Rustilo DW 800 Series: Enhancing Worker Safety and Providing Long-Term Savings

When it comes to maintaining the quality and longevity of metal components, selecting the right dewatering and corrosion prevention solutions is crucial. Castrol's Rustilo DW 800 and DW 806 are two products developed to meet the high standards of industrial applications. These solutions not only provide effective dewatering and corrosion prevention but also contribute to a safer and more cost-effective operational environment. This blog will present real-life situations where the Rustilo DW 800 series has proven its worth as a high-quality dewatering fluid.

Overview of Rustilo DW 800

Rustilo DW 800 is a high-performance dewatering fluid designed to remove water from metal components quickly and effectively. Once applied, it evaporates without leaving any noticeable residue, making it ideal for use on surfaces where a clean finish is essential, such as polished or plated parts. This product is particularly useful in situations where components cannot be heated to accelerate drying, as it prevents the formation of water spots. While it can be applied through spraying, Rustilo DW 800 is most effective when components are fully immersed in a dip tank, ensuring thorough water removal.

How Does Rustilo DW 800 Enhance Operator Health & Safety?

Here is a case where Castrol Rustilo DW 800 addressed health and safety challenges for a large manufacturing company.

Situation:

A large auto component manufacturer was facing significant health and safety challenges due to the use of a volatile chemical solvent. This solvent, employed for cleaning components from pre-process contaminants and residual moisture, was causing eye and skin irritation among plant operators. The adverse effects of the solvent were creating an unsafe working environment, necessitating a safer alternative.

Solution:

Castrol introduced Rustilo DW 800 to address these safety concerns. Rustilo DW 800 is formulated with an 80 Flash de-aromatized solvent, which significantly reduces the risk of eye and skin irritation. The product was demonstrated to the manufacturer, showcasing its superior HSSE (Health, Safety, Security, and Environmental) profile and effective dewatering capabilities.

Outcome:

After implementing Rustilo DW 800, the manufacturer observed a noticeable improvement in the work environment. Operators reported a significant reduction in irritation and a safer overall atmosphere. Additionally, the product's excellent dewatering properties ensured that components were thoroughly dried without leaving any residues, resulting in cleaner input materials for subsequent processes like coating.

Value Delivered:

• Enhanced operator health and safety
• Superior dewatering properties
• Improved quality of post-process components
• Safer and more compliant working conditions

Overview of Rustilo DW 806

Rustilo DW 806 is a corrosion-preventive solvent with strong dewatering capabilities, designed to leave an ultra-thin oily film that protects metal components from rust and corrosion. After application, the solvent evaporates, leaving behind this protective layer, which is ideal for safeguarding parts during short to medium-term storage. Rustilo DW 806 is especially effective for use on items like tubes, gears, springs, and machined components. While it can be applied by brushing or spraying, immersing the components in a dip tank maximises its dewatering and protective effects.

How Does Rustilo DW 806 Offer Higher Coverage and Lower Consumption Compared to Competitors?

In this case, Rustilo DW 806 enhanced efficiency and reduced the costs associated with rust prevention for various customers.

Situation:

Several customers in the manufacturing sector were using low-cost rust preventive solutions to cut costs. However, these products required higher quantities to achieve the desired level of protection, leading to increased consumption and still leaving components at risk of rusting. This inefficiency was driving up costs in the long run, despite the initial savings.

Solution:

To address these inefficiencies, Castrol introduced Rustilo DW 806. This product, based on an 80 Flash de-aromatized solvent, offers a unique combination of low film thickness and high coverage. Rustilo DW 806 was tested against competitor products, with a focus on monitoring consumption and coverage.

Outcome:

The implementation of Rustilo DW 806 led to remarkable improvements in efficiency. It was observed that the product could protect twice the number of components using the same quantity of oil as the competition. This higher coverage, combined with lower consumption, provided better rust protection and reduced the overall cost of rust prevention for customers.

Value Delivered:

• Lower consumption of rust preventive oils
• Improved inventory control and cost management
• Enhanced rust protection for components
• Significant long-term savings for businesses
