Corrosion:

A simple explanation:

 Corrosion simply stated is a natural phenomenon which destroys most metals by either a chemical or electrochemical reaction. The metal is converted, usually with the help of an electrolyte, into a stable metallic compound such as an oxide, hydroxide, or sulfate. The rate at which metals corrode depends greatly on the environment they are exposed to, and the amount of preventive maintenance they receive. Metals that are exposed to marine atmospheres, moisture, tropical temperature, and industrial chemical atmospheres have the highest rate of corrosion. The tendency of metals to corrode creates a serious problem in the area of aircraft operation.  

1/ All Metallic Aircraft Corrode.

It is the nature of refined metals to return to their most stable form that of a metallic oxide. the rate at which metals corrode depends upon the environment they receive. Metals exposed to marine atmospheres, moisture, and tropical temperatures have the highest rates of corrosion.

2/ ACF-50 Kills Corrosion On Contact.

ACF-50 is a state-of-the-art anti-corrosion/lubricating compound that has been specially designed for aviation and aerospace use. It is a clean, clear, non-toxic, ultra-thin fluid compound which leaves a non-greasy atmospheric barrier to protect metal surfaces. With a dielectric rating of nearly 40KV, ACF-50 will kill corrosion cells on contact and completely remove the moisture from the metal surface. It actively penetrates into seams, lap joints and beneath rivet heads, expelling moisture and even saltwater. In addition, it can be used on all types of plastics, paints and seals without fear of damage.

3/ One Treatment Protects For 24 Months.

No matter how hot, cold, humid, or salt-laden your atmosphere is, ACF-50 will perform. It will remain effective for approximately two years. Exactly how long an ACF-50 treat will last depends upon how corrosive your aircraft’s environment is, how often you fly, and whether or not your aircraft is hangared.

4/ ACF-50 Meets the Navy’s Requirements for 81309E Type ll and Type lll.

What does this double rating mean? It means that ACF-50 is not restricted to airframe application. It is approved for use on airframes plus electrical and avionics systems.

5/ Regular ACF-50 Treatments Will Save You Money.

Check with your insurance agent to see if your annual premium may be discounted for regular ACF-50 treatments.

THE BOTTOM LINE:

Treating your aircraft with ACF-50 will save you money. It is a fact that preventive maintenance is always cheaper than the repair or replacement of costly aviation components. Plus, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that your aircraft investment has received the best corrosion protection available on the market.
