ACF-50 is a state-of-the-art compound for controlling corrosion on aircraft electrical and avionics systems and airframes. ACF-50 is certified under Mil-C-81309-E, Amendment 3, Type II. ACF-50 is manufactured under ISO 9000 Certified Processes. Used in motorcycles ACF-50 protects the bare metal finish with a think film to keep the surface looking as good as it did when you applied it. We recomend its use on all components to maintain the blasted finish.
What is Corrosion?
-
THE CORROSION PROCESS:
When moisture is present for a prolonged period of time, corrosion "cells" are formed. These cells act as catalysts, feeding the transfer of electrons as long as any moisture is present.
-
WAXES RETAIN WATER:
Most corrosion inhibitors contain sealants such as wax, tar, asphalt, teflon or silicone lay on top of the corrosion cell. Because of their thick composition, they cannot remove the electrolyte and may actually seal it in, thereby encouraging corrosion.
-
THE ACF-50 IS FOGGED INTO THE AIRFRAME:
The recommended way to apply ACF-50 is to use a specially-designed high pressure pump system to convert it into a dense fog.
-
ACF-50 PENETRATES THE CORROSION BY-PRODUCT:
ACF-50's ultra-thin formula easily penetrates the entire corrosion cell.
-
ACF-50 EJECTS THE ELECTROLYTE:
The encapsulated and emulsified electrolyte is ejected from the corrosion cell and replaced with ACF-50.
-
NO ELECTROLYTE = NO CORROSION:
The ACF-50 acts as an insulator, terminating the electrolytic process for 24 months!
About ACF-50:
- ACF-50 was developed 15 years ago and has amassed a record of performance unique in the aerospace industry.
- ACF-50 is an excellent penetrant.
- ACF-50 kills any corrosion currently in progress with just one application.
- 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 needs to be re-applied.
- The ultra-thin-film does not hold any salt crystals, dirt particles and does not "dry", it stays a flexible liquid.
- 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 is non-carcinogenic and virtually non-toxic.
- 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 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.
