Tactical
Vehicles…
R
ain, salt and sand are deadly culprits that lead
to corrosion.
Corrosion attacks Army equipment relentless-
ly. Its cost is staggering.
Your best weapon against that corrosion is
rust inhibitor. Just wipe or spray on the inhibitor
every 8 months or so to the inside and under-
neath your vehicles. It will slow the spread of
new rust and clean up old rust.
It won’t harm paint surfaces, plastics, rubber,
glass or wiring, but it will make ‘em shine for a
week or two. If that ruins your camouflage
efforts, keep it off the outside of your equipment.
The inhibitor works by eliminating moisture
that holds salt, dirt, and other pollutants that eat
up metal. It also lubes moving parts and pene-
trates existing rust.
The inhibitor is petroleum-based and contains
no silicones, solvents, or anything else classified
as hazardous material. Even though the inhibitor
contains no hazardous material, the headshed
recommends that you wear a respirator, goggles
and gloves when applying it because of possible
irritation to your respiratory tract or skin.
Order the amount of inhibitor you need:
NSN 8030-01-389-1413 brings a 55-gal drum
of inhibitor, a spray head and an instruction
video. You can get a copy of the video by itself
for free by calling (800) 856-6798.
As a rule of thumb, it takes about 2 gallons to
treat a HMMWV and up to 3 gallons for a 2
