PARATAC is a liquid tackifier, corrosion inhibitor, and flash rust inhibitor used in various industrial oils and lubricants. It is suitable for applications such as bar oils, chain oils, circulating oils, gear oils, greases, slideway lubricants, and textile oils. This product effectively prevents corrosion and flash rust, while providing tackiness for better adhesion and performance in industrial settings.

Usage Information

PARATAC contributes significant tackiness when used at concentrations of 0.5 to 2.0 wt%. Since there are no standardized test methods for these properties, the required treat level is best determined by the user.

Composition

PARATAC is an oil solution of high molecular weight polyisobutylene. The diluent oil in PARATAC is lightcolored paraffinic oil that does not require hazard labeling.

Storage & Handling

Handling

Due to the viscosity of PARATAC, elevated temperature about 150°F (65°C) can facilitate handling, but temperatures over 200°F (95°C) should be avoided. Where higher temperatures are encountered, Functional V-188 is recommended instead. Safe handling precautions are the same as those to be taken with the base oil; see the current Safety Data Sheet. The tackiness of the resulting lubricant can be lessened by shearing, so mechanical shearing during blending and handling should be minimized.
