Penetrating Oil
8472 Technical Data Sheet
8472-Liquid
Description
The 8472
Penetrating Oil
has excellent lubricating and penetrating characteristics. It provides corrosion
resistance as strong as any penetrant on the market. It has low-VOC’s, so it does not dry quickly. As well,
unlike some penetrants, it is safe on plastics, seals, and painted surfaces.
Applications & Usages
Common uses include releasing rusted bolts, nuts, screws, fasteners, pulleys, scales, tools, and other
frozen metal mechanisms; general industrial maintenance and repair work, lubricating close fitting parts,
displacing moisture, maintaining garden and yard equipment, household repair tasks, maintaining boating
equipment and any mechanical equipment regularly subject to moist or wet conditions.
Superior Characteristics

Lubricates
Protects
Creeps into tiny spaces and quickly dissolves rust to free corroded nuts, bolts,
and frozen mechanical parts
Removes tar, sap, oils, greases, adhesives, label residues, and more
Minimizes friction and wear with a low viscosity, long lasting oil blend, leading to
greater machine efficiency
Provides extreme protection against rust and corrosion with high tech corrosion
inhibitors and leaves a preservative film that protects against abrasive particles
like dirt, sand, and salt
Repels water due to its high hydrophobicity
Safe on seals, plastics, rubber, paint, and coatings
Low
VOC’s,
no CFC's or Chlorinated Solvents
Non-toxic
Will not contaminate delicate electronic circuits with silicone particles
