Heatbath Corporation (Indian Orchard, MA) has expanded its line of rust preventative products with the introduction of Durawax, a silicone-free, multi-purpose synthetic wax emulsion that provides excellent coverage over bare steel or conversion coatings including black oxide and phosphate coatings.  Durawax forms a hard, shiny dry film that enhances surface appearance and durability. 

Applied over black oxide at 50% by volume, it delivers more than 400 hours of corrosion protection when subjected to 100% Relative Humidity testing (ASTM D-2247).  It can also be used as a dry film lubricant for torque reduction.  It is an excellent emulsion for the weatherproofing of military implements.

Durawax is non-flammable, is used at ambient temperature and can be diluted with tap water up to 50% by volume.  The bath is stable and easy to replenish.  Parts should be free of soils and oil residues prior to dipping, but pre-drying of parts before processing is not required.  Application is by immersion for 1-3 minutes.  Films air dry quickly, but forced air or spin drying can be used.  Durawax is easily removed using a hot alkaline cleaner.
