ZERUST® Zeriol™ MCO-35 is a ready-to-use, oil-based corrosion preventive that forms a clear, thin, oily film to protect ferrous, nonferrous, and multimetal surfaces in aggressive environments such as humidity, salt air, and marine exposure common to oil & gas fabrication, storage, and export. It also provides lubricity to support handling, inspection, assembly, and disassembly. Zeriol MCO-35 is free of barium and heavy metals and complies with TSCA, RoHS, REACH SVHC, and Global Automotive Declarable Substance requirements.
