No, there is no waiting and the friction drops will not adhere to the tool or fastener.

Do the coin demo. Take two coins and press them between your thumb and index fingers, press them together hard and try to slide them against each other – of course they slide. Now take the coins and place a drop of EZ Grip Friction Drops between them and do the same test. They don’t slide because the microscopic blocks have quickly moved into place around the shallow artwork on the coins and when you pressed them together firmly they temporarily interlocked with each other. They have formed a temporary bridge between differential surfaces on the coins. Relax your pressure on the coins and they will slide, apply the pressure and they will lock again.

No. The carrying agent is specifically formulated to prevent any corrosion to metal surfaces and will not attack O-rings.

EZ Grip Screw Extractor is designed to interlock your driver or wrench head with the fastener head and increase the torque to help turn the head. If the threads are so frozen in the tap hole that you cannot turn it out try a heavy duty lubricant.

Shelf life exceeds 12 years but we say 10 to be safe.

Sandwich Corrosion

per ASTM F 1110

TEST METHOD

1. 1. Aluminum panels having clad or anodized nonclad surfaces are sandwiched together with filter paper saturated with the test material between the panels. The sandwiched panels are cycled between warm ambient air and warm humid air for 7 days. The coupons are then inspected to determine whether corrosion more severe than that caused by a reagent water has occurred on the surfaces exposed to the test material. This test method may be used for solutions of dry granular material or for liquid materials.

4. 4. Relative corrosion severity rating system:

0. No visible corrosion
1. Very slight corrosion or discoloration (up to 5% of surface area corroded)
2. Slight corrosion (5 to 15%)
3. Moderate corrosion (10 to 25%)
4. Extensive corrosion or pitting (25% or more)

Hydrogen Embrittlement

per ASTM F 519, Type 1C

Test Procedure:

8. TYPE 1C SPECIMENS

1. 1. 1. 1. Load a minimum of three specimens to 45% of the bend strength.
         2. Put the test solution into a clean plastic container, place the stressed specimens in the test solution, and record the time to failure if less than 150 hours. The test may be discontinued after 150 hours.

INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS

1. Failure of all specimen types occurs by readily visible detectable fracture processes.

As received: No failures within 150 hours. (Product layers upon standing)

CORROSION OF LOW-EMBRITTLING CADMIUM PLATE

BY AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE CHEMICALS

SCOPE

This test method is intended as a means of determining the corrosive effects of aircraft maintenance chemicals on low-embrittling cadmium plating used on aircraft high-strength steel, under conditions of total immersion by quantitative measurements of weight change.

PROCEDURE

Dry the precleaned specimens at 110° C for 1 hour, allow to cool to room temperature in a deslccator, then weigh to the nearest 0.1 mg.

Transfer the specimens to the vessel containing the preheated maintenance chemical solution. Seal the test vessel to prevent loss of vapor. Maintain at the required temperature and expose for a period of 24 hours.

Remove the specimens at the end of the exposure period and proceed as follows:

1. Hold the specimen in forceps and rinse thoroughly in a 1 liter beaker into which tap water is flowing rapidly.
2. Rinse thoroughly in water at room temperature.
3. Rinse with a stream of acetone from a wash bottle. Shake free from acetone and dry.
4. Place the specimens in an oven at 110 +/- 2° C for 1 hour and allow to cool to room temperature in a desiccator.
5. Reweigh the specimens to the nearest 0.1 mg and record.

Average weight loss per 1″ x 2″ panel:

0.5 mg/cm2/24hrs.

Paragraph 4.6.4.3.1

Notched C-Ring

1. 1. 1. 1. 1. Notched C-Ring

2. 2. 2. 2. 2. 2. Procedure. The ring shall be stressed to 65 percent of the predetermined average breaking strength by tightening the nut until the diameter of the ring, measured across the bolt, is reduced to the calculated value. (In most cases the diameter will be reduced by 0.22 cm (0.087 inch). Any steel bolt of suitable size may be used for the stressing. If equipment is available, this may be done more accurately with a strain indicator and a loading bolt containing a strain gauge. The stressed ring shall be immersed for 60 seconds in the paint remover sample with the notched side down to a point where the ring is covered approximately one inch on either side of the notch. The rings shall be removed and allowed to hang notched side down in air for 100+/- hours. No rinse of any kind shall be used after dipping. Suitable hangers may be made of plastic or rubber coated wire. The rings shall not break or crack during the 100 hour test period.
