Cylinder Protection Gel

Product Details:

• Oxidation inhibitor for metal components
• Anti-wear lubricant for light-load machinery under low temperatures.
• Softening agent
• Cylinder protection Gel is a useful lubricant which protects objects from oxidation, it may be used to coat metals which are vulnerable to oxidation damage
• Many printers and etchers for example use a thin coat of protection Gel to protect Image cylinders plates from oxidation so that they can be stored
• Oxidation is defined as the interaction between oxygen molecules and all the different substances they may contact from metal to living tissue
• Technically however with the discovery of electrons, oxidation came to be more precisely defined as the loss of electron when two or more substances interact
• We often used the words oxidation and rust interchangeably, but not all materials which interact with oxygen molecules actually disintegrate into rust
• In the case of iron, the oxygen creates a slow burning process, which results in the brittle brown substance we call rust
• When oxidation occurs in copper on the other hand, the result is a greenish coating called copper oxide (Cqu)
• The metal itself is not weakened by oxidation, but the surface develops a palatina after a period of exposure to air and water
• The secret of preventing oxidation caused by oxygen is to provide a Protective layer between the exposed material and the air
• Destructive oxidation cannot occur if the oxygen is inhibited to a surface.
