled surfaces and dries to a tack-free finish. This product provides a temporary protective coating to aid in the prevention of corrosion during part storage and shipment.

Additional Information Drying time depends upon temperature, humidity and air flow. At 75°F (24°C) and 45% relative humidity, E-Tec 522 dries to the touch in about 15 minutes when applied at full strength. Forced warm air and/or dilution will decrease the drying time. Removal of Finishes The E-Tec 522 is easily removed in EPI's alkaline E-Kleen cleaning solutions. Disposal Spent E-Tec 522 solutions can be discharged into the sewer after neutralizing to the pH required by local sanitary department.

- HIGHLIGHTS
Satin Wax Emulsion Corrosion Coating E-Tec 522 is recommended for metal surfaces, i.e. aluminum, steel, stainless steel, copper and galvanized and plated metals, where a waxy coating can be employed to give effective exterior or interior rust protection. E-Tec 522 can be used to coat lightly oiled metal surfaces. Test a sample part to determine adhesion and film-forming properties when applying over lightly oiled or uncleaned surfaces. Since there are various types of oils, we recommend such a pretest for compatibility.
