TRUEGARD 308 RUST PREVENTIVE is a premium solvent-based fluid engineered to deliver superior rust protection for metal surfaces. Upon application, it forms a thin, dry, waxy film that provides highly effective and long-lasting corrosion resistance once the solvent has evaporated.

Application Methods

This light-bodied fluid is versatile and can be applied by spray, dip, or brush, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and maintenance environments. TRUEGARD 308 is designed for ease of use and consistent coverage, ensuring optimal protection regardless of the application technique.

Protection Performance

TRUEGARD 308 delivers outstanding protection for both indoor and outdoor storage:

·      Indoor Storage: Provides several years of reliable rust prevention for stored metal components.

·      Outdoor Shed Storage: Offers up to one year of protection under covered outdoor conditions.

·      Limited Unsheltered Outdoor Protection: Suitable for short-term exposure in unsheltered environments.

Exceptional Water Displacement

TRUEGARD 308 RUST PREVENTIVE features superior water displacing properties, ensuring the formation of a consistent, high-quality protective film. The product rapidly and completely removes water from metal surfaces, creating an unbroken barrier against corrosion. This capability is especially valuable when treating metal parts that have been machined using water-soluble or synthetic coolants, as it guarantees thorough coverage and lasting protection.

Typical Uses

·      Protection of machined parts after coolant exposure

·      Long-term storage of metal components

·      Maintenance of equipment and tools in humid or corrosive environments

·      Preventive treatment for metal surfaces prior to shipping or storage

Key Benefits

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our products and services

  • Yes. TRUEGARD 308 is engineered with superior water-displacing properties that rapidly and completely remove water from metal surfaces before the protective film forms. This makes it especially well-suited for parts coming directly off machines that use water-soluble or synthetic coolants, ensuring thorough, unbroken coverage even when moisture is present.

  • TRUEGARD 308 provides several years of protection for parts stored indoors, up to one year under covered outdoor shed conditions, and only short-term protection for unsheltered outdoor exposure. If your parts will remain outside without cover for extended periods, this product's outdoor performance may not be sufficient and storage conditions should be adjusted accordingly.

  • TRUEGARD 308's light-bodied formulation supports all three methods consistently. Dipping is well-suited for small or complex-geometry parts requiring complete surface coverage, spraying works efficiently for large surfaces or high-volume applications, and brushing allows targeted treatment of specific areas or spot maintenance. The light body ensures even film formation regardless of the method chosen.

  • As a solvent-based fluid, the protective film forms only after the solvent evaporates, so adequate ventilation during spray, dip, or brush application is important. For detailed handling precautions, storage requirements, and fire-safety guidelines - especially relevant at 275-gallon tote quantities - consult the product's Safety Data Sheet before use.

  • TRUEGARD 308 is suitable for both. In addition to pre-storage and pre-shipping protection, it is listed for ongoing preventive maintenance of equipment and tools in humid or corrosive environments. Its water-displacing properties and durable waxy film make it practical for regular use in demanding shop conditions, not just one-time coating before storage.

  • A 275-gallon tote is designed for high-volume industrial use where dip tanks or spray systems are in continuous operation. Because this is a solvent-based product, the tote should be stored in a well-ventilated area away from ignition sources and in accordance with the Safety Data Sheet requirements. Reviewing the product data sheet before setting up dip or spray equipment will help ensure correct operating parameters and consistent film quality.
