Rust stopper and lubricant for tubes and pipes
HINDERRUST is a solution to
common problems in the tube and pipe
industries, including flash rust. It is a
solvent-free, all-in-one, rust-stopping,
rust-inhibiting and lubricating product
that aggressively wets and spreads
across application surfaces.
Uses for HinderRust include pro-
tecting newly machined parts and
equipment against flash rust, protecting
chains, wire rope cables, tools and
weapons, and potentially acting both
as a mould release agent and as a
protection agent against corrosion
on moulds and dies. The lubricating
agent in HinderRust not only attacks
corrosion, but also frees up frozen joints
and fasteners. HinderRust is available
in three versions: R2.0 for short-term
surface protection, removable by heavy
washing to allow for final finishing; S4.0
for standard uses; and HV100, which
slowly self-polymerises over time and
provides added protection in cases of
extreme exposure to rust-producing
conditions. All three versions are
solvent-free, allowing them to be used
in enclosed areas.
The solvent-free, low-odour com-
bination product uses the PTFE
technologies developed by Fluoramics,
Inc during its 50-year history. The
company is known both for its invention of
Tufoil technology, an engine oil additive,
and for its line of thread sealants and
greases, Lox-8 and Formula-8, which
are safe to use in harsh environments.

Por table
ultrasonic
flow meter
COLTRACO Ultrasonics has launched
the PortasonicTM portable ultrasonic flow
meter, a handheld, clamp-on device that
provides accurate flow measurement
from the outside of a pipe.
The self-adapting Portasonic mea-
sures the flow rate by utilising two
transducers that function as ultrasonic
transmitters and receivers. It is suited
to checking the flow rates of clean, non-
aerated fluids such as water, with the
ability to measure anywhere on full pipes
from 12 to 4,570mm (½" to 180").
The compact and lightweight
Portasonic can penetrate all common
metal and plastic pipe materials with
its non-invasive external clamp. The
technology provides an easy way to cater
for sprinkler system maintenance in the
fire industry.
