Traditional rust preventives utilize waxes and oils to leave a thin temporary coating on a metal surface. The waxes that are used in traditional rust preventives are petroleum waxes typically from Group I refineries. An ongoing research program has investigated the use of alternative waxes. Due to the varying melt point and structure of these waxes compared to petroleum waxes a wax solubilizer is needed. This study will compare rust preventives made with alternatives to the traditional petroleum wax rust preventives. The differences in the performance of alternative wax rust preventives with and without wax solubilizers will be investigated.
